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.
• 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
