Before using the stain remover gun, it is advis-
able to carefully read these instructions which
allow a correct classification of stains and sup-
ply accurate advice on the most appropriate
way of operating.

In order to act properly on stains, it is important
to be able to distinguish them.
Identifying the stain means understanding its
origin and age. This allows you to avoid unsuc-
cessful attempts which often, as well as not pro-
ducing an optimal result, can also be damaging.
"THE AGE"
All RECENT stains can be removed with the
stain remover gun without having to wash the
item. As they get older, stains attach themselves
to the fabric's fibres and in some cases, steam
cannot remove them. In such cases it is neces-
sary to wash the item. If the recently stained
fabrics are treated immediately with mineral wa-
ter, the stain does not attach itself to the fibres
and subsequent steam cleaning with the stain
remover gun will prove quicker and more effec-
tive.
"THE ORIGIN"
Stains are produced from substances of various
origins and according to the base of the pre-
dominant substance they can be classified as
having the following origin:
• ANIMAL (protein base): soup and meat
sauce, milk and cream, blood, sweat, egg,
urine, vomit.
• VEGETABLE (tannin base): beer, coffee,
chocolate, Coca-Cola, fruit, wine, tea.
• VARIOUS (specific stains): paint, lip-stick,
biro, tar, rust, perfume.
To better identify the origins of the staining sub-
stance you can help yourself by using your sens-
es. The shape, touch, colour and location are
very important (TAB.1).

CONNECTION
• Proceed as described in the "Preparation for
use" paragraph.
• Open the cover of the built-in socket (15)
(fig.12), insert the one-piece plug (16)
(fig.13).
• At the first steam request, a few drops of wa-
ter mixed with steam may come until the tem-
perature stabilises. It is advisable to direct the
first jet of steam onto a cloth.
To obtain steam from the stain remover gun,
press button (19). The powerful jet of steam pro-
duced can be used effectively as follows, de-
pending on the type and size of stain.
• If operaiiting on a SUPERFICIAL STAIN, you
must direct the jet of steam to skim the fabric
in proximity of the stain in order to project the
dirt with the pressure against a cloth used to
collect it (fig. 14).
• If operating on a DEEP STAIN, you must turn
the item inside out and act on the fabric from
the inside. After resting it on a sponge, direct
the jet of steam onto the stain so that the dis-
solved dirt can exit from the opposite side of
the fabric and be absorbed by the sponge
(fig. 15).
• Simple methods are often the most effective:
a shot of steam can sometimes be sufficient
to eliminate even the most resistant stains.

• To avoid halos around the stain it is advisable
to point the steam jet nearby the borders of
the stain first and then towards the center of it
gradually.
• Make sure that the stain has been completely
removed from the fabric before ironing it, as
the iron's heat fixes the stain permanently.
• To obtain an even better result, it is advisable
to perform the cleaning operations on an iron-
ing table equipped with a suction board.
• DO NOT use the steam on bloodstains as
blood coagulates with heat thus fixing the
stain permanently.
• Should the stain persist, do not dry the item
before acting a second time. Should the stain
persist even after the second attempt, it is ad-
visable to contact a qualified dry cleaning
centre.
