PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANTES

Quand vous utilisez votre Appareil Électrique de Chauffage, il faut toujours suivre des
précautions minimales de sécurité, y compris celles décrites ci-après.

1- Lisez toutes les instructions.
2- Utilisez l’appareil uniquement pour sa destination d’emploi.
3- Pour éviter les risques de choc électrique, ne plongez pas l’appareil dans l’eau

ou d’autres liquides.

4- Ne tirez jamais sur le câble électrique pour débrancher l’appareil; au contraire,

prenez et tirez sur la fiche.

5- Une surveillance très rigide est demandée quand l’appareil est utilisé par des

enfants ou près d’eux.

6- Laissez refroidir l’appareil complètement avant de le ranger.
7- Débranchez l’appareil pendant les opérations de remplissage, vidange, avant de

le nettoyer et quand il n’est pas utilisé.

8- N’utilisez pas l’appareil si le câble ou la fiche électrique sont endommagés,

après un mauvais fonctionnement, ou si l’appareil est tombé ou a été
endommagé de n’importe quelle manière. Pour éviter un risque de choc
électrique, ne démontez pas l’appareil, amenez-le à une personne qualifiée pour
inspection et réparation. Un montage incorrect peut causer un risque de choc
électrique lors de l’utilisation.

9- Ne laissez pas l’appareil sans surveillance quand il est branché à la prise

électrique.

10- Toucher la vapeur peut causer des brûlures.
11- L’emploi d’accessoires non recommandés ou vendus par le producteur peut

causer incendie, choc électrique ou blessures.

12- N’utilisez pas au dehors. Cet appareil est destiné seulement pour emploi à

l’intérieur.

13- Ne placez pas le câble sur des surfaces chaudes.
14- Pour éviter une surcharge du circuit électrique, n’utilisez pas d’autres appareils

de haut ampérage sur le même circuit.

15- Si une rallonge électrique est absolument nécessaire, il est impératif d’utiliser

une rallonge pour 15 Ampères. Les câbles d’ampérage inférieur peuvent
surchauffer. Le câble de rallonge doit être aménagé de manière telle à éviter
qu’il puisse être tiré ou que quelqu’un puisse trébucher sur le câble même.

16- Débrancher le pistolet a vapeur aprés toute utilisation. Dans tous les cas, ne

jamais laisser branché l’appareil sans fonctionnement plus de 15 minutes.

GARDEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your Electric Heating Appliance, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

1- Read all instructions.
2- Use the appliance only for its intended use.
3- To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not put the appliance in water or

other liquids.

4- Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to

disconnect.

5- Close supervision when the appliance is used by or near children.
6- Let appliance cool completely before putting away.
7- Unplug from outlet when filling with water or emptying, before cleaning and

when not in use.

8- Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the appliance, take it to a
qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can
cause a risk of electric shock when the appliance is used.

9- Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the supply.
10- Burns can occur from touching steam.
11- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may

cause fire, electric shock or injury.

12- Do not use outdoor. The appliance is for indoor use only.
13- Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
14- To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on

the same circuit.

15- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere cord should be used.

Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

16- Switch off and disconnect the appliance from the power source after use and

never leave the appliance connected to the power supply for more
than 15 minutes when not in use.

few more seconds.

Now you can enjoy your work.

Note:For the first few seconds of use or on restarting after a pause you may get a few drops

of water from the nozzle. This is normal due to condensation.

USE OF GLASS WIPER TOOL (Ref. 10)

INSTRUCTION FOR END OF USE

USE OFACCESSORIES

1. Engage safety lock.

2. Disconnect from the power source.

3. Store the unit in a dry, safe place.

4. If you intend not to use the unit for any length of time ensure that the water tank

is completely empty.

Steam jet selector: The unit is supplied as standard with the steam jet selector (Ref. 1 Pos. G),
which allows you to select:

1. Concentrated steam (Ref. 8A).

2. Diffused steam (Ref. 8B).

The unit is also supplied with the following accessories:

Curved Jet nozzle:

For cleaning areas that are hard to reach and for removing stubborn dirt.

Brush: To be fitted on curved jet nozzle for removing very stubborn dirt or stains.(Ref. 7)
Glass wiper tool: For the cleaning of glass, mirrors and shiny surfaces.

All accessories are equipped with snap-on connectors for ease of use and
changeability .(Ref. 9)

Warning:

- When changing ensure that the accessory is fitted firmly.

- Before you disconnect the accessory from the Gun, make sure that no steam comes

out of the nozzle.

1. Spread steam evenly over the glass.

2. Clean with sponge.

3. Wipe with blade.

If needed the glass wiper tool can be fitted to the steam gun.

Warning: Thermal shocks can shatter glass. We recommend not to clean very cold or

frozen glass with steam until the surface has been warmed by directing the
steam jet on the glass from a distance of at least 10-15 cms (4-6 inches).

11

CALCIUM FILTER

HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER (Ref. 12-13)

SAFETY VALVE

MAINTENANCE

Using with distilled or demineralized water:

If the unit is used only with distilled or demineralized water the filter is not subject
to exaustion. Nevertheless we recommend to replace it once a year.

Using with tap water: If the unit is used with normal tap water it is essential to check

and
replace the calcium filter once it is no longer effective. It is considered
ineffective when the green grains turn BLUE. If the filter is not changed at the

correct time a calcium deposit quickly builds up and could damage the steam
generator.

1. Unscrew the water tank from the unit.

2. Remove used filter.

3. Insert new filter.

4. Screw back on water tank.
For the disposal of the used filter please follow the current legislations.

The unit is equipped with a safety valve which opens if there is an obstruction in the steam
circuit. When the safety valve opens there is a small leakage of some drops of water through
the outlet hole (ref. 11 Pos. A).
If this leakage should continue, we recommend not to operate the appliance and to take it to
a qualified service person.

12

DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE

• Should you decide not to use the machine anymore, it is recommended to make it
unusable by removing the power supply cord.

• In all cases it must be kept out of the reach of children.

• Being as the machine is a special waste, disassemble it and gather the homogeneous parts
for disposal according to the applicable laws.

• Do not use the scrapped parts as spare parts.
