5. OPERATION
▲CAUTION: If the ller cap is opened too quickly, without taking the necessary precautions, there is a very high risk of injury. The metal
parts can be extremely hot; avoid contact with the skin. Risk of burns.
NOTE: The ller cap will not unscrew if the tank is pressurised.
5.1. FILLING
WARNING! Before lling/relling turn off and remove from mains supply. Always allow to cool for 10 minutes before adding water.
5.1.1. Ensure there is no more steam by unlocking the steam trigger in the ON position.
5.1.2. Remove the ller cap by turning counter clockwise.
5.1.3. Fill the water tank using the funnel and measuring cup provided. The maximum capacity of the tank is 2L. Tip: DO NOT overll the
tank.
5.1.4. Replace the ller cap by turning clockwise until a good seal is achieved.
5.2. HANDLE OPERATION
5.3. RELEASING STEAM
5.4. AFTER USE
Lock the steam trigger in the OFF position (A) to prevent accidental operation.
5.5. OPERATION Refer to Contents section above
5.5.1. Make sure the Steamer is unplugged and the switch in the OFF position.
5.5.2. Unscrew the tank ller cap by turning counter clockwise.
5.5.3. Using the measuring cup and the funnel, ll the Steamer with 1.8L of water. (This will produce about 35 minutes of steam.)
5.5.4. Replace the ller cap by screwing it clockwise.
5.5.5. Attach the extension tubes to the steam handle to use the steam mop or attach chosen accessory.
5.5.6. Connect the appliance to the mains supply and press the switch to the ON position.
5.5.7. Two lights come on. The indicator light comes on to indicate that the power is turned on. The orange steam light comes on to
indicate a rise in steam pressure in the appliance.
5.5.8. The appliance is ready for use when the orange steam indicator light goes out and the pressure reaches between 4 and 5 bar
depending on the water level in the tank (red zone of the steam pressure gauge).
5.5.9. During use, the orange steam indicator light may turn on again. This indicates that the steam pressure may not be high enough.
In this case, release the steam trigger for a few moments. When the orange steam indicator light goes off again, can resume
using steam.
5.5.10. If the pressure drops below 2 bar, the steam ow may not be sufcient depending on the accessory used. In this case, release
the steam trigger and wait until the steam pressure gauge reaches the red zone again.
5.5.11. When activating the steam trigger, water may appear. This is quite normal because at the beginning, the steam takes a little time to
arrive and the water condenses in the hose and the extension tubes.
5.5.12. After a few moments the water will turn into steam.
5.5.13. When activating the steam trigger, a lot of water can ow. This may be due to a residue of steam from the previous use that has
turned into water. Empty this water by operating the steam trigger over a bucket or sink. Once this water has passed, you can use
your device normally again.
5.5.14. When using the accessories, the surface you are cleaning may be wet. This is due to the steam that turns into water in contact
with this surface. Use a sponge or cloth to wipe this surface.
TRIGGER LOCK

7.1.6. Rinse well with water.
7.1.7. Replace the tank filler cap and store in a safe and dry place.
8. QUESTIONS
8.1. WHY DOES WATER COME OUT OF THE NOZZLE?
Steamer generates a large amount of steam that can condense in water in the hose and extension tubes after a period of no use or
cooling of the unit. Empty this water by operating the steam trigger over a bucket or sink. Once this water has drained, use the device
normally.
8.2. NO STEAM IS COMING OUT?
Check that the hose is not bent. Make sure that the water tank is not empty.
8.3. I CANNOT REMOVE THE FILL CAP?
Make sure the Steamer is completely de-pressurized. The ller cap is designed so that it can not be removed while the unit is still
under pressure. To do this, empty all residual pressure from the tank by pressing the steam trigger. The steam trigger can be
unlocked by engaging the steam trigger lock latch in the ON position. Once the pressure is discharged from the tank, the ller cap
of the tank can be opened.
8.4. THE STEAM FLOW IS IRREGULAR, THE APPLIANCE “COUGHS”.
Slight blockage caused by soil or other foreign matter that can prevent the ow of steam from arriving continuously. Clean the water
tank as shown in Section 7.1.
8.5. I SEE THE CONDENSED WATER ON THE GAUGE OF THE STEAM PRESSURE GAUGE?
Any condensation that may appear will disappear in a short period of time. No action is necessary.
8.6. CAN I USE BOILED WATER FROM MY KETTLE?
No. Boiled water concentrates the minerals that form the scale. Never use pre-boiled water in the Steamer.
8.7. CAN I LEAVE WATER IN THE STEAMER?
No. Water left in the water tank for a prolonged period may deteriorate the components of Steamer and deposit scale.Never leave
water in the Steamer; always empty it after use. If the tap water used is very hard, it is recommended to use distilled water to prolong
the service life and increase the performance of Steamer.
8.8. ROTATING BRUSH
The inner part will rotate due to the high steam pressure applied. Push the rotating brush pipe on the extension tube until the knob ts
correctly in the oval opening of the rotating brush pipe.Use the rotating brush to clean all kind off surfaces with a gentle push and move
the brush in the required direction. The rotating part will clean the surface.
WARNING! DO NOT use the brush towards your face or other parts of the body. Hot steam is coming out!
