Stain remover steam gun
Preparation:
(only for TDS2540, TDS2545)
Ensure that the appliance is not connected to the
mains. Remove connection plug for the iron (5) if
this is connected. Then lift the cover (23) and insert
the connection plug for the steam gun in the correct
position - with slot (22) to the left - Then follow the
same steps as for ironing, the indicator lights and
switches operate in exactly the same way.
Important:
When the gun is being used, while pushing Steam
release button (18), there might be some water
drops, but this is normal.
Attention
• Use the steam gun in intervals of no longer than
10 seconds at a time.
• Direct the first steam jets towards a cloth in order
to eliminate any possible water condensation
residue from the steam tube.
• Never direct the steam jet at garments that are
being worn by people or animals.
• Do not use the brush extension for delicate
fabrics such as silk or cashmere.
To refresh fabrics
Refreshing garments with the steam gun can
lessen creases and wrinkles, although this does not
substitute ironing with the iron.
For better results, hang the clothes which you
would like to refresh on hangers.
With diffuser (21) the sprayed steam enables
superficial fabric creases to be lessened.
Fully insert the accesory into the concentrator (19).
Press the steam release button (18) for the steam
supply and direct the jet towards the fabric that you
would like to refresh. Maintain a minimum distance
of 10 cm to avoid getting the fabric too damp.
To remove fabric stains
The steam gun can help to remove washable, fresh
stains.
The concentrator (19) and brush extension (20)
supply a concentrated jet of steam that makes it
possible to remove certain types of fabric stains
• If the stain is not fresh, the garment should be
washed in a washing machine or hand-washed
according to the garment care label.
• For stubborn or non-washable stains, take the
garment to a specialist cleaning centre or dry
cleaners.
Use the concentrator (19) to direct the steam jet
at the stain, in direction from the outer side of
the garment into the fabric placing a sponge or
cloth underneath it to absorb the dirt. The brush
extension (20) can also be used with gentle action
to support the cleaning effect.
If the above does not solve the problem, get
in touch with an authorised technical service
centre.

Cleaning the Boiler
To extend the life of your steam generator and to
avoid any build up of scale, it is essential that you
rinse out the boiler after several hours of use. If your
water is hard, increase the frequency.
Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the
boiler, as they could damage it.
1. Check that the appliance is cold and unplugged
for more than 2 hours, and that the removable
water tank (1) is empty.
2. Place your appliance on the edge of your kitchen
sink.
3. Unscrew the boiler drainage plug located on the
bottom of the appliance using a coin.
4. Holding your steam generator in upside down
position, and using a jug, fill the boiler (in the
base unit) with 1/4 litre of water
