Vacuuming Function

1. Ensure the dust tank is empty and properly installed.

Steam Cleaning Function

1. Ensure the water tank is filled (500 ml capacity).
2. Select the steam mode. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the water to heat up and steam to generate.
3. Once steam is ready, move the appliance slowly and steadily over hard, sealed floor surfaces. Do not hold the steam cleaner in one spot for too long to avoid damaging the floor.
4. The steam pressure is 2.8 bar, providing effective cleaning and sanitization.
5. Replace the mop pad when it becomes heavily soiled.

Combined Vacuum and Steam Function

For optimal cleaning, it is recommended to vacuum the area first to remove loose debris, then proceed with steam cleaning. Some models may allow simultaneous operation; refer to the specific controls on your unit.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam vacuum cleaner.

• Emptying the Dust Tank:
  • Press the release button to detach the dust tank.
  • Empty contents into a waste bin.
  • Rinse the dust tank and filter with water if necessary, and allow them to air dry completely before reassembling.

  Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the water tank and steam system, especially if using hard tap water. To descale:

  • Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
  • Pour the solution into the water tank.
  • Allow it to sit for 30 minutes, then empty.
  • Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water.
  • Run a tank of clean water through the steam system to flush out any remaining vinegar.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
