Assembly and Use:
1.
Remove all items from packaging and verify that all parts are included as per list. The Steam
Cleaner has an accessory compartment that houses all accessories which is located under the main cover. You open this by pressing the yellow button on the back of the Steam Cleaner just above the wheels, lifting the unit handle upwards and then separating the top and bottom of the unit.
2.
Connect the Steam Hose to the steam cleaner as pictured. Pull down the yellow cover that is over the nozzle hole on the steamer and insert the steam hose using the connector nozzle located on the end of the steam hose. This should be securely in place and you should hear a click. To remove the steam hose, press in both release buttons on either side of the steam connector and pull from the socket. Do NOT remove steam hose whilst the product is in use, allow to cool first
3.
Select the desired accessories based on the area you wish to steam clean and connect to the steam cleaner. Each accessory can be used as follows;
Extension Tubes: Assemble the extension tubes if the steam cleaner is to be used to clean floors or difficult to reach areas. You can extend the steam hose by adding up to all 3 of the extension tubes if required. To attach the tubes, push the open end of the tube into the steam gun until the release button, pictured above, clicks into place.
To remove the tubes, press in the release button and pull the tube downwards.

Floor Nozzle: Assemble floor nozzle when cleaning the required floor area, the nozzle should be used with the extension tubes as above. Attach the floor nozzle to the end of the extension tube; ensure that the nozzle clicks into place. The floor nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable floor coverings and also has its own cleaning cloth cover which is included in the accessories. The floor nozzle can be used with or without the cleaning cloth, however, the cleaning cloth is recommended to protect sensitive surfaces such as wood or linoleum.
To remove the floor nozzle, press in the release button and pull nozzle off in downward movement.
WARNING: You MUST patch test an area of any flooring to make sure it is safe to use the steam cleaner on. Some material may be heat sensitive. Refer to flooring manufacturer’s instructions or material guidance.
Accessory Adaptor: The accessory adaptor is for use with the steam cleaner’s variety of accessories; this allows effective and thorough cleaning of many different surfaces. The adaptor can be attached directly to the steam gun on the end of the steam hose or to the extension tubes. It is fitted by pushing onto the end of the steam gun or the extension hose and should click into place. To remove, press in the release button and pull of in a downward motion.
Detail Nozzle: The detail nozzle is ideal for cleaning smaller or more specific areas. The detail nozzle can be used on its own for cleaning or fitted with one of the brush nozzles, the jet nozzle or the 2 in 1 window attachment.
The detail nozzle attaches to the accessory adaptor; this is done by pushing the nozzle onto the adaptor and turning a quarter turns in the direction indicated on the nozzle. To remove the detail nozzle the sequence is reversed by turning the nozzle a quarter turn in the opposite direction and then pulling off in a downward movement.
Jet Nozzle: The jet nozzle makes it possible to clean hard to reach places throughout the home. To use the jet nozzle the detail nozzle should first be fitted (as above) and the jet nozzle firmly pushed onto the detail nozzle to attach it. To remove it, pull off in a downward movement

Brush Nozzles: The brush nozzles offer different levels of cleaning for different materials and can be great for those heavier stains. To use the brush nozzles the detail nozzle should first be fitted (as above) and then the brush nozzles to be firmly pushed onto the detail nozzle. To remove, pull off in a downward movement.
2 in 1 Nozzle: The 2 in 1 nozzle consists of a right angled steam attachment which the window cleaning attachment can then be fitted onto. The right angled steam attachment can be used for smaller surface areas. It also has a cotton cleaning cloth that comes with the accessories for a more thorough clean and to protect the work surface; this is elasticated and is simply pulled over the right angled steam attachment. This is then attached to the detail nozzle by simply pushing on. The window cleaning attachment can be added to the steam attachment, this is ideal for use on windows, mirrors or tiles as it has a rubber blade to wipe away any vapour residue.
Caution:
Glass may crack if subjected to thermal shock.
Pre-heat areas of glass prior to steam cleaning by spraying steam onto the surface from a distance of 20-25cm. Slowly reduce the distance so that the temperature of the glass has adjusted.
4. Once you have chosen the required accessory, you must now fill the water tank. The Steam
Cleaner has a built in water tank with a capacity of 1.4 Litres. The steam cleaner MUST be disconnected from the mains when filling or topping up with water. To fill, unscrew the tank cap
(pictured right) by pressing the cap down and simultaneously turning it anti-clockwise. Use the measuring jug and funnel supplied to fill with required amount of water. Do NOT exceed the maximum capacity of 1.4 Litres. Replace the cap by pushing down and turning clockwise simultaneously. Do NOT refill whilst still hot, allow to cool first and then follow the filling instructions.
NOTE: One full tank of water at 1.4 Litres is enough for approx. 40 minutes use. Do NOT exceed this without checking the water levels in the tank
