MACHINE OPERATION
1ST STEP: LOWER DRUM FILLING
• Unhook the closing devices (fig.1);
• Lift the upper cover (fig.2);
• Fill the lower drum with about 2 litres of clean water (fig.3)
• Reposition the cover by paying attention to the drum level
indicator. It must be is in the front part (fig.4)
IMPORTANT: to avoid motor damages during the
suction check that the liquid contained in the drum
does not exceed the level indicated on the drum
itself (MAX) (fig.4) otherwise we recommend
emptying the drum.
2ND STEP: TANK FILLING
• Remove the plug when the machine is cold and not under
pressure (fig.5), fill the tank with water by using the suitable
bottle supplied through the mouth of the safety plug (fig.6)
then close by screwing and pressing the plug downwards.
• When the water is finished in the tank, the “f” light will light
up and at the same time there will be an acoustic signal; in
this case immediately turn off the boiler by pushing button
“A”, eliminate any pressure residue by pressing the steam
button on the handle (fig.13 page 5).
• At this point disconnect the feeding cable, then eliminate
any pressure residue by slightly unscrewing the safety plug
(BE CAREFUL OF ANY STEAM THAT MAY SPURT OUT)
• Once there is no residue pressure, wait 5/10 minutes and
repeat from point 1.
WARNING: DO NOT TURN ON THE BOILER IF IT IS
EMPTY, YOU COULD MAY DAMAGE THE RESISTANCE
(NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY). DO NOT TOUCH AND/
OR OPEN THE SAFETY PLUG WHEN THE BOILER IS ON
OR STILL UNDER PRESSURE! DANGER OF BURNS!
3RD FILLING THE DETERGENT TANK
• Remove the plug (fig.7)
• Fill the tank with water or diluted detergent by using the
funnel provided (fig.8) paying attention to the capacity limit
of the tank (any excess water will automatically flow into
the lower drum).
• Put the plug again.
WARNING: Fill the lower drum only with water.
Use detergents approved by the manufacturer
only - non foaming detergents -the use of different
detergents or chemical products may compromise
the apparatus safety.
Do not use fragrances-essential oils different
from the ones approved by the Manufacturer.
They may damage the drum.
Empty and wash the drum after each use.
To clean the drum, use natural soap and rinse
with abundant water.

4TH STEP: TURNING ON
• Connect the supply cable to a 230V plug provided with
earth. On the panel a red light “e” POWER will light up.
• For the vacuum cleaner function: press push button “B” and
ad just the power by means of keys +/-.
• For the steam function: press push button “A”, after about
7 minutes pilot light “d” lights up and the device reaches
the optimum working temperature and pressure. The steam
must be adjusted by means of the knob (fig.9) according to
the surface to be treated.
• For the iron / carpet cleaner function: press push button “C”,
the corresponding pilot light lights up.
• Detergent: this function allows different surfaces to be cold
washed, executing good dirt removal. It is recommended
especially for cleaning rugs/carpets/cushions. It can also be
used as a prewash before using the steam. Normal water
may be used or, if necessary, specific detergent diluted at
2-10% in water.
Start the detergent function by pressing push button G, the
corresponding light will light up. When the detergent in
the tank is finished the “Detergent” light will flash and the
detergent emission will also stop; in this case refill the rear
tank.
NOTE: the “Detergent” function and the steam function are
independent: on starting the detergent the steam emission will
automatically stop; to reinstate it just press push button G. The
“Detergent” can also be used when the boiler is off.

5TH STEP: HOSE CONNECTION
• To connect the hose, move upwards the door covering the
plug (fig.10), insert the plug and close the door by making
sure the pawl is into its proper seat.
6TH STEP: ACCESSORY STARTING
• All the accessories carry out the double function of suction
and steam. They fit in directly on the handle or on the
extensions.
• Move the ring nut to open position and keep it open (fig.11).
• Fit in the extension hose or the accessory (fig.12).
• Move the ring nut to close position. Release the spring wheel
for the hose extension.
• Press the button located on the start handle once and then
once again to stop suction (fig.13).
• To regulate the suction motor power, keep the button
pressed down during use (fig.13); every 4 seconds the power
will increase until it reaches maximum power (lev. 5) and
then it will restart from the minimum power (lev. 3). Once it
has reached the desired power, take pressure off the button;
the chosen power will be memorised.
• Keep the button under the handle pressed for steam and
then take pressure off it to stop (fig.14). The same button
will start the “Detergent”.
WARNING: DO NOT USE STEAM ON ELECTRIC
FIXTURES WHICH ARE ON OR ENERGIZED!

only water into the detergent tank and emptying it once or twice.
MOTOR SUPPORT (D)
It is located under the upper cover. For the cleaning at first we
recommend disconnecting the device. Use only a wet cloth. Do not
use direct water jets (i.e.: shower, tap, etc.).
THE MACHINE CAN BE TIPPED TO ONE SIDE ONLY FOR
THIS FUNCTION (DO NOT OVERTURN THE MACHINE
FOR ANY REASON!)
FILTER AND SEPARATOR
Once the filter is removed, you can see the “molecular separator”
(A). Both the filter and the separator must be washed separately
with water. To remove them, contact an authorised service centre.
NOTE FOR THE TECHNICIAN AT THE SERVICE CENTRE:
To remove filter (C) remove the safety screw by turning it until it
comes away. To remove separator (a) unscrew knurled screw (B) and
remove from the housing. Be careful on re-inserting it as it has a set
housing. Screw the knurled screw clockwise without tightening it
too much. Do not use the machine if the plastic filter is not inserted
or if it is without the “molecular separator”.
