INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing FORTADOR PRO+ industrial steam cleaner.
The FORTADOR brand is an eect of our long-standing experience and a response to our
Customers’ needs. The technology conned in the state-of-the-art housing provides for higher
power and performance as well as lower failure rate than ever before.
The solutions used, which only occur in FORTADOR steam cleaner, make it possible to make the
machine operation easier and faster. The possibility to feed two dierent detergents at the
same time is a solution that has never been used so far. The 7-inch touch display keeps the user
inform on the status of uids (water, fuel, detergents) inside the machine, and on the running
pressure of the boiler.
The heart of the machine is its boiler and burner assembly supplied by the world-renowned
manufacturer, Lamborghini Caloreclima. The highest quality of the combustion system and low
Diesel oil consumption provide for even faster return on investment. Additional 16.6 - 36.6
kW power regulation has made it possible for us to achieve working pressure in the range of
12 - 16 bar.

CLEANING
Holding the gun in both hands, press the trigger. Note: high
pressure results in gun recoil when its trigger is pressed. Be
careful! Work using both hands. Pull the hose, do not pull
the gun! Do not pull the gun by the hose!
While moving from one area to another, never pull the gun,
as this may lead to the connection of the hose with the gun
or the gun itself getting damaged.
Direct the steam jet towards the surface being cleaned,
making sure to keep a safe distance of 10 cm between the
gun nozzle and the surface being cleaned.
In case of heavy soiling, use the “wet steam” function
that is activated using the orange arrow marked button.
Steam being fed using the cleaning gun will additionally
contain water mist.

Start washing, making sure to move your washing gun only
from top to bottom (for a vertical surface) or towards you
(for a horizontal surface), dispensing the detergent all the
time to provide for best washing eects.
While washing, your vacuum cleaner should be kept switched
on all the time, so that it can draw in the condensed steam
from the surface being washed.
Upon completion of washing, empty your vacuum cleaner
container, disconnect the hose from the machine, and
proceed as in the “Switch-O Procedure” Section.
The volume of steam being dispensed using the washing gun
can be adjusted by means of the valve placed under the HOT
cover near the safety valve. In its vertical position, the valve
is completely open, and then the volume of steam being
dispensed is the highest. In its horizontal position, the valve
is completely closed, and then the steam is not dispensed
at all. Intermediary positions in between extreme positions
mean that the valve is partially open.
