IMPORTANT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use

and before servicing.

• Do not use outdoors or submerged in water.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used

near children. Do not allow children to operate the machine.

pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into machine openings. Do not use with any opening

blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts of body away from machine

openings and moving parts.

• Turn off all controls on the unit before unplugging.

04

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use to vacuum or steam ammable or combustible liquids spills or

areas, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

• Use only tap water to rell the boiler and water tank. Do not use chemicals,
perfumes or other liquid.

• The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged, cut, or punc-

tured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replace-

ment parts.

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,

matches, or hot ashes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, ground­ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of

electric shock. This appliance cord is equipped with an equipment-grounding

conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not

modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not t the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

This appliance is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 volts
and is factory-equipped with a specic electric cord and plug to permit connec­tion to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an

outlet with the same conguration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with

this appliance. If the appliance must be reconnected for use on a different type of

electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualied service personnel.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIPTION

7. Connect the vacuum cleaner plug
into the rear socket of the unit.

CAUTION! Connect only the vacu­um cleaner delivered with the unit.
Other vacuum cleaners or tools
can damage the unit (Fig. 6).

8. Rell the water tank with tap water

(1 Fig.7).

CAUTION! Use only tap water,
never use any other substance
(Fig. 7)!

9. If using chemical rell the chemical

tank (2 Fig. 8).

CAUTION! Use only products sug-

gested by manufacturer (Fig. 8).

10. If there is no power to the machine
check the fuse (A).

11. Unwind the cable and insert the
plug into the wall socket of a
suitable wiring system. Unless
otherwise stated the machine is
suitable for 120V-60Hz connection
(Fig. 9).

CAUTION! We will not be liable for
any damage caused by operating
conditions with voltages other than

required! Make sure that the plug

is grounded so as to avoid any
problems with the generator func­tion (Fig 9).

Pressure Gauge

• A pressure reading gauge is present

on the control panel.

• 0–4: minimum/medium pressure.

• 4–6: medium/maximum pressure.

• 6–8: maximum pressure.

• 8–10: Over-pressure

• Open the latch of the hose inlet, on

the machine front, and connect the
hose making sure that it is properly
connected (Fig. 13).

• Insert and connect the other end of

the hose in the vacuum inlet (Fig. 14).

• To move the machine push from back­ward as shown in (Fig. 15).

FIRST FILL-UP

• If the boiler and water tank are completely empty, all system functions are

disabled.

• Ensure there is water in the tank, and manually ll if empty.

• With the tank full and the boiler empty, after feeding the generator through

the switches (see the “PREPARATION” paragraph), the system controls the

water lling pump until the correct level is reached in the boiler. In this phase
the heater is deactivated. Once lling is completed, the pump is turned off,

and heating is simultaneously enabled through the boiler heater.

• Discharge any residual air from the boiler during the heating stage, by press­ing switch 2 (Fig. 20) and pressing the steam delivery button 1 (Fig. 20). This
operation is important, given the power of the generator to prevent excessive
rise in pressure.

OPTIONAL STEAM KIT

The machine can works also with optional Steam Kit. The optional steam kit
provides different accessories where it is possible to use only the steam or
steam+chemical function.

Lock the selected accessory onto the flexible hose handle. Slip both ends on so

they t completely (Fig. 14), taking care to double-check that assembly is correct.

Press button (1) on the handgrip to enable the steam ejection.
Press the trigger (5) on the bottom of the handle to eject steam (Fig. 15).

STEAM SUPPLY CONTROLS/CHEMICAL SUPPLY CONTROLS

• Keep button pressed (3 Fig. 16) on the handgrip to enable chemical
supply, the yellow pilot light (4) on the dashboard will turn on.

• All accessories included in the supply can be assembled by simply tting
the two edges completely as shown in (Fig. 19).

• The square brush is usually employed to clean oors and for large at
surfaces. The brush is equipped with a lever allowing the handle to rotate

as shown in (Fig. 20).

• Moreover 4 handy hooks allow to hang a cloth.

• Rotating triangular brush (Fig. 21).

• The rotating triangular brush is usually employed to clean small,delicate

surfaces and for uneven and irregular surfaces (armchair fabric pleats).
It has softer bristles. The steam is distributed directly on bristles
(patented system).

WANDS

• Wands are recommended for regular cleaning. Wands must be tted
directly on the hose handgrip or on the wand extensions.

• Both can be used coupled with the set of circular brushes (Fig. 22).

WASHING/WIPING DEVICE

• The washing/wiping device is used to clean and wipe a surface.

• It consists of a natural bristle brush and a metal/silicone rod. It can be
directly tted in the hose handgrip or in the extensions (Fig. 24).
