• Press the ON/OFF switch (
B
).
•
Wait for the steam ready indicator lamp
(C) to go out. The device is now ready to
be used.
• Wear Steam & Walk like a normal rucksack.
Adjust the front buckles and fasten them to
ensure suitable comfort.
• Before using the cloth supplied, steam the
surface to be treated with the brush for 15-
20 seconds in order to stabilise the ap-
pliance operating temperature.
• The jet of steam is activated by gently pres-
sing the brush on the surface to be treated.
• Apply the cloth to the brush using the Velcro
on it (fig.4).
Cloth (
O
) is suitable for cleaning smooth sur-
faces. Its special composition means that it
dries surfaces well.
Cloth (
P
) is instead suitable for cleaning
rough surfaces, such as terracotta, and
cleans more thoroughly.
• You can begin use according to the advice
given in the next paragraph.
• After particularly intense use, the cloth may
be soaked in dirt and steam. If so, replace
the cloth with a clean one.

• Please pay careful attention when cleaning
wooden surfaces and treated terracotta floo-
ring as prolonged use of steam may damage
the wax, polish or colour of the surfaces to
be cleaned. We therefore recommend only
steaming these surfaces for short periods of
time, or cleaning using a previously steamed
cloth.
• To clean efficiently, start from the corners of
the rooms, moving backwards to clean the
surface.
• Always supply steam when pushing the
brush forwards, then pick up the dirt, pulling
the brush backwards (without supplying
steam).
• For a more efficient collection, pull the brush
towards you in an “S” shape (fig. 5).

•
To clean the vertical surfaces, lock the brush
in order that the joint remains fixed.
To do so, simply lower the lock as shown in
figure6.
• To release the joint, restore the lock to its ori-
ginal position.
It is also useful to lock the joint when resting
the brush during storage.
