BACKWATER TANK
The backwater tank collects dirty water. It must contain a spe-
cific quantity of water (between Min and Max), which acts as a
filter. Once the water is dirty, it must be changed, since it filters
better when it is clean.
2 FILTER BASKET
Located above the tank, the basket ensures proper filtering.
It is composed of a plastic base and a cylinder-shaped metal
wire net containing a float gauge, and is equipped with two
polyester filters (F1 and F2). The filter basket must always be
kept clean, and it must be carefully dried before the vacuum
function is activated. Do not use the machine if the polyester
filters are not inserted in the filter basket!
3 TANK COVER
The tank cover opens by pressing the handle button. It provi-
des access to the filter basket and the backwater tank to pour
in the filter water and perform regular cleaning operations.
When closed, the handle allows you to carry the machine ea-
sily. Do not press the open button while lifting up the machine!
4 SUCTION/STEAM SOCKET
The suction/steam socket is protected by a small door, which
can be opened by pulling up on the notch. Cleaning and iro-
ning devices can be connected to the socket. It is equipped
with electric contacts, a steam connection, and a suction tube.
5
SIDE FILTER COVER
The side filter, which is manufactured in antistatic material,
releases water-filtered air into the environment. You should
periodically check the filter and replace it when necessary. A
damaged or dirty filter makes cleaning more difficult and can
reduce the suction power of the machine. To access the filter,
simply open the side door where it is located.
6
BOTTOM FILTER COVER
The bottom filter, located on the underside of the machine,
prevents dust from entering the motor's cooling ducts. This
filter is not part of the cleaning circuit. Check it periodically
and clean it with water when necessary. Dry the filter before
putting it back in place. To access the filter, simply rotate the
cover in the direction indicated by the arrows. When the bot-
tom filter is kept clean, the motor performs better, preventing
malfunctions.
7
POWER CORD COMPARTMENT
Located beneath the backwater tank, the power cord com-
partment can be opened by pulling from the notch. It is used to
store the power cord tidily in between uses. The notch allows
you to close the compartment even while the power cord is
extracted.
8 ANTENNA
The antenna, which is manufactured in stainless steel wire
and inserted into the two holes on the machine, supports part
of the weight of the flexible hose, helping to lighten work du-
ring cleaning. Place the flexible hose on the antenna as shown
in the figure. It can be removed before putting the machine
away.

9
FUNNEL CAP
The cap that covers the water tank can be opened while the
boiler is under pressure. To open it, pull up on the plastic ring.
The cap also acts as a funnel to fill the tank with water. Turn
the plastic ring from the position to the
sliding piece up as shown in the figure. Then, insert the cap,
turned upside down, into the tank opening. Before closing the
tank with the cap, push the sliding piece down into the closed
position and turn the plastic ring to the original position.

PRESSURE GAUGE
The gauge indicates the boiler pressure level.
It functions whether the machine is plugged in or not.

MOTOR SPEED REGULATION BUTTON
Push the button towards the + symbol, to turn the suction mo-
tor on and increase suction power. Push the button toward
the – symbol to decrease the motor power. The motor auto-
matically turns off if the button is held in either position for
a few seconds. The suction power is indicated by a red light
indicator beneath the symbol: slow and intermittent = low po-
wer, always on= maximum power.
16
DETERGENT / DISINFECTANT BUTTON
Pressing the button allows detergent to come out together
with the steam. The relative light indicator below the button
turns on.
17
HOT WATER BUTTON
Pressing the button allows a strong hot water jet to come out
together with the steam. The relative light indicator below the
button turns on.
18 STEAM READY INDICATOR
This indicator lights up once the boiler has reached operating
pressure. Wait for it to light up before using the steam fun-
ction. Once it has lit up the first time, you can ignore the indi-
cator status throughout the rest of operation.
19
EMPTY TANK INDICATOR
This indicator goes on, accompanied by an acoustic signal
(buzzer), when the cold tank is empty. It indicates that the
cold tank must be filled with water (remove the funnel cap and
follow instructions provided in point 9).
20
IRON/ELECTRIC BRUSH ON/OFF INDICATOR
When the LED is on, the iron and electric brush accessories
can be used (optional). These accessories cannot be used
when the motor is running or when the "detergent" and "Hot
water" functions are active.
21 DETERGENT / DISINFECTANT BOTTLE
The bottle contains the water-detergent solution. The bottle
can be removed when this function is not used.
