2. Unscrew the tank filler cap (5) by turning counterclockwise.

3. Using the measuring cup (10) and the funnel (11), fill the Steamer with 1.8L of water. (This will produce about 35 minutes of steam.)

4. Replace the filler cap by screwing it clockwise.

5. Attach the extension tubes to the steam handle (1) to obtain a steam mop or attach the accessory adapter (23).

6. Connect the appliance and press the switch (12) to the ON position.

7. Two lights come on. The indicator light (12) comes on to Indicate that the power is turned on. The Heating light (13) comes on to indicate a rise in steam pressure in the appliance.

8. The appliance is ready for use when the steam Heating light (13) goes out and the pressure reaches between 4 – 5 bar/ 58 – 72.5psi depending on the water level in the tank.

9. During use, the steam Heating light (13) may turn on again. This indicates that the steamer is re-heating to supply power.

10. If the pressure drops below 1 bar, the steam flow may not be sufficient depending on the accessory used. In this case, release the steam trigger (2) and wait pressure reach again between 4 and 5 bar/ 58 – 72.5psi.

11. When activating the steam trigger (2), 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.
    After a few moments the water will turn into steam and there will be no more cough.

12. When activating the steam trigger (2), a lot of water can flow. 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 quietly.

13. 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. Provide a sponge or cloth to wipe this surface.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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, you can use your device normally.

No Steam Is Coming Out?

Check the hose is bent or not? if necessary, re-extension. Make sure that the water tank is not empty.

I can not remove the fill cap?

Make sure the Steamer is completely depressurized. The filler cap is designed can’t be removed while the unit is still under pressure. To do this, empty all residual pressure from the tank by pressing the steam trigger (2). The steam trigger can be unlocked by engaging the steam trigger lock latch (3) in the ON position. Once the pressure is discharged from the tank, the filler cap of the tank can be opened. The steam flow is irregular, the appliance “coughs”. Slight blockage caused by soil or other foreign matter that can prevent the flow of steam from arriving continuously. Clean the water tank as shown on page 15.

Can I use boiled water from my tea kettle?

No. Boiled water concentrates the minerals that form the tartar. Never use pre-soaked water in Steamer.

Can I leave water in the Steamer?

No. Water left in the water tank for a prolonged period may deteriorate the mechanics of Steamer and deposit limescale. 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.

How do I attach the accessories?

Press the blue button on the handle (1) and insert the extension tubes or accessories. Make sure the button goes back up to lock the accessory in position before use. You should normally hear a light click.

Rotating brush (Optional）the part will rotate due to the high pressure applied.
Push the rotating brush pipe on the extension tube until the knob fits 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: Don’t use the brush towards your face or other parts of the body. Hot steam is coming out!
