19. Do not fill the water tank with anything other than water. Never put additives (such as perfume, stain remover, or products containing alcohol) in the water as they may damage the steam cleaner or make it dangerous to use.

20. Empty the water tank when the steam cleaner is not in use.

21. Do not touch any hot areas on the steam cleaner. It is normal for the steam cleaner to heat up during operation.

22. The force and heat of the steam may have an adverse effect on some materials. Always test the steamer on a small concealed area to determine if it is suitable for treatment.

23. Accessories become hot during use. Allow them to cool down before handling them.

24. Never point or aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk of scalding!). Do not aim the steam cleaner at electrical systems or wires.

25. Connecting the steam cleaner to improper voltage may result in damage to the steam cleaner and possible injury. Always plug the steam cleaner into a power outlet with the correct voltage. See the rating label on the unit for the correct voltage.

Steam Release Safety FeatureIMPORTANT! This steam cleaner is equipped with a steam release valve mechanism, located at the rear of the steam generator. In event of a steam flow blockage, the safety valve is designed to release the steam. Regular cleaning of the steam chamber and nozzle is therefore recommended to avoid such an occurrence. If the steam is released from the safety valve, stop cleaning and unplug the steam cleaner from the electrical outlet. Allow the steam cleaner to cool down thoroughly for at least one hour. After this time, clean the steam chamber and nozzle following the instructions in section 6. If steam is still being released from the safety valve after cleaning, contact an authorized Service Agent.

NOTE: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before using the steam cleaner.

Upright Steaming Mode: Carpet CleaningNote: Before the use on sensitive materials, we recommend that you test it on a hidden area of the surface to be cleaned.

1. For freer movement of the steamer over larger carpeted areas the carpet glider attachment can be used.

9.

IMPORTANT: When the cloth becomes very wet, rinse out the moisture, use the reverse side or replace with a clean, dry cloth. If the towel becomes too dirty, rinse out the dirt, use the reverse side or replace with a clean, dry cloth.

For removing stubborn stains or embedded grime on hard surfaces, fold and attach the regular towel whilst leaving the brushes underneath the floor head visible.

Upright Steaming Mode: Hard Floor Cleaning and Stubborn StainsReduce the steam flow to a lower setting by turning the steam control regulator. Use both forward and backward strokes across the floor area.

Slide the brush sliders outwards so that the brushes appear underneath the floor head. Move the brushes backwards and forwards over the selected area.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the brushes for routine carpet and hard floor cleaning as unnecessary scrubbing may cause damage. The brushes should only be used for removing stubborn stains and grime.

IMPORTANT: The housing and accessories become hot during operation. Allow the steam cleaner to cool down before replacing or removing the accessories.

Both sides of the microfibre towel can be used. Choose the smoother side for easier movement.

When cleaning parquet, laminate and wood floors, set the steam regulator control to “minimum”.

9. The steam output can be regulated using the variable steam setting control on the side of the handle.

13.

Sanitising Bedding and UpholsteryTo sanitise and remove dust mites and allergens from bedding and upholstery, fit the utility nozzle and pass the steam slowly and evenly over the surface, ensuing all areas are treated. Repeat the process. Leave the mattress to dry thoroughly before covering.

Sanitising Surfaces and Hard FloorTo sanitize surfaces and hard floors, focus steam while cleaning or mopping for at least 15 seconds. Pass the steam slowly and evenly over the surface, ensuing all areas are treated. Repeat the process.

IMPORTANT: The force and heat of the steam may have an adverse effect on some materials. Always check whether a surface is suitable for treatment with the steam cleaner by carrying out a test beforehand on a concealed area.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting any of the accessories (excluding the floor head), first connect the deflector nozzle to the end of the steam outlet on the main body of the steam cleaner. Other accessories should be fitted to the steam cleaner whilst the Deflector Nozzle is connected to the appliance.

Accessories

Deflector Nozzle: For cleaning sanitary ware such as toilet bowls, taps or drain covers. Use this nozzle at maximum steam flow. Point it directly at non-permanent stains on carpets or upholstery whilst holding a clean cloth near the stained area to capture any loosened dirt.

NOTE: When the steam cleaner is used for cleaning in the overhead position, increase the steam flow to maximum and allow approximately 30 seconds for the steam to be generated in full. Now the flow can be reduced to the level required for the particular accessory being used.

Squeegee Tool: For cleaning windows, patio doors, conservatory glass, tiles, shower screens and mirror panels. Use the squeegee at a very low steam flow by adjusting the variable steam setting. Use a cloth to wipe the blade and remove excess water during usage.

To clean windows, start at the top of the window, pressing the squeegee to the surface and drag downwards. Move the squeegee in straight passes from top to bottom. For small window panels, remove the squeegee tool and spray the steam directly onto the surface. Use the squeegee separately to wipe away the moisture.

IMPORTANT: do not use on very cold glass, at the sudden temperature change may crack the glass.

Spot Brush: For cleaning the grout between tiles or stubborn marks and stains on hard surfaces. Use at medium or high steam flow by adjusting the variable steam setting.

Apply gentle pressure. Too much force may damage the bristles. Four spare brush tips are supplied. To change, loosen the screw and pull out the brush tip.

Utility Tool: For cleaning tiled surfaces, cabinets and worktops in kitchens and bathrooms. Also use this attachment for cleaning upholstery, curtains, blinds, pillows and mattresses. Use on a low to medium steam flow by adjusting the variable steam setting. Cover the utility tool with one of the 2 microfibre utility bonnets supplied.

15.

MaintenanceIMPORTANT! Only follow these instructions when the steam cleaner is completely cooled down. Also ensure that the plug is removed from the electrical outlet.

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.

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

Cleaning the Steam Generator1. Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet and

allow the steam cleaner to completely cool down.

2. Pull down the nozzle lock and hold, then turn the steam outlet to release the hooks.

Unblocking the Steam OutletIf steam flow appears reduced, the steam nozzle may be blocked.

1. Insert the nozzle cleaning pin into the centre of the steam nozzle. This will clear any blockage that may have formed.

4. Insert the boiler cleaning brush into the chamber.

5. Rotate the boiler cleaning brush pin while pulling it in and out of the chamber to dislodge limescale. Repeat a few times and tip out contents. Repeat until clear of limescale.

6. Remove the brush and insert the steam nozzle back into the chamber and turn it clockwise to lock back into position.

NOTE: Clean the steam chamber after every 10-15 uses to ensure optimum performance.

Maintenance (continued)

17.

Storage1. Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the socket.

Please place 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 any remaining water from the tank by unscrewing the water tank cap and turning the steam cleaner upside down. This should be done over a sink or outdoors.

3. Wrap the cord around the two power cord hooks.

4. Store the steam cleaner by using the hanging strap at the top of the handle if needed.

NOTE: When you have finished steam cleaning, ensure that both the power switch and steam switch are turned off and that the plug is removed from the electrical outlet.
