DESCRIPTION
The product is indicated for removing anything ranging from simple dirt and grease all the way
to organic material. It uses different levels of moisture in the steam to effectively respond to
different requirements or detergents in very low dosage.
This machine is a steam generator designed only for the following functions:
Cleaning with steam
Cleaning with steam plus added moisture
Cleaning with steam plus compatible detergents
Cleaning with the above options plus vacuum (optional)
ATTENTION! The vacuum function is to be used exclusively as a means of removing
solids and liquids that are a result of the steam cleaning activity. Do not use the
vacuum for general vacuum cleaning!

MACHINE START :
Steam only function :
Connect the machine to the electrical mains.
Turn the mains switch 1 (Pic. 1) to the ON position.
LED 2.8 goes on to signal that the machine receives voltage.
Remove the water tank cover 9.1 (Pic. 4) and fill the tank 9 with plain tap water until
the
LED 9.2 lights up, this is possible only if the machine is turned on, or you see that the
tank is full. Close the water tank.
Push the boiler ON button 2.4 (Pic. 2) and the pump starts filling the boiler. LED 2.6
lights up. Filling is automatically performed when requested by the water level sensor
inside the boiler.
When the pump stops, LED 2.6 (Pic. 2) goes out and the heating phase begins, lasting
approx. 5 minutes. During the heating phase, LED 2.5 will continue to blink.
When LED 2.5 (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 on).
Insert the hose into the hose connection socket 7, ensuring that it is securely fitted.
Fasten accessories to lances by firmly pushing them on to the tip (nozzle) 10.2 (Pic. 5).
Pull the trigger 10 (pic. 5) on the hand-grip to start steam output and direct the steam
jet towards the area to be cleaned.
Regulate steam output by turning the manual output regulator 3.2 +/- (Pic. 3) to the
desired output quantity.
CAUTION
Before beginning steam cleaning operations, evacuate the condensation left inside the steam
hose into a bucket or other suitable place.
Always wear gloves and protective glasses when working! Ear protection is recommended!
WARNING! In case of danger, injury of the operator, leakage of steam or
anything that makes it difficult to regularly turn the machine off, immediately hit
the Emergency OFF Button 5 (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 chapter “Troubleshooting”..
Wet steam or detergent :
To optimize the cleaning action of the steam, water from the internal tank 9 or detergent from
one of the external canisters can be injected into the steam.
Enable the wet steam feature by pressing the blue button 3.1 (Pic. 3) and then choose
the level required with the +/- buttons 3.2. Levels 1 & 2 are indicated for most jobs in
which dry saturated steam is to dry, making cleaning slower than necessary. Levels 3 &
4 allow for a strong rinsing action of the steam but the steam temperature still stays
above 120°C at the lances tip.
Now enable switch 10.1 (Pic. 5) on the top of the hand-grip to activate the injection of
water into the steam while also pulling the steam trigger. The water pump will run only
while pulling the trigger.

9
To use the detergent feature press the yellow button 3.3 (pic. 3). First fill one or both of
the external canister on top of the machine with 5 liters of water and detergent and
make sure that the transparent hose is connected properly to the chassis. You have 2
canisters available which you can fill as required for a total of 10lt.
Choose the desired level of detergent required with +/- buttons 3.2 and if necessary do
tests to find the best level of detergent to inject.
Again, enable switch 10.1 (Pic. 5) on the top of the hand-grip to activate the injection of
detergent into the steam while also pulling the steam trigger. The detergent pump will
run only while pulling the trigger.
Priming the detergent pump: if the detergent canister runs empty the pump may take a
while to suck up the detergent and purge the air in the hose. Observe the transparent
hoses on the canister for visual feedback.
ATTENTION! Remnants of detergent in the transparent hose or pump can cause blockage and
or damage the pump, please flush the detergent circuit when not used regularly.
WARNING! This machine has been designed for use with non-foaming
and noncorrosive detergent. Use of foaming and/or corrosive detergent
will damage the machine! You are advised to use only the detergent
specified by the manufacturer.
Water refill :
When the water in the tank finishes, the machine emits an acoustic signal and LED 2.7 (Pic. 2),
signaling “water tank low” lights up along with 9.2 (Pic. 4). After a little more time the steam
outlet is blocked until the tank is refilled.
Perform the following operations:
Press button 2.4 (Pic. 2) to turn off the boiler.
Open the plug 9.1 (Pic. 5) and refill the tank with clean tab water. Close tank.
Press button 2.4 and the pump will start filling up the boiler, LED 2.6and 2.5blink.
Since the boiler is already under pressure, LED 2.5 light up steady after a few seconds
and the machine is ready to resume work.
Continuous water refill
The internal water tank can be refilled with water automatically and continuously. Connect the
machine to a water hose by using the supplied 3/4” BSP quick release connector. Fasten the
male part to the water inlet at the rear of the machine, fasten the female to the hose and then
connect both.
Open the water from the tap.
Push the green button 5 (Pic. 1).
The tank will now fill itself. Sensors ensure the correct water level.

10
ATTENTION! Pressure of water supply for the continuous refill must not be greater than 16
Bar
or less than 0,1 Bar.
WARNING! Never push the green button if the machine is not connected to the
water hose. This would cause water to flow out of the tank and onto the floor.
When done working, turn the green button 5 OFF and disconnect the water hose.
