MPORTANT: The pressurised steam is at a high temperature. Always test on an inconspicuous area
first. Never use it on objects or surfaces which cannot resist this temperature, or on surfaces with
c
oatings or polishes, or on delicate materials such as dralon, plastic, natural fur or antique items etc.
If in doubt, check carefully on a part of the material where minor marks will not matter.
Operating the appliance
Pull the hose inlet flap
(9) d
own at the front of
the cleaner.
Push the hose connector firmly and fully into the
cleaner socket.
WARNING: Please allow the product to cool
and release any pressure before removing the
hose.
1
Steam cleaning floors
I
MPORTANT: The steam cleaner should not be used on:
• bare wooden floors or any surfaces where wood is exposed (as the surface will absorb moisture and may
d
istort).
• damaged hardfloors or hardfloors with gaps present (as the flooring will absorb moisture and may distort).
Additionally, do not keep the floorhead
(23) in one place for an extended period because the continual heat
may cause damage to carpets and some hardfloor types such as laminate flooring.
• Use the low steam setting on sealed wood and laminate flooring, do not make the floor overly wet.
• Use the medium steam setting on tiled flooring, do not make the floor overly wet.
• Use the high steam setting on stubborn marks and dirt.
Lock the trigger (see step 6 of “Steam Cleaning Floors” on page 6) and allow the cloth or attachment to cool
before removing.
Thoroughly sweep or vacuum floors before steam cleaning.
The stiff floor brush (22) should only be used on hard ceramic type floors.
Unscrew the filler cap
(6)
by turning
anti-clockwise.
NOTE: If there is pressure in the boiler, the
filler cap cannot be removed. Switch off,
release any pressure via the hose trigger and
press the red button on the filler cap to allow
the cap to turn.
Fill the boiler with a maximum of 1 litre of water
by using the jug and funnel provided.
IMPORTANT: To prevent limescale problems in
the product, only use deionised, distilled or
demineralised water (or Morphy Richards’
Water Softener). Any problems arising from
limescale will invalidate the product
guarantee.
Refit the filler cap and fully tighten by turning
clockwise. If the filler cap will not tighten, press
down the red button.
NOTE: If there is pressure in the product, the
red button cannot be pushed down.

(19)
or directly onto the hose handle (11).
If using the extension tubes, push them onto the
handle steam nozzle (14) as far as they will go
until you hear a click.
To clean very dirty areas, move the floorhead
over the surface more slowly in order to increase
the cleaning action of the steam.
5
WARNING: Before switching ON, ensure the
steam outlet is located safely away from
persons or animals.
Plug in at the mains outlet and switch on the
steam cleaner at the on/off power switch

steam ready light will illuminate. This will take
approximately six minutes. The steam cleaner

The green steam ready light will cycle
on-and-off during operation to show that the
steam cleaner is maintaining the steam
pressure.
4
Fit the cloth to the floorhead using the grips on
the underside of the floorhead. If cleaning
carpets, the carpet glider
(28)
should be
attached to the floorhead.
The cleaning power of the cloth can be
optimised by flipping, changing and washing
the cloth regularly.
Additional cloths can be ordered through our
helpline.
6
Press the steam trigger lock (12) to allow the
steam trigger
(15) to be operated. When not in
use, press the lock ‘on’ to prevent accidental
release of steam.
WARNING: When the trigger is first pressed, hot

Limescale
To prevent limescale build-up in the boiler, never

water (available from most leading supermarkets),
or Morphy Richards’ Water Softener (790002) for more information or to purchase, call our UK
spares line on 0344 873 0710.
The use of the correct water is an additional
precaution that should be taken to ensure the
performance of the boiler is maximised and the
product is not damaged.
IMPORTANT: The use of any other fluids can be
dangerous and can lead to damage of the heating
element.
Rinsing the water tank
To clean the water tank fill it with clean water and
shake vigorously. This will release any limescale
deposits that have collected on the bottom of the
tank. Pour the water out by holding upside down.
