PREPARATIONS FOR USE
Filling the steam generator
Before performing maintenance or cleaning the
appliance, make sure it is unplugged from the
mains.
•Open the steam generator by pressing down on
the safety cap and turning (fig. 1).
•You should fill the steam generator (fig. 2) with
a maximum of 1.2 litres of tap water (overfilling
could cause the appliance to malfunction).
•Press down on the cap and screw up.
Preparing the cleaning tools
All the tools provided can be used on either the
extension tubes or the handgrip.
To fit, just push on until they click into place (fig. 3).
To remove, press the button and pull, taking care
not to pinch your fingers.
USING THE APPLIANCE
• Plug the appliance into the mains.
•Press the ON/OFF switch (D). The light on the
switch comes on.
•When the "steam ready" light (B) comes on, the
appliance is ready to use.
To use the steam press the button on the hand-
grip (fig. 5). To stop steam delivery just release
the button.
NB: When used for the first time, the appliance
may give out smoke and an odour for several
minutes. This is caused by heating and subsequent
drying of the sealers used in assembling the steam
generator. You are recommended to ventilate the

the handgrip.
Never open the cap until the water is comple-
tely finished.

(D) and unplug from the mains socket.
•Wait about 15 minutes to let the steam genera-
tor cool down and avoid flowback of water
while refilling.
• Place a cloth over the steam generator cap (E)
and open the cap slowly and carefully to allow
residual steam to escape.
• Fill the steam generator again as described
above.
AFTER USE

ging, wrapping the power cable around the cable
tidies and putting the tools away on the tool holder
