3. Starting up
3.1 Assembling the accessories
The steam hose with steam gun must be connected
to the appliance and the required accessory must be
attached before the THOMAS VAPORO Buggy can be
used. The THOMAS VAPORO Buggy has an accesso-
ries compartment which houses the accessory adaptor,
jet nozzle, scraper, small nylon brush, large nylon brush,
metal brush, window brush and cleaning cloths. Open
the accessories compartment by pulling the blue locking
handle upwards and lifting the transparent cover of the
accessories compartment off towards the front (Fig. 1)
1
Remove the required steam accessory and replace the
cover. Slide the nose of the cover into the recess above
the steam socket and press it down firmly at the back
until the cover clicks into place.
3.1.1 Steam hose (3)
First of all connect the steam hose to the steam socket
on the front of the THOMAS VAPORO Buggy. To do
this, flip the cover flap down and push the connector of
the steam hose firmly into the steam socket until it clicks
into place.
To remove the steam hose, press in both release buttons
on the right and left hand sides of the steam connector
and pull it out of the steam socket.
3.1.2 Extension tubes (14)
Attach the extension tubes if the steam cleaner is to be
used to clean floors or areas which are difficult to reach.
To do this, push the open end of a tube onto the steam
gun until the release button clicks into place. Add one,
two or all three extension tubes as required. Press in
the appropriate release button and pull the tubes apart
with a downward movement to take the extension tube
off again.

3.1.3 Floor nozzle (12+13)
The floor nozzle is supplied with a separate connector
for packaging reasons. Assemble the connector as illus-
trated (Fig. 2).

Attach the floor nozzle to the end of the extension tube.
Make sure that the nozzle clicks into place. The floor
nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable wall and floor
coverings. It may be used with or without the cleaning
cloth. However, we recommend using the cloth to pro-
tect coverings in the case of sensitive surfaces such as
wood or linoleum. Place the floor nozzle in the middle
of the cleaning cloth, press the inner sides of the clips
down, insert the overlapping cloth and let go of the
clips again (Fig. 3). Press the release button and pull
the tubes apart with a downward movement to take the
extension tube off again.

3.1.4 Accessory adaptor (4)
The steam cleaner has a range of very varied attach-
ment nozzles to enable the most effective and thorough
cleaning of different surfaces. First assemble the acces-
sory adaptor so that these attachments can be connected
to the steam hose. The accessory adaptor can be attached
directly to both the steam gun and the end of one or
more extension tubes.
Ensure that the adaptor is secure and has clicked into
place. Press in the release button and pull apart with
a downward movement to take the adaptor off again.
