To do this, flip the cover flap down, align the steam hose with the bottom notch and push the connector of the steam hose firmly into the steam socket until it clicks into place (Fig.4). To remove the steam hose, press in both release buttons on the right and left hand sides of the steam connector and pull it out from the steam socket (Fig.5).

Assemble the extension hoses if the steam cleaner is to be used to clean floors or difficult to reach areas. To do this, push the open end of a tube into the steam gun until the release button of the steam gun clicks into place (Fig.6). Add one, or two extension tubes if required. Press in the appropriate release button and pull the tubes apart with a downward movement to take the extension tube off again (Fig.7).

The floor nozzle is delivered with a separate connector. Assemble the connector as illustrated. Attach the floor nozzle to the end of the extension tube. Ensure that the nozzle clicks into place on assembly (Fig.8).

The floor nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable wall and hard floor surfaces. It may be used with or without the cleaning cloth. However, we recommend using the cloth to protect sensitive surfaces such as wood or linoleum. Place the floor nozzle on the cleaning cloth and secure the overhanging material under the cleaning cloth clips on the left and right. Press on the inner sides of the holder, then open the clips and the cleaning cloth can be secured in place (Fig.9). To take the floor nozzle off again, press in the appropriate release button (see Fig.7), and pull the nozzle off with a downward movement.

The Brio 220CC has a range of attachment nozzles to enable the most effective and thorough cleaning of different surfaces. First assemble the accessory adaptor so that these attachments can be connected to the steam cleaner hose. The accessory adaptor can be attached directly to both the steam gun and the end of one or more extension tubes. Ensure that the adaptor is firmly pushed on until it clicks into place (Fig.10). Press in the appropriate release button and pull apart with a downward movement to take the adapter off again.

Simply push the jet nozzle firmly into the accessory adaptor to attach it (Fig.11). This nozzle makes it possible to clean hard to reach places such as corners, joints and toilets with ease. The jet nozzle may be removed by pulling it off with a downward movement.

STARTING UP

The two brush attachments are pushed firmly onto the accessory adaptor. Even the most stubborn dirt can be removed from a variety of surfaces using the small nylon brush (Fig.12) The larger nylon brush, (Fig.13) is suitable for heavy staining on less sensitive materials such as stainless steel or stone. The brush nozzles are removed by simply pulling them off with a downward movement.

The 2-in-1 nozzle consists of a right—angled steam attachment onto which the window cleaner can be attached. Push the right—angled steam attachment firmly onto the detail nozzle. Pull the cotton cover over the nozzle for more thorough cleaning and to protect the work surface (Fig .14). Attach the rubber blade to tie right-angled steam attachment if windows, mirrors or tiles are to be cleaned (Fig. 15).

CAUTION: Glass may crack if subjected to thermal shock! Pre-heat areas of glass prior to steam cleaning by spraying steam in a wider arc from a distance of 20-25 cm. Slowly reduce the distance to lO-l5 cm to heat the glass up further.

The 220CC has a built-in water tank holding 1.5 liters. The steam cleaner must always be disconnected from the mains when filling or topping up with water.Unscrew the tank cap (Fig. 16) by pressing the cap down and simultaneously turning it counter-clockwise. Use the funnel and measuring jug supplied when filling with water (Fig. 17).

The green operating pilot lamp and red heating pilot lamp (Fig.19) light up. The operating pilot lamp lights up as soon as the 220CC has been plugged in and switched on. The heating pilot lamp indicates that the steam cleaner is currently heating up. The operating temperature is reached after approximately 8 minutes and the red heating pilot lamp goes turns off the appliance is now ready for use.

The extension tube with assembled floor nozzle may be inserted in the parking holder on the back of appliance for storage purposes or for short breaks while working.
• Always ensure before cleaning or maintaining the steam cleaner that it is switched off and unplugged from the main power supply.
• Only clean the appliance by wiping over the housing with a lightly moistened cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, abrasives or alcohol since they may damage the housing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 filling operations at the latest if your water is hard. To rinse your steam cleaner start by adding water to the tank and giving it a good shake to clean it, this will loosen any lime-scale that has been deposited on the bottom of the steam cleaner. The water tank should be treated with lime—scale remover approximately every 6 months to prolong the steam cleaner‘s life. Place one limescale removal packet in 1 litre of warm water and fill the water tank with it. Allow the solution to work for approximately 30 minutes and then pour away the water with the dissolved solids. Repeat this process if necessary and then rinse out the tank with water. Then pour out the water and allow the tank to dry out completely before closing it.

DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE

If the appliance‘s useful life has come to an end, the appliance should be rendered unusable by removing the plug from the socket and cutting off the power cable. Please dispose of the appliance properly through your public waste authority.
