To obtain steam from the stain remover gun, press button (U). The powerful jet of steam
produced can be used effectively as follows, as a function of the type and size of stain.
• If operating on a SUPERFICIAL STAIN, you must direct the
jet of steam to skim the fabric in proximity of the stain in
order to project the dirt with the pressure against a cloth
used to collect it (fig. 9).
• If operating on a DEEP STAIN, you must turn the item
inside out and act on the fabric from the inside. After rest-
ing it on a sponge, direct the jet of steam onto the stain
so that the desolved dirt may exit from the opposite side
of the fabric and be absorbed by the sponge (fig. 10).
• When dealing with coloured items, it is advisable to test the colour resistance on a part
of non visible material.
• Use moderately with silk items and acetate based fibres.
• Simple methods are often the most effective: a shot of steam is sufficient to eliminate
even the most resistant stains.
• To avoid rings forming around the stain, it is advisable to initially direct the jet of steam
onto the borders of the stain gradually moving towards the centre of the stain thereafter.
• Ensure that the stain has been completely removed from the fabric before ironing it,
as the iron's heat fixes the stain permanently.
• To obtain an even better result, it is advisable to perform the cleaning operations on
an ironing table equipped with a suction board.
• DO NOT use the steam on blood stains as blood coagulates with heat thus fixing the
stain permanently.
• Should the stain persist, do not dry the item before acting a second time. Should the
stain persist even after the second attempt, it is advisable to contact a qualified dry
cleaning centre.
• A summary table accurately classifying the types of stains in relation to the appropri-
ate cleaning method advisable has been compiled.
