4. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions when using this accessory with your steam cleaner:
- Ensure the steam cleaner is unplugged and cooled down before attaching or detaching the nozzle.
- Never direct steam at people, pets, or electrical appliances.
- Use caution when cleaning hot surfaces.
- Do not use the nozzle if it is damaged.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Refer to your main steam cleaner manual for additional safety guidelines.
5. Setup and Installation
- Preparation: Ensure your Ariete steam cleaner is turned off, unplugged, and has cooled sufficiently to prevent burns.
- Identify Connection Point: Locate the accessory connection point on your steam cleaner, typically at the end of the steam gun or hose.
- Attach Nozzle: Align the base of the glass cleaning nozzle connector with the connection point on your steam cleaner. Push firmly until it clicks securely into place. Do not force the attachment.
- Verify Connection: Gently tug on the nozzle to ensure it is firmly attached and will not detach during use.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the glass cleaning nozzle is securely attached, follow these steps for effective glass cleaning:
- Fill Water Tank: Ensure your steam cleaner's water tank is filled according to its specific instructions.
- Power On: Plug in and turn on your steam cleaner, allowing it to heat up to the operating temperature.
- Test Steam: Before applying to glass, direct a short burst of steam into a sink or cloth to ensure consistent steam flow.
- Clean Glass Surfaces: Hold the nozzle approximately 1-2 inches from the glass surface. Apply steam in even, overlapping strokes, working from top to bottom. For stubborn spots, hold the nozzle over the area for a few extra seconds.
- Wipe Dry: Immediately after steaming a section, wipe the glass with a clean, lint-free cloth or squeegee to remove moisture and dissolved dirt, preventing streaks.
- Repeat: Continue this process until all glass surfaces are clean and streak-free.
Note: For best results, pre-clean heavily soiled glass surfaces to remove loose dirt before steaming.
7. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your nozzle:
- Cleaning: After each use, allow the nozzle to cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Ensure the nozzle is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the nozzle for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzle does not attach securely. | Incorrect alignment or incompatible model. | Ensure correct alignment and verify your steam cleaner model is listed in the compatibility section. Do not force. |
| Steam output is weak or inconsistent. | Issue with the main steam cleaner unit, not the nozzle. | Refer to your steam cleaner's main instruction manual for troubleshooting steam output issues. Ensure water tank is full. |
| Streaks remain on glass after cleaning. | Insufficient wiping, dirty cloth, or mineral residue. | Wipe immediately after steaming with a clean, lint-free cloth or squeegee. Consider using distilled water in your steam cleaner to reduce mineral deposits. |
