IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

When using your new steam cleaner/fabric steamer basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:

1. Fill the tank with (at most) with one measure of the water beaker provided. Do
not add anything to the water including chemicals, cologne, detergent and so
on. This may seriously damage the appliance and will void the warranty.

2. Do not use the appliance without water in the tank. If it stops producing steam,
this means that the water tank is empty. Unplug the appliance, and check that
the “Comfort Safety” system full indicator is not red (6). Then fill the tank with
one measure of water from the beaker, close the lid of the “Comfort Safety”
system (5) and plug the unit back into the wall outlet.

3. Warning: Always unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before refilling the
tank and check that the “Comfort Safety” system full indicator (6) is not red
before filling the tank.

4. Always check that the surfaces, objects and fabrics to be treated are resistant
to or compatible with high temperature steam. We recommend checking the
manufacturers instructions and carrying out a test on a hidden area or a sample
before using.

5. If you use the flexible pipe, point the initial flow from the steam cleaner/fabric
steamer into a container in order to get rid of steam that has condensed in
the pipe.

6. Do not lift the steam cleaner/fabric steamer at more than 45° from the
vertical during use, as boiling water could come out with the steam.

7. Never point the steam jet at persons, animals or at appliances containing
electrical parts.

8. Caution: the accessories will heat up during use. Take caution when removing
them.

9. Only use the measuring beaker to fill the water tank.

10. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the steam cleaner/
fabric steamer in water or other liquids, nor use with wet hands.

11. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet. Instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.

12. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the steam cleaner/fabric
steamer cool completely before putting away.

13. It is always recommended to disconnect the steam cleaner/fabric steamer
from the electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying. It should also be
disconnected when not in use.

03

14. Do not operate the steam cleaner/fabric steamer with a damaged cord or if the
steamer has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of an electric shock, do
not disassemble the product. Take it to a qualified service depot for examination
and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the
steamer is used.

15. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near children.
Do not leave the steam cleaner/fabric steamer unattended while connected.

16. Do not allow children to use this appliance.

17. Burns can occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Always take
caution when there is hot water in the reservoir.

18. This product is designed for home use, not commercial use.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

ATTENTION

• Before using your Pronto 100CH, remove all paper or plastic bags, plastic
sheets, cards and possible stickers that may be on the outside or inside of the
appliance that acted as handling protection or sales promotion material.

• Do not plug it in without checking that the voltage of the steam cleaner/fabric
steamer is the same as your home power.

• Do not spray “vertical” steam on a garment hanging in the wardrobe or on
a person. Vertical ironing (steaming) must be done with the garment on a
hanger and away from people or animals.

• Keep the steam cleaner/fabric steamer in an upright position during storage,
set on a stable surface.

• We recommend that you empty the water tank if you are not going to use the
appliance for an extended period of time.

• This product is not for use by persons (including children) whose physical,
sensorial or mental capacities are impaired, or who lack sufficient experience
or knowledge, unless they have been supervised or instructed in the use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

IMPORTANT: When you want to dispose of the appliance, NEVER throw it in the
garbage. Instead, go to your closest recycling station or waste collection centre
for subsequent disposal. In this way, you will be contributing to looking after the
environment.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR BEFORE USE

• Make sure that the appliance is unplugged.

• Open the lid of the “Comfort Safety” System (5), check that the “Comfort
Safety” system full indicator/red pin (6) is NOT visible, fill the reservoir with
1 beaker (17) (Fig.1). Remember that the water level should not exceed the
maximum marker on the beaker.

• Close the lid of the “Comfort Safety” system (5).

IMPORTANT! For the unit to function:

• The blue lid for the “Comfort Safety” system must be CLOSED.

• Red safety pin must be visible after water has been added
and pilot light turns off.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

• Attach the desired cleaning accessory and plug in the appliance.

• The pilot light (4) will come on indicating that the appliance is plugged in.

• When the steam cleaner/fabric steamer has the pressure required to operate,
the pilot light (4) will go off indicating that you can start to use it. This
operation will take approximately 2 minutes. During use, the pilot light will
switch on and off, indicating that the steamer is recovering the necessary
pressure.

• Press the steam control (2) to obtain steam.

