carefully into the steam cleaner using the Funnel (14)

Notes:
• Never add additives to the water used in the steam cleaner. It should be filled
with clean water only
• Do not use the water from a condenser tumble dryer which may contain
chemicals
Connecting accessories
• One or both of the Extension Tubes (22) can be used to extend the length of
the Handle Connector (8). The Extension Tubes click into position. Depress the
button then pull apart to separate
NOTE: Only fit the Extension Tubes when extended reach is required
• The Jet Nozzle (15), Small Brush (16), Detail Brush (17) and Squeegee (13) are
push-fit onto the Accessory Connector (19), (Fig.A). The Accessory Connector
attaches to the Handle Connector or Extension Tube. Simply pull apart to remove
• To use the Large Brush (12) attach to the Large Brush Connector (18) by
attaching the large brush at 180° opposite to its normal angle for use, to the
large brush connector. Reverse to detach after use, (Fig B)
• The Large Brush has two clamps for attaching a cloth or small towel. One
Cloth (21) is provided but most general purpose cloths are suitable to replace
the supplied cloth. Always use a cloth if you wish to protect a surface from
scratches or not have steam directly contact the surface being cleaned
Accessories Storage
The Accessories Compartment (1) allows storage of all the accessories except the
Large Brush (12) and Extension Tubes (22). When transporting it is handy to attach
both Extension tubes and the Large Brush to the Handle Connector and store all
other accessories in the Accessories Compartment so the complete system can
be transported as one unit. Use the Carrying Handle (6) when transporting the
steam cleaner.
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing
protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Using Your Steam Cleaner
Notes
• Always ensure that the materials or surfaces to be cleaned are suitable for the
steam cleaner
• Follow the instructions in this manual regarding cleaning of materials
• If no information is available, always do a test on an inconspicuous area of the
material. Should any damage appear, do not use the steam cleaner
• Always use the correct accessories for the material and area to be cleaned
• Always use a cloth with the Large Brush (12) if you need to protect a surface
from scratches
• On vertical surfaces, work from the top down. Put a cloth at the base to collect
any spillage or dirt
• Use the Extension Tubes (22) only when necessary
• Spray the steam onto small areas at a time; concentrated action dissolves
grime more easily
• If dirt or grime proves difficult to remove, treat the surface directly with steam
jet
• To remove stains from upholstered furniture or carpets, spray the steam on the
stain then gently run the Large Brush (12) over the surface without exerting
any pressure. Allow the surface to dry. If the result is not satisfactory, repeat
the procedure
• On delicate surfaces, such as wood surfaces, spray with a small quantity of
steam and dry immediately or apply steam to a cloth and clean the surface
with the cloth
• Clean carpets with a vacuum cleaner before using the steam cleaner
Note: The steam jet cannot remove lime deposits
Switching on and off
WARNING: Never leave the steam cleaner unattended when switched on
1. With the water tank full, the Pressurised Tank Cap (5) fully tightened and the
required accessories attached, connect the steam cleaner's mains plug to a
mains socket
2. Switch the steam cleaner on by depressing the On/Off Switch (2). The Power
Indicator (3) and Heating Indicator (4) should now illuminate
3. After approximately 7 minutes the Heating Indicator will turn off, the steam
cleaner is now ready for use

Switch (10)
