Can I use chemical detergents or perfumes in the water tank?

No. Do not add any chemical detergents, perfumes, alcohol, or descaler. Use only recommended water types.

What is the steam temperature?

The steam is emitted at an increased temperature of 115 °C. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid delicate materials.

Operating the appliance

IMPORTANT: Please remember that your steam cleaner operates by emitting steam at an increased temperature of 115^ C. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Never use it on objects or surfaces which cannot resist this temperature, or on surfaces with coatings or polishes, or on delicate materials such as dralon, plastic, natural fur or antique items etc.

If in doubt, check carefully on a part of the material where minor marks will not matter.

Dual functionality

Upright steam cleaning Portable steam cleaning

Your steam cleaner can easily be configured into two different cleaning modes:

- Upright steam cleaner for floors and carpets.

- Portable steam cleaner (10) to be worn with a shoulder strap (36) for cleaning vertical or hard to reach surfaces.

Attachments (32-39) can be used on the portable steam cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Keep the product upright (as shown in the image on the left) when using in the portable steam cleaning mode.

Upright steam cleaning: assembly

A Insert the handle (1) onto the portable steam cleaner (10).
B Guide the ridge on the floorhead neck (24) into the groove inside the steam outlet (21). Lower the portable cleaner onto the floorhead (22) until it clicks into place.
C Attach the micro-fibre floor cloth (27) to the

VC720506MUK Rev1_Instruction Book 09/01/2014 16-42 Page 6

Using in upright steam cleaning mode

IMPORTANT: Before use, hardfloors should be thoroughly swept and carpets should be thoroughly dry vacuumed. However, we recommend that the steam cleaner is not used on:

- bare wooden floors or any surfaces where wood is exposed (as it will absorb moisture and may distort).

- damaged hardwoods or hardwoods with gaps present (as it will absorb moisture and may distort). - waxed floors - the wax may be removed by the action of the heat and steam.

Do not keep the steam cleaner in one place for an extended period, because the continual heat may cause damage to carpets and laminate flooring.

Please disconnect and allow the unit to cool before changing cloths and attachments.

Remove the water tank filler cap (9) by turning it anti-clockwise and pulling it away. Insert the spout of the filler g (29) into the water tank opening. Fill the water tank to the MAX line on the water gauge (11). To assist with this, the water gauge is illuminated when the product is switched on (see step 4).

IMPORTANT: To prevent limescale build-up in the water tank, never fill the steam mop's tank with anything other than deionised, demineralised or distilled water (available from most leading supermarkets). Any problems arising from limescale will invalidate the product guarantee.

Using the portable steam cleaner

This function is ideal for cleaning vertical surfaces and hard to reach places.

1. Ensure the cleaner is turned off by pressing the On/Off power button (15), and the plug is disconnected from the mains supply.
2. If using from storage, release the power cord (4) from the cord storage hooks (3 & 6) (see step 3 of 'Using in upright steam cleaning mode', page 6, but do not secure the power cord in the cord holder (2)).
3. Release the handle (1) from the portable steam cleaner (10) by pressing the handle release button (8), then lift the handle out from the handle dock (5).

1. Next, release the floorhead (22) from the portable steam cleaner by pressing the floorhead release button (23), then pull the floorhead out from the steam outlet (21) on the bottom of the portable steam cleaner.
2. Attach the shoulder strap (36) to both of the shoulder strap hooks (7 & 26) on the portable steam cleaner, ensuring they are securely attached.

Attach the extension hose (33) by pushing the extension hose connector (32) into the steam outlet on the bottom of the portable steam cleaner. Guide the ridge on the extension hose connector into the groove inside the steam outlet.

Attachments (34, 37, 38 & 39) can now be pushed firmly onto the nozzle end of the extension hose.

NOTE: The portable cleaner is designed to be carried by hanging the shoulder strap over your shoulder. Ensure the cleaner body remains upright throughout use (as shown - the arrows denote the direction of the steam flow) - this will enable it to produce steam correctly. Holding the steamer horizontally or upside down may

VC720506MUK Rev1_Instruction Book 09/01/2014 16:48 Page 10

Follow the two maintenance steps below after every use.

1. Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the socket. Place immediately on a suitable surface (eg. tiled floor) where the residual heat/moisture in the floor nozzle/cloth will not affect the surface. Wait until the cleaner has cooled down completely.

2. Empty the water tank by removing the filler cap (9) and pouring out the water.

To facilitate emptying the water tank, we recommend removing the handle (1) and floorhead (22) (see points 3 and 4 of 'Using the portable steam cleaner', page 8).

Allow the inside of the water tank to dry out before replacing the filler cap.

Storage

We recommend storing the steam cleaner with the carpet glider (31) attached, but the cloths removed to minimise the likelihood of any water leaking onto surfaces.

Wrap the power cord (4) around the two cord storage hooks (3 & 6), rotating the upper cord storage hook (3) upwards to secure the power cord in place.

MaintenanceAfter use

WARNING: Always unplug the steam cleaner from the mains supply before undertaking any maintenance procedures.

Overall maintenance

Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand normal day-to-day use, but an occasional wipe over with a damp cloth will help maintain it. Abrasive cleaners should not be used.

Cleaning the cloths

The micro-fibre floor cloth (27) and the elasticated utility cloth (35) can be machine washed (40°C max). For heavy soiling, soak the cloths in warm water and detergent or a mild stain remover.

IMPORTANT: Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

Allow cloths to completely dry before storing.

Replacement cloths can be purchased by calling our UK halpline directly on: 0644 873 0726 or logging onto www.morphyrichards.com.

Maintaining the attachments

Dirt and blockages should be regularly removed from the attachments to help prolong their usage.
