IPC S 5008M, Instruction Manual

English

- 14 -

The user must ensure that the rooms where the steam generator 

is to be used comply with all safety standards and regulations 

regarding:

•  efficient electrical installations;

•  the  absence  of  explosive,  inflammable,  toxic  or  corrosive 

substances.

Use of the appliance in particular conditions requiring use of 

class II appliances only is not recommended.

Filling the tanks.

Fill the “cleaning solution” tank (fig. 2) with cleaning product 

diluted according to the instructions given on the bottle.

IMPORTANT: 

Use only liquid cleaning products.

Warning

Under  no  circumstances  must  highly  acid,  alkaline  or 

oxidising products be used.

Ask your dealer for a catalogue of possible cleaning prod

-

ucts to be used according to the type of washing to be 

carried out or surface to be treated.

IMPORTANT:

 always fill the water tank with clean water (fig. 3) 

with a hardness of between 5° and 15° TH. 

Warning

Never  fill  the  water  tank  with  detergent  solution  as  this 

would cause irreparable damage to the steam generator.

Connecting the vacuum/injection tube.

Insert  the connection into  the outlet in the front of the machine 

and be sure that  the right hooks have been properly placed 

(Fig. 4).

Connection of the wet vacuum cleaner.

Insert the wet vacuum cleaner in the special housing placed 

in the trolley. Connect the cable to the electricity supply socket 

located on the control panel.

Connect the wet vacuum cleaner’s nozzle to the device by 

means of apposite flexible suction hose (fig. 5).

Electrical connections.

The steam generator should be connected to the mains in ac-

cordance with current legislation. 

Warning

The highest allowed net impedance at the electrical connection 

point (refer to technical data) is not to be exceded.

Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage re-

quired by the appliance and indicated on the ratings plate (fig. 

1). Protect the electric cable from accidental crushing.

Failure  to  respect  the  above  conditions  absolves  the 

manufacturer  from  all  liability  and  represents  negligent 

use of the product.

Warning

Protection against accidental contact.

Before removing the panels, unplug the appliance from the 

mains. Before using the appliance, make sure the panels are 

correctly assembled and fixed.

Failure to respect  these instructions could result in electric 

shock and absolves the manufacturer from all liability.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Cleaning fabric.

Before treating fabric with the steam generator, always check 

its resistance to steam on a part not in view.

Test by steaming the surface intensely and then leaving to dry. 

Make sure the form and colour of the fabric are not affected.

Warning

Cleaning coated or painted surfaces.

Never aim the steam at glued edges as the strips may become 

detached. Do not use the appliance on unsealed wooden or 

parquet floors.

Take care when cleaning kitchen or domestic furniture, doors, 

parquet, painted surfaces or surfaces coated with synthetic 

products.

If prolonged use is made of steam, wax, French polish, synthetic 

coatings or paint may become detached, deteriorate or be 

marked. You are recommended to clean these surfaces with 

a  steamed  cloth  only,  or  steam  them  briefly  using  a  double 

layer of cloth.

Cleaning glazed surfaces.

To avoid damaging frame seals, avoid aiming the flow of steam 

directly towards the sealed points of the glazed surfaces.

When outside temperatures are low, particularly during winter, 

heat the surface of the glass by lightly steaming the entire 

surface before cleaning. This compensates for the difference 

in temperature between the internal and external surfaces, 

reducing the surface tensions which might otherwise cause 

the glass to break.

Warning

For sanitising, refer to the relative protocols.

USING THE STEAM GENERATOR

Control panel (fig. 6).

A - Main switch 0-I.

B - Steam switch. 

C - Solution injection pump switch. 

D - Clean water tank level indicator.

E - Steam ready indicator.

F - Steam flow regulator.

Controls on hand grip (fig. 7.

G - Steam switch.

H - Solution injection pump button.

I - Wet vacuum switch.

Turning the steam generator on:

The steam generator is turned on via the main switch A. In 

the “I” position (fig. 6), the steam production boiler filler pump 

is activated.

The appliance can be used to vacuum up liquids by turning 

the suction motor on via the switch “I” on the hand grip (fig. 7)
