cloth beyond the stain to collect the dirt that has
been "blown" away by the steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to level mini-
mum.
10.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMI-
DIFYING ROOMS
To care for your house plants, remove the du-
st from the leaves using the steam. Steam the
surface directly from the handle, at a mini-
mum distance of 50 cm, adjust the steam to
the minimum level.
Plants breathe better and will be cleaner and
brighter. Furthermore, you can also use the
steam to refresh spaces, especially those fre-
quented by smokers.
11. OUT OF WATER
When the product no longer dispenses steam,
it means that there is no water in the boiler.
WARNING: Never fill the boiler as soon as the
safety cap is opened. The boiler is still hot,
even if the appliance is unplugged. On con-
tact with the hot, empty boiler, cold water will
evaporate producing a spray of steam which
could cause burns. Only fill the boiler when it
is cold and always keep your face away from
the boiler opening when filling.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
To continue with use, proceed as follows:
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Press the steam trigger on the handle until
the steam flow stops.
• Wait 10 minutes and remove the safety cap,
unscrewing it without force.
• Leave the appliance to cool for at least 10
minutes.
• Filling the boiler as indicated on chapter 1.
• Carefully screw the safety cap back on,
checking that it is completely closed.
WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap
spins freely or if steam is escaping, immedia-
tely stop the operation, ensuring that the
boiler is switched off and the power cable is
unplugged from the mains. Wait for the ap-
pliance to cool (two hour) and unscrew the
cap before removal. TAKE CARE OF YOUR
FACE !!!
12. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To clean the outside of the appliance, only use
a damp cloth and tap water. All accessories
can be cleaned using running water, ensuring
they are completely dry before the next use.
After using the brushes, we recommend let-
ting the bristles cool down in their natural po-
sition, in order to avoid any deformation.
Do not use detergents of any type.
Every 2 months, rinse the boiler with tap wa-
ter.

ces with boiler for ironing and steam cleaning.
