• Please ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate matches that

of your socket prior to connect the steam cleaner to your mains power

supply.

• Only connect the appliance to a proper grounded socket.

• The appliance’s plug must ﬁt into the socket. The plug may not be modi-

ﬁed in any way. Do not use adaptors with appliances that have a protective

earths Unmodiﬁed plugs and appropriate sockets reduce the risk of an

electric shock.

• We recommend that the appliance only be operated from a socket pro-

tected by a residual current circuit-breaker. Please consult an electrician if

necessary,

• Never touch the plug with wet hands.

• Always disconnect the appliance from the mains by removing the mains

plug from the socket. Never pull on the cable!

• A faulty connection cable may only be replaced by a cable with identical

connection values. Send the appliance to the Appliance Customer Service

Centre for repair.

• Ensure that the connection values match those of the steam cleaner if

using an extension cable. Ask a specialist dealer if necessary.

• Ensure that the cable does not become a tripping hazard. It can not be

kinked, pinched or run over.

SPECIAL GROUPS OF PEOPLE

• Take extreme care if using the appliance in the presence of children or the

handicapped!

• Never leave the steam cleaner unattended particularly if children or handi-

capped persons are in the same room.

• The appliance must be stored out of the reach of children.

• Do not allow children to play with the packaging materials (plastic ﬁlm).

SET UP

The steam hose with steam gun must be connected to the appliance, and the

desired accessory must be attached before the Brio 225CC can be used.

Start by connecting the steam hose to the steam socket on the front of the Brio

225CC. To do this, ﬂip the cover ﬂap down, align the steam hose with the bottom

notch and push the connector of the steam hose ﬁrmly into the steam socket until it

clicks into place (Fig.4).

To remove the steam hose, press in both release buttons on the right and left hand

sides of the steam connector and pull it out from the steam socket (Fig.5).

Assemble the extension hoses if the steam cleaner is to be used to clean ﬂoors or

difﬁcult to reach areas. To do this, push the open end of a tube into the steam gun

until the release button of the steam gun clicks into place (Fig.6). Add one, or two

extension tubes if required. Press in the appropriate release button and pull the

tubes apart with a downward movement to take the extension tube off again (Fig.7).

The ﬂoor nozzle is delivered with a separate connector.

Assemble the connector as illustrated. Attach the ﬂoor

nozzle to the end of the extension tube. Ensure that

the nozzle clicks into place on assembly (Fig.8).

The ﬂoor nozzle is ideal for cleaning washable wall and hard ﬂoor surfaces. It may

be used with or without the cleaning cloth. However, we recommend using the cloth

to protect sensitive surfaces such as wood or linoleum. Place the ﬂoor nozzle on the

cleaning cloth and secure the overhanging material under the cleaning cloth clips

on the left and right. Press on the inner sides of the holder, then open the clips and

the cleaning cloth can be secured in place (Fig.9). To take the ﬂoor nozzle off again,

press in the appropriate release button (see Fig.7), and pull the nozzle off with a

downward movement.

The Brio 225CC has a range of attachment nozzles to enable the most effective and

thorough cleaning of different surfaces. First assemble the accessory adaptor so

that these attachments can be connected to the steam cleaner hose. The accessory

adaptor can be attached directly to both the steam gun and the end of one or more

extension tubes.

Ensure that the adaptor is ﬁrmly pushed on until it clicks into place (Fig.10). Press

in the appropriate release button and pull apart with a downward movement to take

the adapter off again.

Simply push the jet nozzle ﬁrmly into the accessory adaptor to attach it (Fig.11). This

nozzle makes it possible to clean hard to reach places such as corners, joints and

toilets with ease. The jet nozzle may be removed by pulling it off with a downward

movement.

STARTING UP

The two brush attachments are pushed ﬁrmly onto the accessory adaptor.

Even the most stubborn dirt can be removed from a variety of surfaces using the

small nylon brush (Fig.12) The larger nylon brush, (Fig.13) is suitable for heavy

staining on less sensitive materials such as stainless steel or stone. The brush

nozzles are removed by simply pulling them off with a downward movement.

The 2-in-1 nozzle consists of a right—angled steam attachment onto which the win-

dow cleaner can be attached. Push the right—angled steam attachment ﬁrmly onto

the detail nozzle. Pull the cotton cover over the nozzle for more thorough cleaning

and to protect the work surface (Fig .14). Attach the rubber blade to tie right-

angled steam attachment if windows, mirrors or tiles are to be cleaned (Fig. 15).

CAUTION

Glass may crack if subjected to thermal shock! Pre-heat areas of glass prior to

steam cleaning by spraying steam in a wider arc from a distance of 20-25 cm.

Slowly reduce the distance to lO-l5 cm to heat the glass up further.

The 225CC has a built-in water tank holding 1.5 liters. The steam cleaner must

always be disconnected from the mains when ﬁlling or topping up with water.

Unscrew the tank cap (Fig. 16) by pressing the cap down and simultaneously

turning it counter-clockwise. Use the funnel and measuring jug supplied when

ﬁlling with water (Fig. 17).

CAUTION

Always test the steam cleaner ﬁrst on inconspicuous or invisible areas of the

surfaces or fabrics to be cleaned to check their tolerance to hot steam.

• Steam may result in bleaching of painted/varnished wood.

• Steam may discolor shiny plastics.

