How to use

Fill the water tank with clean tap water according to the fill indicator and securely close the tank cap. Plug the unit into a compatible 220–240 V outlet and switch it on; allow the device to heat up until the ready indicator signals sufficient steam pressure. Direct steam through the nozzle or attached accessory at a safe distance from surfaces and skin, moving evenly over the area to loosen dirt.

After use, switch off, unplug and allow the appliance to cool before emptying any remaining water and storing.

Usage recommendations

Use distilled or demineralised water in areas with hard tap water to reduce scale buildup. Follow manufacturer instructions for accessory selection and safe distances to avoid damage to sensitive surfaces. Allow surfaces to dry fully before contact or use, and store the unit upright in a dry place out of reach of children.
