- Ixgħel u Saħħan: After plugging in, the power indicator light will illuminate. The appliance will begin to heat the water. Wait for the 'steam ready' indicator light to turn on (or off, depending on the model's specific indicator logic, typically indicating readiness when it goes out or changes color). This usually takes a few minutes.
- Initial Steam Discharge: Before cleaning, point the steam gun away from yourself and any surfaces, then press the steam trigger for a few seconds. This will release any condensed water from the hose, ensuring only dry steam is used for cleaning. It is normal for some water to be discharged initially.
- Aġġusta l-Output tal-Fwar: Use the steam regulator dial on the main unit to adjust the steam intensity according to the surface being cleaned and the level of dirt.
- Tindif tal-Uċuħ:
- Hard Floors (Tiles, Linoleum): Attach the floor brush with a cloth. Move the brush slowly over the surface to allow the steam to penetrate and lift dirt. For heavily soiled areas, leave the brush stationary for a few seconds.
- Twapet u twapet: Use the floor brush without a cloth for light refreshing. For deeper cleaning, use with a cloth and move slowly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Kitchen Surfaces (Stovetops, Sinks): Use the small brush or steam concentrator nozzle for targeted cleaning of grease and grime.
- Tapizzerija u Drappijiet: Use the small brush with a cloth. Hold the accessory slightly above the fabric and move quickly to avoid over-wetting. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Twieqi u Mirja: Use the squeegee attachment. Apply steam to a small section, then wipe with the squeegee. Finish with a clean, dry cloth for streak-free results.
