Operating the appliance

IMPORTANT: Please remember that the 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 delicate materials such as dralon, plastic, natural fur etc. If in doubt, check carefully on a part of the material where minor marks will not matter.

Assembling the handle

Insert the handle (1) into the top of the upper handle tube (4) (with the small clip on the handle below the upper cord storage hook (2) aligned with the small rectangular hole towards the top of the tube) until the handle clicks into place.

If you wish to remove the handle (1), press the metal clip at the top of the tube and lift out the handle.

Insert the lower handle tube (6) into the handle slot (7) until it clicks into place.

If you wish to remove the handle (1) (with the upper (4) and lower (6) handle tubes) when emptying the water tank (11), press the handle release button (8) and lift the handle and tubes out.

Steam cleaning floors

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 hardfloors or hardfloors with gaps present (as it will absorb moisture and may distort).
  Also, do not keep the mop in one place for an extended period, because the continual heat may cause damage to carpets and laminate flooring.

Hold the floorhead (16) to the floor with your foot and tilt the cleaner back.

If additional height is required, the handle can be extended. Lift the tube extension clip (5) to extend the handle (1). Push the clip down to lock the handle.

After use

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. Remove the cloths to either air dry or wash.
3. Empty the water tank (11) by removing the filler cap (9) and pouring out the water. To facilitate this, we recommend removing the handle and tubes by pressing the handle release button (8) (see point 2 of 'Assembling the handle', page 4).

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 (21) attached, but the cloths removed.

Lower the handle by lifting the tube extension clip (5). Push down on the handle (1) to push the upper handle tube (4) down into the lower handle tube (6). Push the tube clip back down to lock.

Maintenance

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 hard-floor and carpet floor cloths (18/20) can be machine washed (30°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 to completely dry before storing.
