OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Please remember that the steam cleaner
operates by emitting steam at an increased
temperature of 115
o
C. 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.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
In hard water areas, we strongly recommend
using distilled or de-ionised water (available
from larger supermarkets). This will prevent
limescale build-up which with time will affect
the performance of the cleaner. Problems
caused by limescale are not covered by the
guarantee.
1 Remove the tank filler cap by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise and fit the funnel provided.
2 With the cleaner held at around 45°, pour the
water into the funnel. The maximum capacity is
0.8 litres of water which will give more than 30
minutes of steaming. Use less water if required.
Do not overfill.
3 Remove the funnel and refit the cap. Press the
black centre of the cap to ensure the air valve is
free. This valve prevents water escaping but
allows air into the tank. Test this valve by
pressing the centre after every filling.
ASSEMBLY
1 Depending on the task, decide on the nozzle
and prepare the nozzle as shown in later
sections (pages 4-6). To fit the nozzle to the
main body, align the hole in the nozzle with the
lock button „ on the main body. Press the lock
button in and then push the nozzle fully on until
the lock button clicks into place A.
USING THE PRODUCT
WARNING: Before switching ON, make sure
the nozzle is located in safe area and away
from persons. Steam will be emitted after
around 30 seconds.
1 Press the ON/OFF switch Ù and the red power
ON light ˆ will illuminate. The boiler will start
to heat but no steam will be emitted.
2 Press the STEAM switch ı , after about 30
seconds when the boiler is up to temperature,
the water pump will start, the green steam
ready light ˜ will illuminate and steam will be
emitted.
3 The steam output
can be regulated
using the variable
steam setting
control on the side
of the handle B.
When using on hard/wooden floors, we
recommend setting to minimum steam to
prevent the floors becoming too wet.
• To stop the steam, switch either switch to the
OFF position Ù . For quick breaks, we suggest
just switching OFF the STEAM switch ı s.
After switching the cleaner to OFF, steam will
continue to be emitted for a few seconds until
the boiler is empty.
WARNING: Switch OFF and unplug before
changing nozzles. After use, nozzles will be
very hot, allow to cool before handling.
CARPET CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Carpets should be dry vacuumed
thoroughly before using the steam cleaner.
For freer movement of the steamer over larger
carpeted areas, the carpet glide base
attachment Ú can be used.
1 Detach and remove the steam comb section Ò
from the carpet glide attachment.
2 Fold the floor cloth (for carpets) È and place
inside the carpet glide base ÚC.
