The water tank

The brass ball weight
The brass ball weight inside the water tank is
attached to the end of the suction hose. The ball
is weighted and designed to freely move around
the water tank depending on the position of the
product. If the ball does get stuck outside the
water level, gently shake the product until it
comes free. The ball must remain in the water so
steam can be generated whenever the steam
trigger is pressed regardless of the orientation of
the handheld steam cleaner.

Anti-scale

Limescale
Tap water contains minerals which can result in a
build-up of limescale in the boiler. This can
severely affect the steam output. The anti-scale
cartridge (14) treats the water before it enters the
boiler to minimise the effects of these minerals,
but after a maximum of three months use, it will
lose its effectiveness and must be replaced. This
should be reduced further in areas of very hard
water or if the cleaner is used extensively.
To prevent limescale build-up in the boiler, never
fill the steam cleaner's water tank with anything
other than deionised, demineralised or distilled
water (available from most leading supermarkets).
The use of the correct water is an additional
precaution that should be taken to ensure the
performance of the boiler is maximised.

After use

Follow the two maintenance steps below after
every use.
Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the
1.
socket. Remove the carpet glider (if used) and
rest the floorhead (22) with micro-fibre floor cloth
(24) attached into the cooling rest tray (26). The
cooling rest tray catches any residual heat or
moisture emitted from the floorhead to ensure it
will not affect the surface. Wait until the cleaner
has cooled down completely. Once cooled,
remove the micro-fibre floor cloth and wash and
air dry it (see 'Cleaning the cloths' under the
'Maintenance' section on page 11).
Empty the water tank (17)
2.
cap (15) and pouring out the water. Allow the
inside of the water tank to dry out before
replacing the filler cap.
