Topping Up With Water; Ending Operation And Storage; General; Cleaning And Maintenance - Thomas VAPORO Buggy Mode D'emploi

4.3 Topping up with water

The tank must be topped up if the steam flow emitted
starts to decrease.
Switch off the steam cleaner by pressing the On/Off
switch. The orange operating pilot lamp goes off.
Press the steam button on the steam gun to release the
remaining pressure. Then lock the steam gun. Remove
the mains plug from the socket and allow the appliance
to cool down. Note that the water in the tank is still hot
even after 5 minutes. Open the tank cap by pressing it
down and turning it anti-clockwise.
Warning: Hot steam may escape on
opening. There is a risk of burns from
the cap thread and the tank.
Top up with water using the measuring jug and funnel
(see section 3.2 "Filling the water tank"), then close the
tank cap again. The steam cleaner can now be plugged
in again and switched on. The THOMAS VAPORO Buggy
is ready for use as soon as the heating pilot lamp lights up.

4.4 Ending operation and storage

Switch off the appliance. The orange operating pilot
lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun
to release the remaining pressure. Secure the steam gun
by pushing the locking pin on the left-hand side of the
handle in to the right. Remove the mains plug from the
socket and allow the appliance to cool down. Empty
the water tank so that deposits are not able to settle.
Do not close the water tank until it has dried out com-
pletely. The steam cleaner must have cooled down com-
pletely before being put away. Store the appliance so
that it is out of the reach of children. The extension tube
with assembled floor nozzle able can be inserted in the
parking holder on the back of the appliance for storage
purposes or for short breaks whilst working.
The connection cable can be wound around the two
hooks on the extension tube (Fig.9). If the two hooks are
facing the same direction, the hook with the arrows is
turned around.

5. General

5.1 Cleaning and maintenance

Warning: Always ensure before cleaning
or maintaining the steam cleaner that
it is switched off and unplugged from
the mains.
Only clean the appliance by wiping over the housing
with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not use any cleaning
agents, abrasives or alcohol since they may damage
the housing.
We recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 filling
operations at the latest if your water hardness is above
1.8 mmol/l (10°dH). Information regarding local water
hardness may be obtained from your water or utility
company. We recommend filling the water tank with
water and giving it a good shake to clean it. This will
loosen any limescale that has been deposited on the bot-
tom of the steam cleaner. Then pour out the water and
allow the tank to dry out completely before closing it.
The water tank should be treated with limescale remover
approx. every 6 months to prolong the steam cleaner's life.
Place one or at most two limescale removal sticks in 1 litre
of warm water (50°C) and fill the water tank with it. Allow
the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes and then pour
away the water with the dissolved solids. Repeat this pro-
cess if necessary and then rinse out the tank with water.
5.2 Disposing of electrical
and electronic appliances
At the end of its service life the appliance
must be disposed of in accordance with the
applicable legislation. It is not part of the
municipal waste.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates
that this product may not be treated as normal house-
hold waste but must be taken to a collection point for
the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
