2. Insert the plug into the electricity socket. Press the “ON/OFF” button placed on the back side of the appliance to the ON position.
3. The Vileda STEAM will now start heating up the water inside the tank.
4. The LED on the water tank will be green, this means that the appliance is now heating the water. It takes 15 seconds for the water inside the product to heat up and reach the working temperature.
5. Regulate the desired volume of steam using the selector switch (see next chapter)
6. Start using your Vileda STEAM!
7. Turn the unit off by switching the “ON/OFF” button to the OFF position.
8. Disconnect the main plug from the socket to turn off the appliance. Vileda STEAM allows killing 99.9% of E.coli Bacterium, as tested in an external lab.

ADJUSTING THE STEAM QUANTITY

1. Use the selector switch located above the water tank to regulate the volume of steam The selector switch has two positions: Maximum Steam Volume. Minimum Steam Volume (recommended for delicate floors, like parquet or laminate). Set the steam volume selector to the required steam volume. Whilst operating the steam volume selector, always have the appliance in an upright position with a pad on the base of the product.

REFILLING THE WATER TANK

Water needs to be re-filled into the tank if the steam volume decreases during use and no more steam is emitted in the end.

Using the product with an empty tank may activate the ‘self-protection mode’ and the LED on the water tank will light up red. In this self-protection mode, the device cannot be used until the LED lights up green.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are in doubt or if the failure is not listed here please contact the authorized customer service number. Always disconnect the mains plug and allow the steam cleaner to cool down before performing any maintenance work. Repair works may only be performed by the authorized customer service. If no steam is emitted anymore and the LED turns red, check the water level inside the water tank and follow the instructions described in the chapter “Filling The Water Tank”. If there is still no more steam emitted, the appliance may need to be descaled. In this case follow the instructions described in the chapter “Limescale Removal”.

LIMESCALE REMOVAL

If the product begins to produce steam more slowly than usual or stops producing steam you may need to remove limescale. Limescale can develop over time on the metal parts and affect product performance. We recommend removing limescale on a regular basis, especially in areas with hard tap water. The frequency of limescale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the product.

Recommended procedure to remove limescale from the appliance

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and insert it into the water tank (approximately: 135 ml white vinegar and 265 ml water).
2. Place the Steam Mop in a way that the steam released from the appliance is not reaching the floor, objects or persons.
3. Plug in the unit and wait for the green light.
4. Wait until all the vinegar/water solution is used up by the appliance.
5. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow rate is achieved.
6. Fill the water tank with fresh water, attach to the unit and release steam through the system until the water tank is empty.

Note: after each limescale removal procedure, we recommend performing a test using the appliance to clean a suitable isolated floor area, to ensure that there is no debris left in the appliance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAD WASHING

• Dirty pads can be machine washed at 60°C.
