Lint pad*
The lint pad is a separate accessory and cannot be atta-
ched to the steam head. You can use the lint pad inde-
pendently from the steamer.
The lint pad removes hair, lint and animal fur for a profes-
sional finish.
• To use the lint pad, slowly brush the clothing with the
grain or nap of the fabric.
• The pad can be cleaned by brushing it in the opposite
direction. We recommend cleaning the pad on an old
cloth that can be discarded.

ger when not in use.

led down completely.
Cleaning
• Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To maintain
maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled
occasionally. The time between descaling operations
depends on the quality 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.
Unplug the unit and remove the steam hose from main
unit. Collapse the telescopic poles.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and attach it to the
main unit again , allowing water to fill the boiler.
3. Remove the tank from main unit and empty the water
from the boiler through the open hose connector into a
sink. Scale and other residues will be rinsed out.
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 several times until the scale has
been removed.
TIP: For more effective descaling, after every 50 hours of use, use descalers available
at your store recommanded for garment steamers or electric kettles. To avoid irritant
vapors, use products based on citric acid only.
Follow the products instruction for use with garment steamers or electric kettles.
