2. **Select Mode**: Choose your desired cleaning mode (cold water, hot water, or steam) using the controls on the unit or handle.
   • **Hot Water Mode**: Heats up in approximately 10 seconds. Ideal for dissolving stains.
   • **Steam Mode**: Ready in about 30 seconds. Provides 100°C high-temperature steam for sterilization and deep cleaning.
3. **Apply to Surface**: Hold the cleaning head firmly against the surface to be cleaned.

Troubleshooting

Specifications

User Tips

• **Pre-treat Stubborn Stains**: For very tough or old stains, consider pre-treating the area with a suitable cleaning solution before using the Y100 for best results.
• **Utilize Hot Water for Faster Drying**: The 60°C hot water mode not only helps dissolve stains but also aids in faster evaporation from carpets and upholstery, reducing drying time.
• **Steam for Grease and Sterilization**: Leverage the 100°C steam for highly effective cleaning of greasy kitchen surfaces (like extractor hood grids) and for sterilizing fabrics and mattresses to eliminate mites and bacteria.
• **Interchangeable Brushes for Hygiene**: Make use of the replaceable brush heads to prevent cross-contamination when cleaning different types of surfaces or items (e.g., shoes vs. upholstery).
• **Regular Self-Cleaning**: Always use the one-touch self-cleaning function after each use to keep the hose clear and prevent unpleasant odors from developing.
• **Check Water Levels**: Ensure both the fresh and dirty water tanks are at appropriate levels before and during cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
• **Consider Optional Accessories**: For specialized cleaning tasks like glass or delicate fabrics, consider purchasing the Velvet Brush (sold separately).
