GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This vapor-steam cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor. The cord must be wired into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

position. The tank will begin to ll; sensors ensure the correct water level. The
internal water tank is relled automatically and continuously.
CAUTION: Never switch ON the Water Feed Switch 4.2. (Pic.1) if the machine is
not connected to a water hose. This would cause water to ow out of the tank and
onto the oor. When done working, turn the Water Feed Switch 4.2. (Pic.1) OFF and
disconnect the water hose.
3. Push the boiler ON button 5.5 (Pic.2), the pump will start lling the boiler and
LED 5.3 (Pic.2) lights up.
4. When the pump stops LED 5.3 (Pic.2) goes out and the heating phase begins,
lasting approximately 5 minutes. During the heating phase, LED 5.4 (Pic.2) will
continue to blink.
5. When LED 5.4 (Pic.2) stops blinking and stays on, the machine is ready for
use. During use this light will often blink to show that the heating elements are
cycling on.
6. Insert the hose into the hose connection socket 1, 2 or 9 (Pic.1) (depending on
the application), ensuring that it is securely tted.
7. Fasten accessories to lances by rmly pushing them on to the tip (nozzle)
3.3 (Pic.3)
8. Pull the trigger 3.1 (Pic.3) on the hand-grip to start the steam output and direct
the steam jet towards the area to be cleaned.
9. Control steam output by selecting the two hose output ‘A-A’ or single hose
output ‘B’ on the steam output selection switch 4.4. (Pic.1).
10. With the output power selection switch 4.3. (Pic.1), change between 36kW and
72kW power output (one hose or both hoses).
NOTE: When knob 4.3. (Pic.1) is in the 36kW position, steam will only be released
from position 1. When knob 4.3. (Pic.1) is in the 72kW, steam will be released from
both 1 and 2 outputs OR the optional hose that connects to port ‘B’, NOT both.
NOTE: Before beginning steam cleaning operations, evacuate the condensation
left inside the steam hose into a bucket or other suitable place.
WARNING: In case of danger, injury of the operator, leakage of steam or anything
that makes it difcult to regularly turn the machine off, immediately hit the
emergency OFF button 3 (Pic.1). The switch will remain in the off position until
manually reset by turning the switch so that it pops back up! Reset ONLY after
having removed the cause of malfunction. See the troubleshooting section!

to ‘OFF’.
•Pull the trigger to relieve the steam
from the hose.
•Turn the steam selector output 4.4. to
position ‘OFF’.
•Turn the boiler steam drain valve 10

MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: Scheduled maintenance should be done every 6 to 12 months or
more often if used very heavily and/or if the water is very hard. Make arrangements
with Goodway for professional maintenance and assistance. Only trained persons
are allowed to perform the below procedure!
The amount of carbonates in the water (chalk, salts and other minerals) determine
the hardness of the water you use with this machine. When water is heated up these
carbonates will “fall out”, that is they will become small particles that in the worst
case can encrust your boiler, the heating element and other components. Please
clean your boiler as described below regularly, more so if you have hard water
from the tap. Do not use completely demineralized or distilled water with your
machine because such water contains no minerals and carbonates and could lead
to malfunction!
DANGER: If any maintenance is going to be done, ALL PRESSURE must be bled
from the boilers before starting any work. (See page 9 for instructions on bleeding
the boiler)
DANGER: Wear protective clothing, gloves and glasses while operating the below
procedure, the hot water can cause injuries!
DANGER: Remove electrical power before servicing per local “Lock out/ tag out”
procedures or the equivalent.
CLEANING THE BOILER:
Perform this task at least every month, but ideally at the end of each working week!
DANGER: Never bleed the boiler as long as any pressure is still inside the boiler!!!
1. Make sure the water inside the boiler is not hot.
2. Gently rock the machine to agitate carbonate deposits in the boiler.
3. Open the drain valve over a gully/drain or a container with a suitable capacity
to catch the water from the boiler.
4. Empty the content of the boiler while gently shaking the machine.
5. Close the drain valve.
