2. Select the cold water mode on the appliance.
3. Press the trigger on the multifunction tool to spray water onto the stained area.

2. Hot Water Mode

Effective for deep cleaning and removing stubborn, oily stains. The appliance heats water to approximately 60°C in 20 seconds.

1. Fill the clean water tank with cold water and optional low-foaming cleanser.
2. Select the hot water mode. Wait approximately 20 seconds for the water to heat up.
3. Proceed with spraying, brushing, and suctioning as described in the Cold Water Mode.

3. Steam Mode

For disinfection and sanitization, using high-temperature steam (100°C in 40 seconds). This mode is suitable for resistant stains and killing germs.

1. Fill the clean water tank with clean water only (no cleanser).
2. Select the steam mode. Wait approximately 40 seconds for the steam to generate.
3. Attach the fabric cleaning cover to the multifunction tool for upholstery or the steam jet nozzle for hard surfaces.
4. Direct the steam onto the surface. For non-textile surfaces like leather sofas, use the fabric cover.
5. For the steam jet nozzle, note that it only sprays water or steam; it does not aspirate or brush. Stains should be wiped dry with a cloth after steaming.

Important Operating Tips:

• For optimal suction, maintain the correct angle of the cleaning tool against the surface. Excessive or insufficient tilt can lead to poor water absorption.
• When the dirty water tank is full, the machine will emit a voice prompt and automatically stop the suction motor. This indicates it's time to empty the dirty water tank.
