The orange operating light (Fig. 6) lights up and starts
heating up the steam cleaner. The operating tempera-
ture is reached after about 11 minutes and the green
heating pilot lamp lights up. The appliance is now
ready for use.

4.2 Using the steam cleaner

Warning: Never aim the steam outlet of
the steam gun at people, animals, plants
or electrical systems (e.g. ovens or sock-
ets). There is a risk of scalding or electric
shock!
Release the locking device (child-proof device) by push-
ing the triangular pin on the right-hand side of the steam
gun in towards the left (Fig. 7). Hot steam now escapes
if you touch the steam button. First of all, hold the steam
gun over an old cloth to absorb any initial spray water.
Press the steam button until the steam comes out evenly.
Cleaning can now begin.

Caution: Always test the steam cleaner
first on inconspicuous or invisible areas
of the surfaces or fabrics to be cleaned
to check their tolerance to hot steam.

– Using steam may bleach painted/varnished wood.
– Steam may discolour shiny plastics.
– Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the
temperature of steam.
– Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon fibres without
first performing a suitability test on a concealed area.
For obvious reasons, the manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage to objects, materials, people,
animals or plants that occurs as a result of unsuitable
use of hot steam or improper use of the appliance.
Residual steam continues to escape for a few seconds
after switching off the steam function.
Do not aim the steam outlet at one point for too long.
Loosen the dirt by moving the steam jet backwards and
forwards. The flow rate of the steam emitted can be
regulated by turning the steam controller and can be
adjusted to the level of dirtiness. Turn the steam control-
ler clock-wise for less steam, and anti-clockwise for more
steam (Fig. 8).

Do not tip or tilt the appliance by more than 45° during
use and ensure that the appliance always stands on
a firm base. One full tank is enough for a maximum of
50 minutes use. Do not leave the machine unattended
whilst switched on and if necessary use the childproof
lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the
triangular pin on the left-hand side of the steam gun in
to the right.
Warning: The housing and accessories
become hot during operation. Allow the
appliance to cool down before changing
the accessories and topping up the
water. Never open the tank cap whilst
the steam cleaner is switched on as the
tank is under pressure.
THOMAS VAPORO Buggy is fitted with an overheating
cut-out. The appliance switches off automatically on reach-
ing a temperature of 180°C. This prevents overheating.
In the event of overheating, disconnect the appliance
immediately by pulling out the plug. After a cool down
phase of 30 minutes, the appliance can be used again.
