• Only connect the steam cleaner to an easily accessible socket so that you can quickly disconnect the steam cleaner from the mains supply in the event of a fault.
• Do not operate the steam cleaner if it is visibly damaged or if the mains cord or mains plug is defective.
• If the mains cord of the steam cleaner is damaged, the manufacturer, its after sales support or a person with similar qualifications must replace it to avoid risks.
• Do not open the housing; instead, have a qualified professional carry out the repairs. Contact a qualified workshop for this. Liability and warranty claims are waived in the event of repairs performed by the user, improper connection or incorrect operation.
• Only parts that comply with the original device information may be used for repairs. Electrical and mechanical parts, which are essential for providing protection against sources of danger, are located in this steam cleaner.
• Do not operate the steam cleaner with an external timer or separate remote control system.
• Do not immerse the steam cleaner, the mains cord or mains plug in water or other liquids.
• Never touch the mains plug with damp hands.
• Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the mains cord; instead, always do so by taking hold of the mains plug.
• Never use the mains cord as a carrying handle.
• Keep the steam cleaner, mains plug and mains cord away from open flames and hot surfaces.
• Lay the mains cord so that it does not pose a tripping hazard.
• Do not kink the mains cord and do not lay it over sharp edges.
• Only use the steam cleaner indoors. Never operate it in wet rooms or in the rain.
• Never store the steam cleaner so that it is at risk of falling into a bath tub or a basin.
• Never reach to retrieve an electrical device if it has fallen in water. In this case, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Make sure that children do not insert any objects in the steam cleaner.
• Never leave the steam cleaner unsupervised! Always pull the mains plug out of the socket after use or if you interrupt work. The device will heat up and build up steam pressure as long as the mains plug is connected to the socket!
• Before filling the steam cleaner with water, cleaning it or changing accessories, pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Never point the steam directly at electric devices or furnishings containing electric parts such as the inside of ovens.
• Only use the steam cleaners with dry hands and not without shoes (not barefoot). This will reduce dangerous body currents in the event of a fault.
• Never point the steam cleaner at objects that are sensitive to moisture.
• Keep children away from the steam cleaner and connection line.
• Never take the safety cap off as long as steam is still being emitted from the steam nozzle!
• Do not touch the hot parts of the steam cleaner with bare fingers during operation. Clearly advise other users of the risks!
• Keep in mind that hot steam is also able to escape from the steam cleaner after you have turned it off.

Attention:

• Let the accessories used cool off first before you remove them.
• Do not use the steam cleaner if it has fallen down, if there are any apparent damages or if it is leaky.
• Keep the steam cleaner away from children if it is switched on or is cooling down.

More Attentions

• Wear gloves, protective goggles and respiratory protection when attempting to remove substances that are harmful to health.
• Do not point the steam jet at other persons or animals. Hot steam can cause serious injury!
• First check an inconspicuous area as to whether the material you intend to clean is suitable for cleaning with a steam cleaner. For example: Steam could cause lacquered wood or leather to fade. Unprotected wood could swell up. The steam could remove protective layers of wax. Plastics could tint if exposed to steam. Soft plastics could deform if exposed to steam. Cold glass or mirror surfaces could burst if exposed to hot steam.
• If you would like to clean windows, you must first warm them up, e.g. by applying steam to a larger area at a greater distance and then from a closer distance.
• Please be careful that acrylic, velvet and satin are sensitive to hot steam.
• Ensure that the mains cord does not come into contact with hot parts.
• Never expose the steam cleaner to high temperatures (heaters etc.) or to effects of the weather (rain etc.).
• Never fill the steam cleaner with liquids other than water.
• Never immerse the steam cleaner in water to clean it and do not use a steam cleaner to clean it. Otherwise, the steam cleaner could be damaged.
• Do not in any case place the steam cleaner or the individual parts in the dishwasher. It would be destroyed.
• Please check the steam cleaner and package contents carefully.
• Stop using the steam cleaner if its plastic parts exhibit cracks or breaks or are deformed. Only replace damaged parts with corresponding original spare parts.
• Do not operate the steam cleaner with an empty tank. Once the water reservoir has been used up, pull the mains plug to avoid overheating it.

Operation

2. Before use, please read the user manual carefully. The steam cleaner is only for private use (not suitable for commercial purposes), and for indoor use only (not for outdoor use).

3. Put the steam cleaner on a level platform and open the safety cap by twisting it counterclockwise. Then use the funnel and measuring cup to fill the water, and then reinstall the safety cap and tighten it in position (Fig. 8).

Special attentions:

• Maximum tank capacity is 1.5L, but we suggest you only fill water 1.4L to get the dry steam. If more than 1.4L water, there may be some water in the steam at the first 1 minutes.
• In order to get ideal steam, please be sure to fill 0.5L ~ 1.2L water.
• Please do not add water less than 500ml.
• Please use clean water. (Small solid particles may block pipe and the machine may not work).
• Please do not pour any chemicals such as alcohol, cleaning agents into the steam cleaner. (Some chemical solvents can easily cause machine failure, and even endanger the user's personal safety in serious cases).
• If the tap water in your area is very hard, it is recommended that you mix the tap water with distilled water. Otherwise, the steam cleaner could calcify prematurely and clog the steam nozzle.

4. When the power is plugged in, the yellow and red indicator lights turn on simultaneously, indicating that the steam cleaner is heating up and the pressure is increasing. Please wait for about 7 - 9 minutes until the yellow indicator light turns off, which means heating is finished and the machine is ready for use.

Attention:

• Please only use the machine if the yellow indicator light turns off.
• The steam released from the first use may contain some water droplets, so please avoid using it to clean carpets, curtains and other items that easily absorb water.

5. After heating is finished, please select the accessory you need and install it on the unit.

6. Switch the safety lock button to the "ON" position, then press and hold the trigger to release steam. Once steam begins to discharge, you can switch the safety lock button to the “OFF/LOCK” position to enable continuous steam output. To stop the steam output, simply switch the safety lock button back to the "ON" position.

• Without pressing the children lock, the steam trigger can not be pressed.

Attention:

If there is no more water in the water tank, no more steam will be emitted when you push the steam trigger. The water must be refilled as follows:

• Pull the main plug out of the socket.
• Push the steam trigger until no more steam is escaping.
• Wait for cooling about 20 minutes.
• Slowly unscrew the safety cap and wait a few seconds.
• Slowly refill the water.
• Close the safety cap again.
