Assembling the AppliAnce

Assemble the motor body to the steam head (Fig. 2). Tighten the screw supplied to lock the components (Fig. 3).

instructions For use
Totally unwind the power cord by releasing it from apposite cord storage hooks (E). Remove the water tank (G) by slightly
pressing it downwards, then tilt and remove it (Fig. 6). Turn the tank upside-down and remove the cap (Fig. 7). Fill the tank
up to the MAX mark using the supplied measuring cup (N) - Fig. 8. Screw the cap back on without using too much force.
Warning!
NEVER fill the tank beyond the MAX level. If the tap water is particularly hard (higher than 20°f), use a mixture of
50% tap water and 50% demineralised water.
Insert the tank (G) by slightly pressing it downwards and at the same time pushing it inwards. Do not force the pin on the
upper side of the tank during its removal/insertion.
Warning!
Make sure the tank is filled enough to avoid dry running.
To protect the floor from high temperatures, it is advisable to allow the appliance to warm up/cool down on the carpet
cleaning attachment.
Before use, make sure objects and surfaces to be treated are resistant or compatible with the high temperature of
steam. In case of treated terracotta floors and wooden surfaces, refer to the manufacturer's instructions and test the
appliance first on a concealed area of the floor or a sample.
If the appliance is left standing on the floor whilst in use, a whitish ring may form. Not to worry, as this can be re-
moved with a normal decalcification agent or with some drops of vinegar.
