OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARATION FOR USE

WARNING: ALWAYS unplug the appliance prior to any type of maintenance on the unit. As all the appliances are thoroughly tested before sale, there may be some residual water in the boiler.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

To connect the tube and the accessories (fig. 1), insert part

(A)in part (B) turning this slightly to facilitate insertion. Make sure that key (C) is securely fastened in the hole provided (D). Open the reservoir cover (1) and pour in 3 1/4 cups

(.8 liters) of tap water or distilled water if your tap water is particularly hard. Never add cleaning fluids. Close the reservoir cover (1). Before plugging in the appliance, make sure that you have assembled the tubes and accessories correctly and the steam switch on handgrip is “Off”. Press the on/off switch (2) to “On”; the steam ready light (3) will come on; when the light (3) switches off (after about 1 minute), you can start to use the appliance. To spray steam, simply press the steam switch button on the handle (6) (fig. 2).

When there is no more steam, fill the tank again. To avoid damage, never use the steam gun without water. If the tank is full and no steam is sprayed, have the appliance checked by the manufacturer. Always switch off the appliance after use, pull out the plug and drain any residual water from water tank.

Important User Information

Please note that this steam cleaner has a “flow through injection” type boiler and is not a pressurized system. It will take approximately 45-90 seconds for the steam injector to heat up and the “steam ready light” to go off. Once the steam ready light has gone off, push the steam switch on the handgrip to the “On” position (I) in order to start the steam flow. Steam power will steadily increase during the first four (4) minutes of use, after which time steam output will stabilize. Some steam will condense around the floor brush when in use and will cause hard surfaces to become wet during the cleaning process, this is normal.

NOZZLE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Your steamer should not normally require cleaning, however, should you notice a marked decrease in steam output it may be necessary to remove mineral deposit build-up from the nozzle orifice. First ensure that there is water in the tank.

If tank is empty, fill with water, (we recommend using purified or mineral water), then re-start unit noting whether steam

output is normal. If steam output is still low, follow these cleaning instructions:

1.Unplug steam cleaner from wall outlet.

2.Use a small diameter stiff metal wire such as a straightened metal paperclip and carefully insert the end of the wire into the nozzle orifice.

3.Move wire back and forth several times to remove any deposits.

4.Reconnect appliance to power outlet, switch on and note steam output.

5.If steam performance does not improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.