• We recommend pressing the control (2) repeatedly for short bursts rather
than just a few times for longer periods, so as to maintain pressure in the
boiler and increase the performance of the steam.

• When you finish using the steam cleaner/fabric steamer, unplug it and wait for
it to cool down before removing the accessories.

• We recommend that you empty the water tank if you are not going to use the
appliance again for an extended period of time.

ACCESSORIES

TAPER NOZZLE (11)

• Insert the taper nozzle (11) in the accessory base (3) by lining up the lugs on
the taper nozzle with the holes in the base (3) and turn it clockwise (Fig. 3).

NYLON BRUSH (8,9), BRASS BRUSH (7) AND ANGLE NOZZLE (10)

• Attach these accessories by pushing them as far as they will go onto the
taper nozzle (11), taper nozzle with handle (12) or flexible pipe (16).

• For items that are particularly prone to scratches, it is best to use the nozzle
without a brush. For all other areas, start with the nylon brush (least abrasive)
and carefully work your way up to the brass. It is always better to use care
when using the brushes to prevent damage or scratching.

• The use of the steam nozzle alone is particularly good for cleaning and
degreasing many working surfaces, ventilation hoods, see through oven
doors, ventilation grating, kitchen furniture, stainless steel or enamel sinks,
hand-basins, bath-tubs, water taps (to remove scale and water residue), doors,
metal frames, car wheel rims, pet areas etc.

• The nylon brush, because of its softness, is ideal for removing the dirt in
grout, sinks and other surfaces where you need some light scrubbing action.
Be careful not to scratch the surface.

• Tougher cleaning jobs may require the use of the brass brush that is supplied.
Please make sure you are careful that it does not scratch the surface with
this tool. Brass is tougher than nylon, but softer than stainless steel. For
surfaces (grout for example) where the dirt is not being properly lifted with
the nylon brush, carefully using the brass brush may give the best results.

• When using the steam nozzle with or without the brushes, you will need a
cloth to wipe up the moisture and dirt that has been lifted through cleaning.

FLEXIBLE PIPE (16)

• If you want to reach hard to access places or the area to be cleaned is too
far away, use the flexible hose.

• Attach the pipe to the appliance in the way explained for attaching the
taper nozzle (11).

• You can add the following accessories to the flexible pipe, on its flat side:
nylon and brass brushes (7,8,9), angle nozzle (10), taper nozzle (11), taper
nozzle with handle (12) fabric accessory (13), and window-cleaning accessory
(15).

07

ACCESSORY FOR CLEANING UPHOLSTERY AND FABRICS (13–14)

• Use these accessories for cleaning furniture, sofas, rugs, clothing, and so on.

• Attach this accessory to the flexible pipe (16) or to the taper nozzle (11) then to
the machine (3).

• Place a cloth for fabrics (14 or 19) on the fabric accessory (13) when cleaning
delicate surfaces such as sofas, armchairs, rugs, curtains, freshening garments
and vertical steaming (Fig. 8).

• High-temperature steam allows you to remove wrinkles and freshen up
garments.

WINDOW-CLEANING ACCESSORY (15)

• Use this accessory for cleaning windows, mirrors and stainless-steel surfaces.

• You can attach the accessory for cleaning windows and mirrors (15) to the
fabric accessory. To attach it, insert the lugs on the window-cleaning accessory
into the hooks in the fabric-cleaning accessory and press downwards until the
central lug locks into place and you hear a click. (Fig. 11).

• Attach this accessory to the flexible pipe (16) or directly to the machine (3).

FILLING THE RESERVOIR DURING USE

• If you are using the steam cleaner/fabric steamer and it ceases to produce
steam, it means that the tank is empty.

• To fill the tank again, proceed as follows:

· Unplug the appliance.

· IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never refill the water tank with the appliance plugged

into the wall outlet.

· Open the lid of the “Comfort Safety” system (5).

· Check that the “Comfort Safety” system indicator/pin is not red (6). If the

“Comfort Safety” system indicator/red pin is visible, hold down the steam
button (2) until no more steam comes out.

· Pour in one measure of the supplied beaker (17).

· Close the lid of the “Comfort Safety” system (5).
