Slide the lock button on the steam button forward and lightly press the steam button down to check steam sprays out of the nozzle.
Do not aim the spray nozzle at other persons, animals, or objects.
Release the steam button and lock.
Now that you have confirmed that steam spray comes out, please install suitable accessory attachment according to your needs.
Press the lock part on the steam button forwards and then press down on the steam button again, so you can steam what is required.
When you have finished switch off at the power socket and unplug.
Press the lock part on the steam button forwards and then press down on the steam button again, to release the pressure until no steam comes out.
Slowly unscrew the safety cap in an anti-clockwise direction, do not remove it, and residual steam will be discharged slowly until no more steam comes out.

RECYCLING YOUR ELECTRICALS
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires UK distributors to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of WEEE.
UK distributors (including retailers) are required to provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.
As a responsible retailer, we have met these requirements by offering all customers buying new electrical and electronic equipment free take-back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
