Technical data: Mains supply: 230V-50Hz, Power: 1500W, Tank capacity:
1.5 litres.
Using for the first time
Make sure the machine is unplugged from the mains.
Unscrew the safety cap (2) by pushing down and turning anti clockwise.
Using the measuring jug and funnel (15) fill the machine with up to 1500ml
of water. This should be sufficient to steam clean for approximately one
hour.
Once full, replace the safety cap by turning clockwise and fasten tightly.
Attach the accessory or floor cleaning tool you require to the machine.
Now plug the machine into the mains and switch on. Two lights should
illuminate. The red light (5) is a power indicator. The orange light (6)
indicates that the machine is building up steam pressure. When the
machine is first turned on this light will illuminate and the machine can take
up to 12 minutes to reach the correct pressure level depending on the
amount of water in the tank.
Once the orange light has gone out the machine is ready to use. The
orange light may come back on when the machine is in use. If this
happens, release the safety trigger and allow the steam pressure to build
up once again. This should take no longer than 40 seconds. If the safety
trigger is pressed when the orange light is on hot water may come out of
the machine.
Refilling the water tank
Switch the machine off using the on/off button (4)
Disconnect the power cable from the mains. Wait five minutes before
squeezing the safety trigger to make sure that the machine is no longer
under pressure before unscrewing the safety cap. DO NOT unscrew the
safety cap until the steam has stopped.
Fill the water tank as necessary using the funnel provided.
DO NOT exceed 1500ml of water before replacing the safety cap by
turning clockwise. Fasten cap tightly.

You are now ready to switch the machine on and resume steam cleaning.
If you live in a hard water area, it is best to use distilled water (this
prevents internal limescale that may damage the steam system).
Warning - risk of injury!
Warning! This cap gets hot in use; handle with care.
Cleaningfloors
Attach the floor brush to the extension wands, which snap together. Then
attach the extension wand to the steam gun. Do ensure the extension wands
are firmly connected. Before cleaning always remove any dust from the
surface you wish to clean. To release the extension wands press the button on
the hose connection.
Cleaning floors and carpets with the cleaning cloth
While the machine is switched off attach the cleaning cloth to the floor brush
via the spring loaded clips, make sure the edges of the cleaning cloth are
secure. DO NOT attempt to do this while the machine is still hot. Never remove
the cleaning cloth whilst the safety trigger is released or the machine is warm
to the touch.
Fitting the accessories
The accessories may be fitted to the steam gun (9) using one or both adaptors
16a and 16b. When using the round brushes or high-pressure nozzle,
Squeegee head, adaptors 16a and 16b are both required.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance operations should be carried out with the appliance
disconnected from the power supply.
The machine should be allowed to completely cool down before it is stored
away or cleaned.
Clean the machine and its accessories with a slightly damp cloth only. Never
use a cleaning product or detergent. To ensure that your machine operates
correctly over a long period, rinse out the water tank once a month to remove

lime-scale deposits. Never use vinegar or a lime-scale remover.
Switching on the appliance
Before switching on the appliance, check that the mains voltage that you want
to use
is suitable for the appliance. The information you need for this is shown on the
identification plate. (230V~50Hz).
How to operate the steam gun
First: Know your steam gun
You will find the Steam trigger and Red Safety button on the steam gun.
You will see that Red safety button says off/lock on. (See photo 1).
Second: Operation
a) Steam - spray out
First press the Red Safety button to “ON” position, after that press the steam
trigger. You only need to press the steam trigger when you want to clean. See
photo (No.2)
b) Steam - continuous spray out
Press the steam trigger, and then press the red safety button to “Off/Lock”
position. This means that you don’t need to keep pressing the trigger. The
steam will continuously spray out. (See photo (No.3+4).
c) Close
After cleaning you need to close the steam gun. If you are cleaning as on the
Pic 4 situation and you want to stop cleaning, you only need to press the red
safety button to the “ON” position, the steam trigger will release. After that,
press the red safety button to “off/lock” position. That means no matter how
many times you press the steam trigger, no steam will come out. (See photo
from 5-1).

Accessories
The accessories provided allow you to use the power of steam to blast away
grease, grime, mildew, scum, kill dust mites, fleas and harmful germs, all with
minimum effort, from difficult to reach places - all without the use of chemicals.
Cleaning Cloth (15)
The cleaning cloth is machine washable and easily fits to the floor brush via
spring loaded clips. The cloth is designed to lift, trap and absorb dirt from
sensitive cleaning surfaces, leaving surfaces clean and sanitised.
Floor Brush (14)
The floor brush fits together using the Floor angled detail tool.
Use with the extension wands for floor and carpet cleaning. It has spring
loaded clips to hold the cleaning cloth. Its brush bristles loosen dirt and open
fibres for the steam to penetrate.
Extension wands (13)
Two extension wands allow you to select various lengths for comfortable
operation, reducing the need to bend while enabling you to reach high places.
The wand and accessories snap-lock into place for leak free operation.
Round Brushes (17)
Essential for cleaning small hard to reach areas. Use on tile grout, grates, grills
and bathroom fittings. These small round brushes fit on the end of the steam
gun (9), using both 16a and 16b adaptors.

Squeegee (19)
Use on mirrors, windows or other smooth surfaces. Steam loosens the surface
dirt and the rubber blade of the squeegee scrapes it clean. Attaches directly to
the steam gun using both 16a and 16b adaptors.
High Pressure Nozzle (18)
Allows for concentrated high pressure steam flow. Connects directly to the
steam gun using both 16a and 16b adaptors.
Water Funnel and Measuring Jug (15)
Use the measuring jug to ensure you fill the machine with the correct amounts
of water. The funnel ensures no mess when filling the tank!
WARNING!
Please read carefully. Important safety instructions!
DO NOT switch this machine on or attempt to use it without water in the tank.
NEVER operate without the safety cap screwed tightly in place.
Read the attached safety instructions carefully before proceeding.

CAUTION!
Cleaning Fabrics:
A number of materials and fabrics are NOT suitable for cleaning by steam for
example: Do not use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic
fabrics, velvet or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
Cleaning Glass/Mirrors:
Thermal shock can also shatter glass. Before cleaning glass surfaces,
carefully warm the surface by directing the steam jet on the glass from a
distance of no less than 6" or 15cm.
We recommend:
You test in a hidden area before cleaning for colour fastness and fabric
sensitivity. If colour or appearance is affected DO NOT proceed to steam
clean.
Help section
Water comes out of the nozzle
The Steam Cleaner develops a massive amount of steam. This may condense
as water or water droplets in the steam hose and tools and nozzle, which are
then expelled when used after a period of cooling. This is normal and not a
cause for concern.
No steam comes out
Check if the hose has become kinked or blocked, or that you have run out of
water or power!
I can't get the pressure cap off
Make sure that you have fully de-pressurized the boiler. See the section
REFILLING WITH WATER IN USE.
Steam flow is erratic; sometimes it works really well, sometimes not so
good
If you have not used pure water, you may have a small blockage inside your
Steam Cleaner.
I have hard-water and used boiled water from the kettle, or water that I
left in the boiler, now my Steam Cleaner doesn't work well at all.
Actually, you have made matters worse because boiled water concentrates the
minerals that form lime scale rather than boiling them away. Water left in the
boiler will go off and may create a reaction with the boiler and/or the steam
hose. So,
ALWAYS empty the machine after use and NEVER use boiled water.
