INTRODUCTION The symbols shown below are used in this instruction book to draw attention to specific details.
Warning ! In the in terest of safety, be extremely careful
Notice: It contains some supplementary information and useful advice for correct use of the appliance.
USEFUL INFORMATION ON STEAM CLEANING:
Water, in the form of steam, allows for an environment-friendly and more thorough cleaning than with modern detergents. Like steam, water is used sparingly. Due to its very high temperature and considerable capacity, the steam produced by the appliance provides for thorough cleaning, dissolving grease and dust particles that are usually difficult to eliminate. The steam cleans and sanitizes eliminating bacteria, mites, germs, and pathogenic agents, collects dust particles together and prevents the development of dust-related allergies. Thanks to your steam cleaner, you can take now advantage of all this while doing your housework as well as giving your contribution to environment protection.
I N S T R U CT I O N S FOR USE GENERAL WARNING •Use the equipment only for its originally intended use. •Connect the appliance only if the voltage coincides with the voltage on the characteristics plate and if the power plug is earthed. •Do not pull the plug out from the socket with the cable. •Do not pull the appliance by its power cable. •The use of electrical extensions is not advised. Should the use of extensions be necessary, then use those marked with the safety approval and earthed. Unwind the extension completely before use. •Disconnect the appliance when not in use and before filling the boiler and replacing the steam tube. •Before using the appliance, check that the cable, the plug, and the steam tube are undamaged. •Never use the appliance to clean electrical equipment or plugs. •Never have wet hands or feet wet when the appliance is connected. •Never put the appliance into any type of liquid. •Never empty the boiler when the water inside is still hot. •Never leave the equipment unattended when it is connected to the power or when it is on. •Only authorized service centers should be used for any repair. •The electrical cable can only be replaced by an authorized service center. •Never direct the steam jet towards people or animals. •Never touch the steam jet with your hands. •Never cover the equipment; it could overheat. •Never let children or untrained persons use the appliance. •if the appliance is lent to other people, always supply the instruction book with it.
I N S T R U CT I O N S FOR USE PRACTICAL ADVICE
Warning!
•Always ensure that using the steam cleaner is suitable for the materials or the surfaces to be cleaned. •Follow the manufacturer’s instructions as regards the cleaning of materials. •If there is no information available, always carry out a test on a less visible part of the material. In the event of damage, do not use the steam cleaner. •Always use the recommended accessories. •Always apply a cotton cloth to the brushes to avoid scratches. • Always work from the top downwards on vertical surfaces. Place a cloth under the surface to be cleaned to collect dirt. •Use the extension tubes only when necessary. •Spray steam on small surfaces each time. Once the dirt has dissolved, it is much easier to remove. •For more stubborn dirt, treat the surfaces directly with the steam jet. •To clean stains from upholsters or from carpets and rugs, spray the steam on to the area to be cleaned and then go over lightly with the triangular brush, without pressing down. Leave the surface to be treated to dry, and then check if the stain has disappeared. If the outcome is unsatisfactory, repeat the operation. •For delicate surfaces such as wood, spray on a little steam and leave to dry. •Rugs must first be cleaned with the vacuum, and then with the steam cleaner.

AQUAJEBBO IS THE EFFECTIVE REMEDY AGAINST MITES
Mites are parasites invisible to the naked eye , responsible for annoying allergies. They feed on diverse organic remains and for this reason their ideal habitat is amidst the folds of mattresses, blankets, rugs and car pets. Mites live in large colonies, especially in Springtime. Just imagine that in one gram of dust, you can find as many as 15.000 mites!
