12. CLEANING FURNITURE AND
DELICATE SURFACES
WARNING: Before steam treating surfac-
es (wood or laminate floors, carpets, rugs,
leather and fabrics and any surfaces espe-
cially those that are delicate or treated),
consult the surface manufacturer's or the
supplier/installer's instructions and always
perform a test on a section that is out of
view or on a sample. Allow the steamed
surface to dry to ensure that there is no de-
terioration, change of colour or deforma-
tion and that the surface stands up to the
temperature of the steam.
Use only the Portable Steam Cleaner.
Ensure that Chapter 1 has been followed.
Turn on the appliance following the instruc-
tions listed in Point 2.4 and connect the ac-
cessories as shown in Chapter 3.
12.1 Connect the flexible steam hose to the
portable cleaner and attach the triangular
brush with the cloth on it.
12.2 Adjust the intensity of the steam (7). For
this type of surface we recommend the lowest
level (MIN).
12.3 To produce steam, press the steam but-
ton located under the handle of the portable
unit (14) (the tank will light up to indicate that
the appliance is producing steam) and direct
the jet onto a cloth.
WARNING: Do not direct the steam jet di-
rectly onto surfaces.
12.4 Use the cloth previously steamed to
clean the surface, avoiding prolonged use on
the same spot.
13. OTHER GENERAL USES
WARNING: Before cleaning the surface,
always do a test on a hidden part and see
how it reacts to the application of steam.
13.1 REFRESH CURTAINS AND DRAPES see
Chapter 9.
Mites and dust can be removed from curtains
and drapes by steaming the fabric directly
from the Portable Cleaner. The steam is able
to remove odours and brighten up colours, al-
lowing the fabric to be washed less frequently.
For this surface, set the steam to the lowest
level (MIN).
13.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS
AND UPHOLSTERY
ATTENTION: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
Direct the steam directly onto the mark with
the greatest possible angle (never vertically
to the surface to be treated) and position a
cloth beyond the stain, in order to collect up
the dirt that has been "blown" away by the
steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to the lowest
level. (MIN).
13.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMID-
IFYING ROOMS
To care for your house plants, remove the
dust from the leaves using the steam. Use the
Portable Steam Cleaner with the flexible hose
attached to easily direct the jet (to attach it
see Chapter 3). Steam the surface at a mini-
mum distance of 50 cm. Adjust the steam to
the lowest level (MIN). Plants breathe better
and will be cleaner and brighter. The steam
can also be used to refresh spaces, especially
those frequented by smokers: steam the room
by directing the jet towards the ceiling and
distributing evenly.
