IMPORTANT possible damage to materials
• Before using the product, make sure that all items, surfaces and fabrics to be
cleaned are resistant to or compatible with the high temperature of the steam.
Specifically, treated terracotta flooring, wooden surfaces or delicate fabrics,
such as silk or velvet, should not be treated without first consulting the instructions
from the manufacturer and carrying out a test on a small hidden sample part.
• Never use in swimming pools containing water.
• Never add scale removers, fragrances, alcohols or detergents to the
boiler tank, as these could damage the appliance. We recommend
filling with tap water or alternatively, with 50% demineralised water
and 50% tap water in areas where the water is very hard.
• Never use the appliance if there is no water in the boiler tank as this
could damage the pump.
• Before switching on the appliance, make sure that there is sufficient
water inside the boiler tank. If it is necessary to refill the tank during
use, proceed as described previously, and following the instructions in
the paragraph "FILLING THE BOILER TANK DURING USE".
• Clean the boiler tank at least once a month so as to eliminate any
scale residues that might affect the normal operation of the appliance
(see the paragraph "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").
• Never use the window wiper brush if the surface to be cleaned is
cold; the thermal movement could cause the surface to break, In cold
seasons, where the temperature is particularly low, pre-heat the glass
with steam jets, all over, from a distance of about 40 cm.
• When using for the first time or after a long pause, direct the steam
jet into a container to eliminate any excess water.
• Do not threaten the safety of the appliance by using parts that are not
original or which have not been approved by the manufacturer.
• Unplug the appliance by gripping the plug firmly and pulling it out
