Useful information on steam cleaning:

Water in the form of steam has an ecological cleaning action and is superior to modern detergents. In the form of steam, water is used sparingly. The steam produced by the machine because of the high temperature reached dissolves fats and dust particles which are normally hard to remove. Steam has an hygienic cleaning action and leaves no bacteria, mites, germs, pathogens; it binds dust particles, thus preventing dust from causing any allergies. You can benefit from all these advantages by using the steam cleaner for your house work and at the same time you can make your contribution to the environment.

Important!

The instruction Manual is an integral part of the appliance. Read it carefully before using the machine. Always keep the instruction manual to hand, in order to consult it each time it is needed.

USE OF THE STEAM CLEANER

Important advices

- ATTENTION!

• Always make sure that the materials or the surfaces to be cleaned are suitable for the steam cleaner.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions about the cleaning of materials.
• If information about certain materials or surfaces is not available, test the cleaner on a small area. Should any damage occur, do not use the steam cleaner.
• Use the recommended accessories.
• Always put the cotton cloth on the brushes to avoid scratches.
• On vertical surfaces, always work from the top to the bottom. Put a cloth under the surface to be cleaned, to collect dirt.
• Use the extension pipes if necessary.
• Spray the steam on small areas of the surface at a time. Dissolved dirt can be removed more easily.
• In case of dirt which is hard to remove, treat the surfaces directly with the steam jet.
• On delicate surfaces, such as wood surfaces, spray a little steam and dry immediately.
• Carpets must be cleaned first with the vacuum cleaner and then with the steam cleaner.

NOTE:

- The steam jet can't remove any limescale. To get rid of it, use the descaler.

Cleaning window glass

(fig. G)

• ATTENTION! If external temperatures are around the freezing-point, the window glass can be slightly sprayed with steam at a distance of 20 cm, at least.
• After that, you can treat the whole glass surface with steam to offset sudden changes in temperature and to avoid tensile stress on the glass surface.
• Sudden changes in temperature between glass and steam can break the glass.

Installing the glass cleaner - use

(7) Optional (fig G)

- Fit the window cleaner into the steam nozzle handle (19) or into the extension pipe (17) until the spring button (18) snaps into place.

NOTE:

- Unplug the machine.
- Do not empty the machine as long as there is hot water inside the boiler.
- In order to avoid formation of limescale, it is recommended to fill the boiler with water rinse and empty it once a month.
- If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the boiler must be emptied.
- Allow the appliance to cool down before storing it.
- To prevent the build up of any scale contained in the water, use the anti-scale as indicated below.

▶ HOW TO STORE THE STEAM CLEANER

(fig. H)

- The cable may be wound around the two hooks on the back.

Cleaning

• ATTENTION!
• Don't use any solvents as they may damage the machine plastic components.
• Clean the machine enclosure with a wet cloth.
• Clean the machine accessories only with water.
• Let the clean brushes dry, with the bristles turned upwards, to avoid deforming them.

▶ CLEANING THE BOILER

• All maintenance jobs must be performed only

when the appliance is cold and with the plug disconnected.

• Clean the appliance boiler every 5 maximum 10 fills depending on water hardness. Such information can be obtained from your municipal authorities or water utility.
• Fill the boiler with water and shake well. Afterwards empty the boiler by tilting the appliance on one side.

▶ DESCALING THE BOILER (using the descaler)

The descaler prevents limescale from depositing on the appliance components and In the pipes coming into contact with steam.

• ATTENTION! Do not swallow. Do not mix with other substances. If the product comes into contact with the eyes or face, wash with plenty of water. Store in its original, tightly closed bottle.
  S2 = Keep out of the reach of children. The appliance cannot be used as long as the liquid is inside the boiler.
• To ensure good and long appliance operation, the boiler is best descaled according to the following schedule (DH= deutsche Haerte)

1 dH = 9,52 gr/l CaO (Calcium Carbonate)

< 10 Dh: Every 100 fills

between 10/22 Dh: every 75 fills

▶ 22 Dh: every 50 fills

• To find out water hardness, contact your municipal authorities or water utility
1 Pour about 1 litre of hot water into the appliance
2 Pour the contents of HALF the bag provided and allow the solution to work for about 8 hours
3 Do not close the cap.
4 Subsequently empty the appliance. Because a certain amount of liquid still remains in the boiler, rinse this with cold water 2 or 3 times to remove any scale residues
5 The appliance is now ready to use
- The contents of the bag provided is enough for two descaling operations. Afterwards any other antiscale product available on the market can be used (in powder or liquid).

▶ HOW TO ELIMINATE LITTLE FAILURES

- DANGER! Repairs must be carried out only by an Authorized Service Centre.
