1. Attach the appropriate accessory for the cleaning task at hand, as
shown in fig. 1, until you hear it click in place. When you connect up
the brush (8), the Vaporetto Mop will stand up unaided. To release ac-
cessories press the accessory release button (K) and pull off the ac-
cessory.
NOTE: Accessories (4), (5), (6) and the power cable are stored in the
accessory holder \ support for storing the appliance (3).
2. Adjust the grip height as required by turning the grip height adju-
stment ring while pulling on the grip. When you release the ring the
grip will lock in position.
3. Release the water tank (G) by pressing the two tank release buttons
(E) while pulling on the tank (fig. 2).
4. Turn the water tank cap (G) anticlockwise to open it and fill the tank
with ordinary tap water (max 600 cc) (fig. 3). If your tap water is parti-
cularly hard (rich in magnesium and minerals which produce lime
scale), we recommend you use demineralised water to ensure longer
life for your appliance.
5. Close the cap (F) and put the tank back in its housing, proceeding to
perform the same operations as described above in reverse.
6. Connect the power cable to the power cable socket (J) and then plug
it into a grounded electrical outlet. Hook the power cable to the an-
chor hook (M) so that it will not get in the way while you are cleaning
