NOTE: The number references in the following section relate to the Appliance Overview image on page 5

CLEANING FLOORS

• Make sure the machine is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
• Unscrew the steam cap (6) by turning anti-clockwise.

Please note the cap cannot be unscrewed when the unit is pressurized.

• Using the measuring jug and funnel (2 & 3) fill the machine with up to 1500ml of water. This should be sufficient to steam clean for approximately 35 minutes
• Once full, replace the safety cap (6) by turning clockwise and fasten tightly
• Attach the accessory or floor cleaning tool you require to the machine (see page 6)
• Now plug the machine into the electrical outlet and switch on. Two lights should illuminate. The red light is a power indicator. The orange light indicates that the machine is building steam pressure
• When the machine is first turned on this light will illuminate. The machine takes up to 12 minutes to reach the correct pressure level depending on the amount & temperature of water
• Once the orange light has gone out the machine is ready to use. The orange light may come back on when the machine is in use. If this happens, release the safety trigger and allow the steam pressure to build up once again. This should take no longer than 40 seconds. If the safety trigger is pressed when the orange light is on, hot water may come out of the machine.

REFILLING THE WATER TANK

• Switch the machine off using the on/off button (15)
• Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet. Wait 5 minutes before squeezing the safety trigger to make sure the machine is no longer under pressure before unscrewing the safety cap. DO NOT unscrew the safety cap until the steam has stopped
• Fill the water tank as necessary using the funnel provided. DO NOT exceed 1500ml of water before replacing the safety cap by turning clockwise. Fasten cap tightly
• You are now ready to switch the machine on and resume steam cleaning.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLE

• Press the button at the end of the nozzle in to attach the straight adaptor or the extension tubes
• Squeeze the trigger on the handle for steam
• Lock the trigger for constant steam

HOW TO USE THE TOOLS

• The jet nozzle and the brush tool can be used to get into awkward corners that are normally difficult to clean
• Use the brush tool to scrub and loosen stubborn dirt from hard surfaces
• Use the window/tile cleaner to clean grime from tiles and windows
• To use these tools, first fit the straight adaptor. Depress the button on top of the handle and push the straight adaptor on
• Now you can push any of these three tools onto the tip of the straight adaptor. Please note that these attachments slide onto the straight adaptor (do not twist)
• Attach the floor brush to the extension wands, which snap together. Then attach the extension wand to the steam gun. Do ensure the extension wands are firmly connected
• Before cleaning always remove dust from the surface you wish to clean
• To release the extension wands depress the button on the hose connection

CLEANING WITH CLEANING CLOTH

• While the machine is switched off attach the cleaning cloth to the floor brush via the spring-loaded clips, Make sure the edges of the cleaning cloth are secure
• DO NOT attempt to do this while the machine is still hot
• Never remove the cleaning cloth while the safety trigger is released or the machine is warm to the touch

HOW TO USE THE WALLPAPER STEAMER

1. Your wallpaper steamer may be supplied with the handle separate to the plate and requiring assembly – this requires the handle to be locked into place on the steam plate and then secured with the two screws provided
   NOTE: Do not use without correctly attaching the handle

2. Now attach the fully assembled wallpaper steamer to the steam control gun

3. Before using, direct the wallpaper steamer into a bucket and press the trigger to remove any condensation build up in the steam hose

4. It is highly recommended that you test a small area of the wall before full commencement of the operation; this is to check that you do not have any loose plaster, as the pressurised steam could get behind and “blow” the plaster away from the wall

5. Faster removal of wallpaper can be achieved by scoring the wallpaper before steaming – a crisscross pattern scored into the wallpaper to be stripped achieves the best results

6. Place the wallpaper steamer directly against the wallpaper for around 12 seconds, and then move on to the area next to where you have just been steaming – you should now be able to easily remove the wallpaper from the previously steamed area with a wallpaper scraper

7. Continue working in this fashion until all the undesired wallpaper is removed; steaming and scraping at the same time – working in a “Z” pattern is found to be most effective, starting at the top of the wall.

8. Some types of wallpaper may require longer steaming times especially painted papers or anaglypta

9. Always take care when using the wallpaper steamer and ensure that it is never directed towards people or pets
   NOTE: Never use the wallpaper steamer immediately over any electrical socket or switch in case of electric shock.

HOW TO USE THE BBQ BRUSH

• The BBQ brush fits onto the steam gun in the same way as the other accessories and is used to clean various enamel type surfaces
• With stainless steel bristles this is a more aggressive type of cleaning tool, so care needs to be taken on any surface which could be damaged
  NOTE: If you have used chemical cleaners on the surface to be cleaned, it must be washed off entirely before using the BBQ brush.

WARNING – Risk of injury!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

• Cleaning and maintenance operations should be carried out with the appliance disconnected from the power supply
• The machine should be allowed to completely cool down before it is stored away or cleaned
• Clean the machine and its accessories with a slightly damp cloth only.
• Never use a cleaning product or detergent
• To ensure that your machine operates correctly over a long period, rinse out the water tank once a month to remove lime-scale deposits. A vinegar solution or a descale solution can be used to clean inside the water tank
• There are no customer service parts to the boiler unit, all repairs must be carried out by a qualified person.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience difficulties with the appliance, please check the suggestions below before contacting customer services on 01473 271272:

steam. This may condense as water or water droplets in the Steam Hose and can be

expelled when used after a period of cooling. This is normal and not a cause for concern.

No Steam comes out| Check that the hose has not become kinked or blocked- Also check the power supply and water level.
I can’t get the Pressure Cap off| Make sure that you have fully de-pressurized the Boiler. See the section refilling the water tank.
Steam flow is erratic; sometimes it works well, other times it does not| If you have not used distilled or deionized water, you may have a small blockage inside your Steam Cleaner. Try descaling your unit. Check all attachments are fitted correctly.
I live in a hard water area, my Steam Cleaner does not work as well| Empty the machine after use. In hard water areas your Steam Cleaner may benefit from occasional descaling. This can be done by using a kettle descale solution.

You can also use distilled or deionized water to extend the life of the product.

Fuse Replacement (Class I)
Remove the fuse cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Take out the fuse and replace with a new fuse of the same Amp. Replace the fuse cover and push back into place.
