CONTROL PANEL

1 General switch
2 Display
3 Water-filling cap
4 Steam adjustment knob
5 Connector block for hose

PREPARATION and START TO USE

Open the cap (3) and fill the tank with tap water.
-Note: If the water available should be “very hard”(>20°F), It is recommended the use of 50% demineralized water or distilled water, (this to avoid excessive limestone formations and to be sufficiently conductive)
ATTENTION: Do not add detergents, anti-limestone solutions or essential oils in the water tank boiler, these can cause irreparable damage to the boiler and circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused by improper use.
Connect the plug to a socket on an electrical interconnection conformed to the rules of the country, equipped with a switch and an earth terminal efficient.

START TO USE:
Turn the main switch on (1).
The display (2) will turn on and indicate the temperature-pressure status of the machine, when the machine is ready, it will visualize “170”. (usually the machine needs around 2÷3 minutes to be ready.)
The machine starts heating.
Choose the most suitable accessory for the needed use and connected it to the multifunction handle, by means of the extension tubes, then insert the hose connector as shown by the white arrow in the picture.

When the machine is ready, to release steam through the handle of the flexible, press the lever button (6).
Now use the brush or accessory in the surfaces to be cleaned.
Attention: it is recommended to perform the first release of steam after the heating on a container for about a minute, this is to collect any condensate water generated in the initially cold ducts.
Attention: if you are working on delicate surfaces or things, keep the steam jet at an adequate distance of at least 20-40cm.

STEAM RELEASE REGULATION:
Through the regulation knob (4) placed frontally on the machine, you can gradually adjust the release of the steam.

END OF WATER: The acoustic and the visual indicator of the display (2), indicates when there is no more water inside the tank by showing “H2O”, this is why the machine will stop the steam release.

WATER SUPPLY:
Proceed as decribed:
Open the cap (3) and refill the tank with water (see note PREPARATION).
Close the cap.
Push the lever button (6) of the hose handle to re-start working. (you can hear the pump starting to work) please wait a few seconds and then re-start your cleaning operation with steam.

ACCESSORIES AND USE

FLEXIBLE HOSE AND HANDLE

To release steam just keep pushed the button placed in the handle, the product is designed to ensure maximum practicality.

EXTENSION TUBES

The extension tubes can be used in pairs or individually, depending on the desired distance and they should be used with floor brush, triangular brush or other specific accessories.

WINDOW SQUEEGEE

This accessory can be applied directly to the flexible. It is ideal for cleaning glass, tiles, windows and other flat surfaces. With the lower rubber brush you can clean and with the top you can remove the film of water.
WARNING! When cleaning cold glass (in winter), apply the steam from a distance of at least 50 cm.

RECTANGULAR BRUSH

This accessory must be connected to the hose or the extension tube, after having plugged it to the JOINT. This brush is ideal for large surfaces and floors. With two bristle row, this brush is indicated for the treatment of hard surfaces: Marble – Ceramics – Cotto. The brush has on the top of two pliers for cloth, it can be used with or without cloth. The cloth offers a great power of absorption and cleaning, and it is designed to mitigate the power of steam released during the treatment of very delicate surfaces such as wood – Laminate – Parquet – treated Cotto.

TRIANGULAR BRUSH

This accessory must be connected to the hose or the extension tube, after having plugged it to the JOINT. Used for cleaning corners and clothes. Ideal also for cleaning mattresses, sofas, chairs, car seats,other products with fabrics and in general in all those places not accessible by the rectangular floor brush.

STEAM LANCE

This accessory can be applied directly to the flexible. Suitable for having a powerful jet of steam conveyed the nozzle exit. Pay attention when cleaning delicate surfaces, start the steam release maintaining a minimum distance of 20-40cm and then bring it closer depending on the desired result and the treated surface.

JOINT

This accessory is necessary to use the two brushes, RECTANGULAR and TRIANGULAR. Use this joint with the desired brush by inserting it into its seat, making sure that to hook it must be rotated of 90° with respect to the working or vertical position.

BRUSHES

These brushes are to use with the accessory STEAM LANCE. They are used to remove resistant dirt and for deep cleaning, even in the corners or small spaces. Choose the nylon or brass type according to the surface to be treated.

MANTAINANCE

*** Always remove the plug before cleaning or carrying out operations on the machine.

For the safety of the operator and to ensure an always perfect performance, we recommend the following checks and maintenance:

AFTER EVERY USE:
For a correct cleaning, it is advice to clean the machine and its accessories with a clean cloth moistened only with a few drops of water. Do not use alcohol or other solvents, they may damage the plastics and components.
To maintain efficient and easy to couple the accessories, check the o-ring seal (steam sealing gaskets) and possibly wet them with a little silicone grease.

PERIODICALLY:
Periodically check that the power cord does not show signs of wear or aging. If it is damaged, it is absolutely necessary to get it replaced by specialized personnel before being able to re-use the appliance again.

BOILER CLEANING

Clean the boiler in our authorized centers once a year.
RINSE: It’s recommended at least every 50 hours of operation or 4 months.
a) DISCHARGE: The machine must be cold or definitely discharged from the steam pressure and the plug disconnected. Open it by pulling the rubber cap placed under the machine in correspondence of the boiler (see image below) and with an allen wrench 6mm open the drain plug, shake slightly the machine to let the water and the completely dissolved limestone out.
When the boiler is empty, clean and close carefully the cap tightening it with the wrench.
b) FILLING: Fill the water tank (3), turn the machine on and make it start again, waiting for the boiler to be recharged again.
( att: Att: it may be that during the first charge cycle, the “end of water” light turns on and you need to shut down/restart the machine to complete the load)

BOILER CLEANING:
The boiler cleaning is recommended at least every 100 hours of operation or 8 months.
After having necessarily made the boiler exhaust (see paragraph RINSE in step a), ensure that the water level in the plastic refill tank (3) is at least up to the middle. Shake the machine well and then turn it upside down to discharge any residual deposits in the tank.
Dissolve in 1 liter of water about 15% of citric acid (if in powder or granules, 150g of citric acid dissolved for each liter of water).
(Alternatively it is possible to use 0,3 liter of water with 0,7 liter vinegar).
Insert the prepared liquid in the refill tank of the machine. (3).
Connect the power plug, turn on the main switch.
Wait for the pump to finish filling the boiler. (Att: it may be that during the first charge cycle, the “end of water” light turns on and you need to shut down/restart the machine to complete the load).
When fully charged, turn off the main switch, unplug the power plug and let the machine to rest for 6-7 hours.
(Att: do not let inside the solution over the indicated time period to avoid damaging the steel of the boiler)
With the machine cold, shake it well and then open the drain plug, now empty well all the limestonedissolved in the solution, rinse it again entering from the drain hole a couple of glasses of clean water.
Now clean and close the drain plug carefully.

Fill the charging tank (see Preface) with clean water and turn on the machine. Wait for it to charge and heat.
Now, for about 10 minutes the steam supply will smell of lemon given by the washing performed.
When the boiler cleaning is finished, restart the machine, following the instructions in “Start to use”.

► * after the cleaning operations of the boiler, it is advisable to check if the caps under the machine leak, in this case check their closure with a wrench or replace the seal after the machine cools down.
