sentative or by similar qualified personnel in order to avoid any danger. Please respect

properly fixed or missing, or when the safety devices or any other parts are not func-
tioning in the correct way.
zDo not carry out any modifications to the appliance or to the cable. Consult an expert
to repair the appliance.
zThere is a risk of injury due to glass breakage and scattering of shards in the event of

care and at a certain distance, and heat the steam gradually.
zArrange the cable so that no-one can trip over it.

zOnly use water to fill the tank, do not add any alcohol, vinegar, descaler, detergent or
any other products.
zThe surface to be cleaned should be solid, resistant to any abrasions and sturdy if you
intend to use the brushes.
Symbols printed on the appliance
Risk of burns by steam. Protect your hands and other parts of the body which
may be affected.
Steam cleaning - what you need to know
General information
zThe cleaning effect depends on the temperature, pressure and amount of steam. Like-
wise, the distance between the steam jet and the surface play an essential role.
However, there are certain surfaces and materials which are unsuitable for steam clean-
ing, for these please refer to the following chapter.
zFirst of all select a greater distance to spray the object of the steam jet. Then try out
the steam in a small area in a less visible place. This will enable you to verify how the
surface reacts to treatment with hot steam.
zAlways follow the manufacturer's instructions relative to the maintenance of a given
surface.
z1 litre of water produces about 1500 litres of steam, which enables you to clean a
surface of approximately 120 m2.
zThe steam helps to dissolve the dirt. It is then necessary to dry the surfaces with a cloth
- the special duster used for accessories or any other suitable cloth.
zThe steam dissolves embedded dirt without any chemicals. It is not necessary to add
any detergents.
zThere is no risk of allergy to detergents because the steam cleaner only uses steam
from hot water.
zThe hot steam enables cleaning of places which are not normally accessible to cloths
and brushes. Take advantage of the numerous options offered by the accessories.
