Preface
Thank you for purchasing the i-gum®chewing gum remover: the powerful easy to use tool that can
eliminate your sticky problems in a matter of seconds. Removing patches of chewing gum has never
been easier. The i-gum®requires no dangerous chemicals, instead it uses a specialized water-based
gum remover solution in the form of steam to break down the chewing gum. The gum remover
solution is environmentally friendly, and it leaves no stains or residue. The cleaning does not require
scrubbing, just a light agitation in a circular motion is all it needs. The chewing gum breaks down and
dissolves away after 6 to 10 seconds. This makes the i-gum®chewing gum remover fast, safe, green
and clean.
The i-gum®is easy to use when you follow the instructions. Please read the user manual carefully.
Become familiar with the correct operation and maintenance procedures. Store the manual in a safe
place. The manual is an essential part of the i-gum®and must be handed over to the new owner upon
resale or exchange. Each i-gum®has a unique identification number that can be found on top of the
main body. Your i-team partner needs this number when you order parts.
When this manual refers to “the manufacturer” this means: Future Cleaning Technologies B.V., an
affiliate company of i-team in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. When this manual mentions “the partner”
your local i-team resell and support service partner is referred to.
