VAPORELLA PRATICA - PRATICA BASIC

Proceed as described in the “ACCESSORIES

CONNECTION” paragraph. To obtain steam from

the stain remover gun, press the steam request

button (10). The powerful jet of steam produced

can be used effectively as follows, depending on

the type and size of stain.

• If operating on a SUPERFICIAL STAIN, direct

the jet of steam to skim the fabric in proximity of

the stain in order to project the dirt with the pres-

sure against a cloth used to collect it (fig.14).

• If operating on a DEEP STAIN, turn the item in-

side out and act on the fabric from the inside. Af-

ter resting it on a sponge, direct the jet of steam

onto the stain so that the dissolved dirt can exit

from the opposite side of the fabric and be absor-

bed by the sponge (fig.15).

• Simple methods are often the most effective: a

shot of steam can sometimes be sufficient to eli-

minate even the most resistant stains.

• To avoid halos around the stain it is advisable to

point the steam jet nearby the borders of the

stain first and then towards the center of it gra-

dually.

• Make sure that the stain has been completely re-

moved from the fabric before ironing it, as the

iron’s heat fixes the stain permanently.

• To obtain an even better result, it is advisable to

perform the cleaning operations on an ironing ta-

ble equipped with a suction board.

• DO NOT use the steam on bloodstains as blood

coagulates with heat thus fixing the stain perma-

nently.

• Should the stain persist, do not dry the item

before acting a second time. Should the stain

persist even after the second attempt, it is advi-

sable to contact a qualified dry cleaning centre.

• A summary table accurately classifying the types

of stains in relation to the advisable cleaning

method is included as part of these instructions

(TAB.2).

• Always do a test on a non visible part of the item

first or on a sample.

• When dealing with coloured items, it is advisable

to test the colour resistance on a section of non

visible material.

• Use moderately with silk items and acetate ba-

sed fibres.

• Never leave the gun within the reach of children.

• It is recommended to disconnect the appliance

when it is not in use.

• Connect the steam gun to the generator as de-

scribed in paragraph “ACCESSORIES CON-

NECTION”.

• Attach the appropriate accessory for the surface

to be treated, as described in “TIPS FOR BET-

TER ACCESSORIES USAGE”

• Wait for the steam pressure indicator (5) to go

out (about 15 minutes). Push the steam request

button (10) on the steam gun to release bursts of

steam. Release the button and the steam will

stop.

NOTE: during initial operation a few drops of wa-

ter mixed with steam may come out. It is advisa-

ble to direct the first jets of steam onto an old

cloth until a uniform stable jet of steam is obtai-

ned.

You can connect different types of accessories to

the steam gun according to the kind of surface to

be treated.

For correct connection of the accessories pro-

ceed as follows:

• Hook the tooth which is at the bottom of the ac-

cessories to the inside of the hose for steam gun

accessories (18), then turn it according to the in-

clination you need until it is completely locked

(fig. 16).

1) ATTENTION!!! The accessories get hot during

use, so be careful when you remove or replace

them, use a kitchen glove, or leave them to cool

down. Replace the accessories only when the

power supply cable is not connected to the

mains.

2) Before treating leather, special fabrics (especially

draylon and velvet) or wooden surfaces with

steam, consult the manufacturer’s instructions

and always proceed only after carrying out a test

on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area trea-

ted with steam to dry and then check whether

any changes in colour or deformations have oc-

curred before proceeding further. For extremely

delicate surfaces use the steam jet at a minimum

range.

3) When using the curtain-freshener accessory,

make sure to check the fabric manufacturers’ in-

structions on how to iron different fabrics.

In case of particularly delicate or valuable fabrics

(velvet, brocade, etc.), it is necessary to keep the

accessory at a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in-

ches) when delivering the steam.
