Preparing the appliance

Unscrew the patented safety cap (7) (Fig.1) and fill the
boiler with not more than 1.1 litres of water, using the
filler funnel (U). Make sure that the water does not
overflow, and that space is left in the boiler for the steam
to form.
Normal tapwater can be used. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits
which in hard water areas can cause limescale build up
in the boiler. It is essential to swill it out with tapwater
every 3 or 4 uses.
Note:Never use distilled and scented water.

Filling the water reservoir

Filling the water filter container

Make sure the rubber gasket is present inside the safety
cap, then screw on the safety cap (7) to hand tight. Make
sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed
on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping around
the cap.

• Lift the dirt container handle (22) unhooking it from its
position (Fig. 2) and remove the container (20) (Fig. 3).

• Turn the container handle (22) as shown in figure 4,
so as to remove the “Eco Active- Filter” water filter
assembly (23).

• Fill the dirt container (20) with about 1,2 litres of tap
water until the MAX level indicator (21) is reached, as
in fig. 5.

• Put the filter assembly (23) back into place in the dirt
container (20) returning it to its initial position.

• Replace the dirt container into position.

• Support the handle (22) until it hooks into its place on
the dirt container (20).
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances put or
leave the filler bottle in the water filling aperture of the
appliance when the appliance is connected to the mains
electricity supply. Danger of burns!
Note: The functioning of the vacuum cleaner is based
on the whirling of the suction air in the water filter. In the

Maintenance

process, sucked-in materials and deposits of cleaning
agents from floors get collected in the water bath. This
can sometimes lead to the formation of foam. It is
necessary to add the foam stop liquid to the water filter
bath to avoid this situation. The foam stop liquid is
environment friendly and fully bio-degradable. Slight
foam formation is normal and does not hamper the
functioning of the machine.

Open the hose connection flap (9); fit the monobloc plug
(B2) by pushing it, without pressing the button, until you
hear the click of the locking mechanism, then make sure
it is well locked (fig.6).

• To disconnect the monobloc plug (B2) from the appliance,
push the button (B3) and pull the monobloc so as to
separate it from the appliance (fig.6a).

• Now connect the appliance to the mains.

This appliance is equipped with a patented safety cap,
which prevents opening of the boiler as long as there is
any pressure remaining inside. This is an important and
indispensable safety device and it is necessary to follow
certain procedures when re-filling the tank. When you
have used up all the water in the tank, preceed as follows:

• Switch off the machine at the boiler switch (2).

• Disconnect the power supply cable (13) from the mains.

• Unscrew the safety cap (7) anti-clockwise.

• Wait for a good few minutes to allow the boiler to cool
down.

• When the boiler is cool, proceed to carefully refill it as
described in the paragraph headed PREPARATION FOR
USE.
WARNING: When REfilling the boiler always pour
gradually into it only very small quantities at first of HOT,
not cold water, so as to avoid spitting. KEEP FACE AND
EXPOSED SKIN WELL AWAY FROM THE APERTURE.

Operation

• Press suction switch (1). The appliance will begin to
suck.

• To stop suction, simply press suction switch again (1)

• Using the suction regulator (5) it is possible to change
the suction power according to the type of cleaning
required, or to stop suction immediately in case of
accidental suction (e.g. curtains). It is advisable to work
with the suction regulator open on curtains, carpets, and
sofas, etc. Move the suction regulator forward until the
hole on the handle is visible. To return to maximum
power, move the suction regulator backward, gradually
covering the hole.

Suction only mode

• Wait for the pressure indicator light (4) goes out. When
it does, Magic Steam Vac Basic is ready to generate
steam.

• You may now deliver steam by pressing the steam
button (A3) on the handle.

• If you decide not to use the steam any longer, you may
switch off the boiler by pressing the boiler switch (2).

Steam only mode

You can use the steam and suction modes together by
activating both as described above.

Steam + Suction mode

Lack of water in the boiler will be shown by the indicator
light (3). In order to continue working, proceed as
described in the section.

Regulation of the steam flow

You can optimise the steam flow by means of the control
knob (8) (Fig. 7).
To obtain a higher flow rate turn the knob in a clockwise
direction. When the knob is turned in an anti-clockwise
direction, the flow rate decreases.
High flow rate of steam: to remove caked dirt, stains,
grease and to sanitise;
Normal flow rate of steam: for wall-to-wall and loose
carpeting, windows, floors; Low flow rate of steam: for
spraying plants, cleaning delicate fabrics, wallpaper.

Supply cable storage

Before putting away Magic Steam Vac Basic, store the
supply cable (13) in its compartment (15) proceeding as
follows:

• Take out the dirt container (20) as indicated in the
paragraph “preparation for use”.

• Manually wind the cable evenly and put it in the storage
(15), making it go through the power supply cable
channel (14) (Fig.8).

• Put the dirt container (20) back in its place making
sure it is correctly positioned.
