Usage Instructions:

Using the Attachments:

Extension tubes (17)

Use these tubes for extending the nozzle on the steamer as follows:

• Press and hold the button on the gun (part 20) and attach one extension

tube (part 17). Slide on the extension tube until it clicks into location.

• If you wish to use one more extension tube, repeat using the button on the end of the first extension.

Round brushes (12,13,14)

Three round brushes are supplied with the product (parts 12, 13, 14). Both black nylon brushes are suitable for cleaning difficult-to-access spots or gaps. The wire brush is suitable for highly dirty places.
 Take care not to damage surfaces when using the abrasive wire brush!
                  
                                                       To attach a brush:

• Press and hold the button on the gun (part 20) and attach the nozzle (part 18) to the gun until it firmly fits into position.

2.   Screw the desired brush attachment onto the nozzle.
Note: The nozzle can be used without brushes and will give concentrated, high-pressure jet 
of steam for stubborn stains.

Floor attachment (21)

You can use the floor attachment with or without cloths. We recommend that the cloth covers be used for cleaning hard floors and no cores for carpets, rugs, etc.
To do this:
1.  Attach the extension tubes as described above.
2.  If needed, fit the cloth cover over the head and ensure it is secure using the clips, as
shown  left.
Note: Any cloth can be fitted to the cleaner head, not just those supplied with the machine.
Simply use the clamps on top of the head to secure.

Window attachment (9)
1. If required, assemble the extension tubes and fit the glass cleaning attachment as shown in the diagram opposite.
  2.  Apply steam to the windows and wipe clean with the rubber squeegee on the head.   IMPORTANT: To prevent glass cracking, never steam clean windows on a cold day.

Garment brush (10)
Garment brush can be hung from the hanger on the upright pole for steaming. Set pole to required height using the extension sections (part 19).

To use:
Assemble the upright pole to the required height and insert into the support on the back of the steamer.
Tighten the collar on the support to secure the pole.

Using a coat hanger, hang garments on the hook on top of the pole.
 Attach the garment cleaning attachment to the steam gun and add the required cleaning part if needed.
Note: If using the cleaning adapter, please ensure one of the small cloth covers is placed over the steam head.

When not in use, you can hook the brush into the holster as illustrated to the right.

Ensure that the stabilizer is screwed down to the floor, as shown to the left, in order to prevent the machine from tipping when garments are hanging on the steamer.

Filling with water

1.  Lift the handle as shown.
2.  Remove the water tank from the steamer completely.
3.  Remove the filter from the air-tight packaging and make a note of the date of opening on
the red label stuck onto the filter. Filter should be replaced each year.
      4.  Insert the filter into the steamer as shown.

Note: If there is a build-up of sediment or line scale in the filter or steamer, simply spray a jet pf steam through the gun for 2-5 minutes to clean.
