The accessory adaptor can be used with the jet nozzle,
the scraper, one of the brush nozzles or the window
nozzle. Push the nozzle onto the accessory adaptor so
that both the arrows are pointing towards each other on
a line, and tighten it a quarter turn clockwise. Follow the
steps described in reverse order to remove the nozzles.

3.1.5 Jet nozzle (5)
This nozzle makes it easy to clean places that are
hard to reach, such as corners, joints and toilets.
3.1.6 Scraper (6)
Stubborn dirt and wallpaper can be easily removed
with the scraper.
3.1.7 Nylon brushes (7/8)
For cleaning very dirty objects, such as blinds, radiators,
valves.
3.1.8 Metal brushes (9)
The metal brush is suitable for heavy staining on less
sensitive materials, such as stainless steel or stone.
3.1.9 Window nozzle (10+11)
Ideal for cleaning large glass surface areas, such as win-
dow panes, mirrors, with or without the cleaning cloth (11).
Caution: Glass may crack if subjected
to thermal shock. Pre-heat the glass
pane before steam cleaning by spraying
steam in a wide arc from a distance
of 20-25 cm. Slowly reduce the distance
to 10-15 cm to heat the glass up further.
3.2 Filling the water tank
The THOMAS VAPORO Buggy has a built-in water
tank holding 1.6 litres. Switch the steam cleaner off and
remove the mains plug from the socket. The steam clean-
er must always be disconnected from the mains when
filling or topping up with water. Unscrew the tank cap
(Fig. 5) by pressing the cap down and simultaneously
turning it anti-clockwise. Use the funnel and measuring
jug supplied when filling with water.
5
Only fill with pure water without additives of any kind,
e.g. perfume, cleaning agents, alcohol, as they could
damage the machine and make it dangerous to use.
It is advisable to use distilled water to prevent limescale
deposits if the water is very hard (above 2.5 mmol/l or
21°dH). Otherwise, boil the water first to prolong the
service life of the appliance.
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum
quantity of 1.6 litres when filling the tank.
Screw the tank cap firmly back on by pressing down
and turning it clockwise.
Tip: The heating up time will be shortened
if warm water is used when filling.
