1. PREPARATION FOR USE
Steam may cause serious injury if in
contact with body parts. Always allow
the steamer to cool down before
handling.
To reduce the risk of personal injury
unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet and let the appliance
and the accessories cool down completely
before handling.
Always make sure that the appliance is
unplugged before performing
maintenance work of any kind,
including adding water or cleaning the
appliance.
1.1 Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is whole and that
all the parts are included.
1.2 Turn the tank cap.
Fill the tank completely
with water, making sure
that it does not overflow.
The tank is removable and

dispensing steam. The extension hoses can
be connected to the flexible hose to reach
high surfaces.
6.5 To clean tiles, attach the cap to the small
brush and pass over the surface, dispensing
steam, in order to eliminate the dirt. The
extension hoses can be connected to the

application of steam.
10.1 BRIGHTENING UP CURTAINS AND
DRAPES
ENGLISH
Mites and dust can be removed from curtains
and drapes by steaming the fabric with just

10.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS
AND UPHOLSTERY
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
Direct the steam directly onto the stain with
the greatest angle possible (never vertically
with respect to the surface to be cleaned)
and place a cloth beyond the stain to collect
the dirt that has been “blown” away by the
steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to

12. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance on the
device, always unplug it from the power
mains making sure that the product has
cooled down before proceeding.
To clean the outside of the appliance, use
only a damp cloth and tap water.
All accessories can be cleaned using running
water, ensuring they are completely dry
before the next use.
Do not use detergents of any type.
After using the brushes, we recommend
letting the bristles cool down in their natural
position, in order to avoid any deformation.
13. CLEANING THE BOILER
(special maintenance)
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
Risk of scalding! When accessing the boiler
(removing the cap, filling up, emptying),
ensure that the appliance is switched off at
the power switch and disconnected from
the mains for at least two hours.
To maintain optimum performance, clean the
boiler every 10/20 uses depending on the
amount of limestone in the water.
13.1 Unplug the appliance and let it cool down
for 2 hours at least, if it is hot.
13.2 Empty the water tank to prevent leakage.
13.3 Place the appliance on
its side and unscrew the
boiler cap protection
located on the side of the

and/or explosives or perfumes into the
boiler.
14. KALSTOP (PANA0001) optional
Kalstop is the limescale product for
appliances with boiler for ironing and steam
cleaning.
Regular use of Kalstop, every time the tank is
filled with water:
- Extends the life of the appliance.
- Allows emission of a “drier” steam
- Prevents limescale build up.
- Protects the walls of the boiler.
- Contributes to saving energy.
15.4 The smaller
accessories can be stored
inside the accessories
compartment.
