Before first use

Remove the appliance and its accessories from the packaging. Before disposing of the packaging, be sure to remove all components. Check that the appliance and any accessories are not damaged. Wipe the appliance surface and accessories with a slightly damp cloth. Wipe dry.

Principles of steam cleaning

Steam cleaner is suitable for a quick, regular, and effective cleaning of hard surfaces at home without using chemicals. The principle of steam cleaning is based on quick transformation of cold water to hot steam which is pushed out of the steam cleaner through a nozzle. It is so-called dry steam that is formed only from a very small amount of water. Dry steam is suitable for removing dirt and grease, it is gentle to the treated surfaces as the surface only moistens. High temperature steam can kill all bacteria and sterilize the treated surfaces. Thanks to supplied attachments, the steam can penetrate even in hart-to-reach places.

Assembly and using the accessories

Long flexible hose
Screw the flexible hose and tighten firmly. You can use the flexible hose both separately and you can attach the concentrator, round brush, angle nozzle, or brush nozzle to the connector to extend the reach of the attached accessory.

Concentrator
To attach the concentrator, align a white dot on the concentrator with a symbol of open lock on the steam cleaner and turn the concentrator clockwise till the white dot is aligned with a symbol of closed lock. Check the concentrator is correctly attached and it does not move. The concentrator is suitable to remove dirt from hard-to-reach places, from corners, gaps, etc. The close the concentrator is to the treated place, the greater the cleaning efficiency will be because the temperature and steam volume are at their highest at the steam output. The concentrator can be combined with a round brush or angle nozzle to get better results.

Round brush
You can attach the round brush on the steam cleaner connector, flexible hose connector, or concentrator. Always ensure it is firmly attached. The brush is used to remove stubborn dirt. Stubborn dirt can be removed more easily by brushing. Do not clean the sensitive or delicate surfaces by brush. They may be damaged.

Angle nozzle
You can attach the angle nozzle on the steam cleaner connector, flexible hose connector, or concentrator. Always ensure it is firmly attached. The angle nozzle is used to remove dirt from hard-to-reach or narrow places, from corners, etc.

Brush nozzle
To attach the brush nozzle, align a white dot on the nozzle with a symbol of open lock on the steam cleaner and turn the nozzle clockwise till the white dot is aligned with a symbol of closed lock. Check the nozzle is correctly attached and it does not move. The brush nozzle is used to remove dirt and dust from washable surfaces in the bathroom, to clean mirrors, working desk in the kitchen, etc. Attach the cloth on the brush nozzle to remove dirt and dust from sensitive surfaces, e.g., from curtains or furniture, etc.
The cloth is washable so that you can re-use it. Pay attention when removing the cloth from the nozzle after use as the cloth may be very hot.

Window wiper
Attach the window wiper to brush nozzle so that the protrusions at the bottom of the  wiper fit to the openings at the bottom of the nozzle. And then attach the upper part
of the wiper to the nozzle until it clicks. The window wiper is used to wipe steam and water from windows, glass door, or wall tiles.

Warning:
Always make sure the steam cleaner is switched off and unplugged when you attach or remove the accessory. Before removing the accessory, wait at least 5 minutes to cool down. The accessory becomes hot during use. There is a risk of injury or scalding from hot steam or water. Never remove the accessory when the steam cleaner is used.

Filling the water tank

1.  Place the steam cleaner on a flat, dry, and stable surface.
2.  Unscrew the safety cap anti-clockwise.
3.  Insert the funnel in the tank neck and pour clean and cold water inside. The maximum possible volume of the water tank is 250 ml. Use the supplied measuring cup to fill the water tank.
4.  Screw the safety cap clockwise and tighten firmly.

Note:
It is recommended to use distilled water, especially if you have very hard water. That will prevent the formation of limescale. Always pour only the maximum volume into the water tank. More water in the tank will cause hot water to drip from the nozzle. If there is little water in the tank, not enough pressure will be created, and therefore little steam. You can shor9ten the heating time by pouring warm water.
Warning: Never use the steam cleaner with an empty water tank. Use only clean water.

Using instructions

When cleaning the window panels, pay attention the outside low temperature may lead to excessive glass tension which can even cause its cracking. Therefore, do not use the steam cleaner for cleaning windows when the outside temperature is too low. When cleaning glass, window, or similar fragile surfaces, avoid long cleaning at one place. It is recommended to use brush nozzle with cloth which distributes the heat and steam to larger surface. When cleaning glued, or painted surfaces, try the steam cleaner in smaller place first not to lose, or remove the paint due to heat and moisture. Clean such surfaces only for a short time and wipe dry immediately.
Do not use the steam cleaner to clean parquet, or unsealed wood.

Warning:
Do not use the steam cleaner to clean electric or electronic devices.
