7 - CLEANING - PRACTICAL ADVICE
20. Steam must not be directed towards equipment containing electrical
components, such as the interior of an oven.
21. Do not use steam to clean the appliance itself when it is working, or to clean
clothes or shoes when they are being worn. Never have wet hands or feet
wet when the appliance is connected and you are using it.
22. Stop steam delivery when replacing accessories. Disconnect the appliance
when not in use and before filling the boiler and replacing the steam tube.
Never touch the steam jet with your hands.
23. Never pull the power cord to unplug the machine from the mains socket.
24. Do not expose the machine to severe weather elements, such as: rain, hail,
snow, wind, etc... Never put the appliance into any type of liquid.
25.Use the appliance with the utmost care when children are nearby.
26.Do not use the power cord to lift the appliance or to drag it about while
you are cleaning!
27. If you decide to no longer use the appliance, we recommend making it
safe by cutting the power cord, after unplugging it from the mains! We
also recommend not treating it as ordinary rubbish, but to deliver it into
the hands of personnel qualified to collect such material. In this way it
will be properly disposed of, but most of all it will be possible to recycle
components, and reuse them to make other objects, safeguarding the
environment, which belongs to all of us.
Never cover the equipment; it could overheat.
• Spray steam on small surfaces each time. Once the dirt has dissolved, it is
much easier to remove it.
• For more stubborn dirt, treat the surfaces directly with the steam jet.
• To clean stains from upholstery or from carpets and rugs, spray the steam
onto the area to be cleaned and then go over lightly with the triangular
brush, without pressing down. Leave the surface to dry, and then check if
the stain has disappeared. Repeat if necessary.
• For delicate surfaces such as wood, spray on a little steam and leave to dry.
• Carpets must first be cleaned with the vacuum cleaner, and then with the
steam cleaner.
NOTE:
• The steam jet can't remove lime scale. To get rid of this, use a descaler.
