7.1 Using the appliance as a vacuum cleaner
7 OPERATION
7.2 Vacuuming with water filter
To select the suction power (from level 1 to level 4), press the remote
suction button (27) on the handgrip (23) at short intervals; the
selected suction power level LED indicator (28) will light up.(Pictures
12-13)
It is possible to change the power level both when the suction is on
and off.
To switch the vacuum onand off, hold down theremote suction but-
ton (27) for about two seconds. If the quick connector (24) is pulled
out, the suction power level will restart from level 1 the next time the
appliance is used.
CAUTION! Never vacuum if the microfibre filter (P) is not installed.
For best filtration results, add water to themachine tank (M). The
water filtration allows you to “capture”the dirt so that the outbound air
always remains clean and therefore you clean more effectively.
Proceed as in chapter “6.1 Preparing the vacuum cleaner”then
replace the microfibre filter (P) with the sponge filter (Q) (chapter “6.3
Replacing the filter”) (picture 14). Add one litre of normal tap water to
the tank until you reach the MAX level shown on the tank (picture 15).
CAUTION! Do not put detergents or inflammable substances in the
tank. Never vacuum if the sponge filter (Q) is not installed.
You can add Aroma to the machine tank. This prevents bad odours or
smell from the tank. Use the product according to the instructions for
use shown on the label.

7.3 Using the appliance as a steam cleaner
Please refer to the chapter “6.2 Starting up the boiler”before use.
Press the main switch (D) and the boiler switch (E), the respective
pilot lights (H) and (I) will come on. Water will start heating up and
steam will then be produced (picture 16). Pre-select the amount of
steam using the knob (J) located on the appliance.
The gauge (K) indicates the pressure inside the boiler: the
grey/silver area indicates the ideal pressure for use (picture 17).
When the pilot light (F) comes on, the appliance will be ready to
function with steam. Now press the lever (26) on the handgrip (23).
The first amount of steam will come out with water condensation;
direct the jet to one side or onto a cloth.
The handgrip (23) has a safety lock (23) which prevents steam from
accidentally escaping:
left lock: the lever is free right lock: the lever is locked
Note: To obtain the correct volume of steam, wait 3-4 minutes for
the water to heat up.
7.4 Using steam and suction simultaneously
Please refer to the chapter “6.2 Starting up the boiler”before use. To
steam and vacuum simultaneously: it is possible to use the above-
mentioned steam-cleaning functions together.
When work is finished, release the steam lever (26) a few moments
prior to switching off the suction motor (button 27). This will allow the
suction ducts to recover the humidity.
Note: Whilst you are working, it is normal to occasionally hear the
pump as it pumps in the water. Be careful not to confuse this noise
with audible warning signal (beep) made when the boiler water tank
is empty.

deposits and material of considerable size. The curved pieces
located at the ends can be removed for easy cleaning. Check and
wash with running water. Reinstall the curves by applying pressure
to fastened them to the special rib and housing
• Sponge filter (Q): The Sponge filter (Q) is to be used for
vacuuming dust, vapour and liquids with the water filter for more
thorough cleaning. Wash with running water from the inside out and
let itdry before putting back the filter assembly (picture 34)
(picture 32)
picture 32
• Microfibre filter (P): This filter has a high filteringcapacity and
allows you to vacuum up dust effectively. It is convenient function for
quick job as the dust remaining in the machine tank (M) is not in
contact with the water and therefore does not need to be rinsed out
immediately after use. To remove it, wash from the inside out under
running water then leave it to dry before reassembling the filter group
(picture 33)
IMPORTANT: The microfibre filter (P) should not be used during the
vacuuming with water filter.
•
Air filter (X): this filter has a high filtering capacity and can filter
fine dust, thereby ensuring clean air coming out of the appliance.
Check it periodically by lifting the hooker lever (picture 35)
• Carbon filter (Y): this filter has a high filtering capacity for
carbon dust which blocks the motor. Check it monthly by removing
the containment screen and, if necessary, replace it when dirty
CAUTION! Handle with care - Do not inhale - Keep out of reach of children
• Water filter employs the natural purifying strength of tap water to
catch the dirt, avoiding irritating contact with dust and harmful
dispersion of dust into the environment
