TR NSPORT
• Your device is fitted with two wheels for ease of transport. Tilt the de-
vice towards the rear holding the pole and then pull along to transport.
• You can also lift up the device in order to transport it, again holding the
device by the pole.
Do not attempt to lift up or transport the device holding the pedal, the
water tank handle or the built-in hanger.
CLE NING
• Clean the main unit with a damp cloth.
• To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled oc-
casionally. The time between descaling operations depends on the qua-
lity of the water and the frequency with which you use the appliance. The
appliance must be descaled at least once a year or after 50 hours of use.
• To carry out a descaling operation, follow the following steps:
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely (2 hours mini-
mum).
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it on the main unit
allowing water to fill the boiler.
3. Remove the water tank from the base and empty out the water via the
water tank filling hole by tipping the device over a sink. Limescale and
other residues are thus removed.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 several times until the scale has been removed.
C UTION: Don't fill the boiler by the steam head holes !
Never immerse the steam head in water !

the hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation.
