Upright steaming: Assembly
A Insert the handle (1) onto the main body (7).
B Insert one of the screws (supplied) into the hole in the lower cord
storage hook (5) and rotate until tight.
Insert the other screw (supplied) into the side of the handle (on the
opposite side to the lower cord storage hook) and rotate until
tight.
NOTE: Attaching the handle is necessary for first time assembly
only.
C Lower the main body onto the floorhead (18), with the floorhead
release button (17) on the neck of the floorhead to the back of the
assembly, until it clicks into place.
D Insert the steam outlet nozzle at the bottom end of the hand-held
steamer (8) into the adaptor at the bottom of the space in the
front of the main body.
Push the steam cleaner firmly into the space in the main body
until it clicks into place.
E Attach the floor cloth (20) to the floorhead and tighten the toggle
at the rear.
Using in upright steamer mode
IMPORTANT: Before use, hardfloors should be thoroughly
swept and carpets should be thoroughly dry vacuumed.
However, we recommend that the steam cleaner is not used
on:
•
bare wooden floors or any surfaces where wood is exposed
(as it will absorb moisture and may distort).
•
damaged hardfloors or hardfloors with gaps present (as it will
absorb moisture and may distort).
Also, do not keep the mop in one place for an extended
period, because the continual heat may cause damage to
carpets and laminate flooring.
Squeeze the buttons (13) on the side of the water tank (14) to
3
remove it from the hand-held steam cleaner (8).
Remove the filler cap (11) by rotating it
anti-clockwise to the 'unlock' position, then lift it out.
Fill the water tank.
IMPORTANT: To prevent limescale build-up in the water tank,
never fill the steam cleaner's tank with anything other than
deionised, demineralised or distilled water (available from most
leading supermarkets). Any problems arising from limescale will
invalidate the product guarantee.
Replace the filler cap and turn it clockwise to the 'lock' position.
Replace the water tank.
4 Attach the floor cloth (20) to the floorhead (18), securing it in place
by tightening the toggle (21).
5 Rotate the upper cord storage hook (4) to quickly release the
power cord (10).
Secure the power cord in the cord holder (3).
WARNING: Before switching ON, ensure the floorhead is
6
located safely away from persons or animals.
Plug in at the mains outlet and switch on the steamer at the
On/Off power switch (12). The power indicator light (15) will
2
illuminate and steam will be ready to be emitted after around 30
seconds (when the steam trigger (2) is pressed).
7 Place the floorhead (18) on the floor. Hold the floorhead to the
floor with your foot and tilt the main body (7) back.
To emit steam continually, press and hold the steam trigger (2)
whilst slowly pushing the cleaner back and forth along the floor.
But to prevent over-wetting of the floor, operate the steam trigger
intermittently (especially on hard floors).
If cleaning carpet, rest the floorhead (18) with floor cloth (20)
8
attached into the carpet glider (19) to make it easier to move the
floorhead across the carpet.
NOTE: The carpet glider is intentionally a loose fit on the floorhead.
Using the hand-held steam cleaner
This function is ideal for cleaning vertical surfaces and hard to reach
9
places.
Separate the hand-held steamer (8) from the main body (7) by sliding
the hand-held release button (6) upwards on the front of the main
body.
Pull the hand-held steamer up and out of the main body.
1 0 In order to use all of the accessories, the accessory adaptor (22)
must firstly be attached onto the hand-held steamer (8).This can be
done by completing the following:
1
Slide the adaptor over the nozzle of the steam cleaner with the
release catch on the adaptor facing the base of the hand-held steam
cleaner.
2
Align the keyway on the hand-held steamer with the release catch
on the adaptor. Push together and fix into place.
3
Attach the desired accessory to the end of the adaptor by aligning
the arrow on the accessory with the right-hand arrow on the adaptor
and twist the accessory until the arrow aligns with the left arrow of
the two on the adaptor.
WARNING: Switch OFF and unplug before changing nozzles.
After use, nozzles will be very hot, allow to cool before handling.