• Acrylic, velvet and linen react very sensitively to the temperature of steam

• Do not use the steam cleaner on Dralon ﬁbres without ﬁrst having carried out

a suitability test on a concealed area. Reliable cannot be held responsible for

damage to objects, materials, people, animals or plants that occurs due to

unsuitable use of hot steam or due to improper use of the appliance.

Only ﬁll with pure water without additives of any kind, e.g. perfume, cleaning

agents alcohol, as they could damage the machine and make it dangerous to use.

It is advisable to use distilled water to prevent limescale deposits if your water is

very hard.

CAUTION

• Do not exceed the maximum quantity of 1.5 litres when ﬁlling the tank!

• Screw the tank cap ﬁrmly back on by turning it clockwise under pressure.

• Tip: The heating up time will be shortened if warm water is used when ﬁlling.

OPERATING THE BRIO

Plug the steam cleaner‘s plug into a proper installed socket and switch the

appliance on by pressing the On/Off switch (Fig.19).

The green operating pilot lamp and red heating pilot lamp (Fig.19) light up. The

operating pilot lamp lights up as soon as the 225CC has been plugged in and

switched on. The heating pilot lamp indicates that the steam cleaner is currently

heating up. The operating temperature is reached after approximately 8 minutes

and the red heating pilot lamp goes turns off the appliance is now ready for use.

WARNING

Never aim the steam outlet of the steam gun at people animals, plants or

electrical systems (e.g. oven or electric shock)!

Release the locking device (child-proof device) by pushing the black triangular pin

on the right—hand side of the steam gun towards the left.

NOTE

The Brio 225CC is ﬁtted with an over-heating safety feature. The appliance

will switch off automatically on reaching a temperature of 180°C to prevent

overheating. Disconnect from the main immediately by removing the plug.

The appliance may be operated again after a 30-minute cooling period.

IMPORTANT

WHEN THE UNIT IS FIRST ACTIVATED, THERE MAY BE A SMALL AMOUNT

OF CONDENSATION BUILT-UP IN THE HOSE. BEFORE USE, HOLD THE STEAM

HEAD OVER A TOWEL OR INTO A SINK/TUB TO REMOVE ANY BUILT-UP

CONDENSATION. CLEANING IS NOW READY TO BEGIN.

Do not aim the steam outlet at one point too long. Loosen the dirt by moving the

steam jet backwards and forwards. The ﬂow rate of the steam emitted can be

regulated by turning the steam controller. Turn the steam controller clockwise for

less steam and counter-clockwise for more steam (ﬁg. 21).

Do not tip or tilt the appliance by more than 90° during use and ensure that the

appliance always stands on a ﬁrm base. One full tank is enough for a maximum of

50 minutes of use. Do not leave the machine unsupervised while switched on and if

necessary use the childproof lock to secure the steam switch. To do this, press the

triangular black pin on the left-hand side of the steam gun into the right.

WARNING

The housing and accessories become hot during operation! Allow the appliance

to cool down before changing the accessories. Never open the tank cap while the

steam cleaner is switched on as the tank is under pressure!

TOPPING UP WITH WATER

The tank must be topped up if the steam ﬂow emitted starts to decrease. Switch

off the steam cleaner by pressing the On/Off switch. The green operating pilot

lamp goes off. Press the steam button on the steam gun to release the remaining

pressure and then lock the gun. Remove the main plug from the socket and allow

the appliance to cool down. Remove the tank cap by pressing it down and turning

it counter clockwise.

WARNING

Hot steam may escape on opening! There is a risk of burns from the cap thread

and the tank!

Top up with water using the measuring jug and funnel (see page 10, Filling the

Water Tank), then carefully close the tank cap again. The steam cleaner can now

be plugged in again and switched on. The 225CC is ready for use as soon as the

heating pilot lamp goes off.

When ﬁnished switch the appliance off. The green operating pilot lamp goes

off. Press the steam button on the steam gun (Fig.22) to release the remaining

pressure. Secure the steam gun by pushing the locking pin on the left—hand side

of the handle into the right. Remove the plug from the socket and allow the appli-

ance to cool down. Empty the water tank so that no deposits can settle (Fig. 23).

Do not close the water tank until it has dried out completely. The steam cleaner

must cool down completely before being put away. Store the appliance so that it is

out of the reach of children. The extension tube with assembled ﬂoor nozzle may

be inserted in the parking holder on the back of appliance for storage purposes or

for short breaks while working.

WARNING

Always ensure before cleaning or maintaining the steam cleaner that it is switched

off and unplugged from the main power supply.

Only clean the appliance by wiping over the housing with a lightly moistened cloth.

Do not use any cleaning agents, abrasives or alcohol since they may damage the

housing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 ﬁlling operations at the latest if

your water is hard. To rinse your steam cleaner start by adding water to the tank

and giving it a good shake to clean it, this will loosen any lime-scale that has been

deposited on the bottom of the steam cleaner.

The water tank should be treated with lime—scale remover approximately every 6

months to prolong the steam cleaner‘s life. Place one limescale removal packet in

1 litre of warm water and ﬁll the water tank with it. Allow the solution to work for

approximately 30 minutes and then pour away the water with the dissolved solids.

Repeat this process if necessary and then rinse out the tank with water. Then pour

out the water and allow the tank to dry out completely before closing it.

DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE

If the appliance‘s useful life has come to an end, the appliance should be rendered

unusable by removing the plug from the socket and cutting off the power cable.

Please dispose of the appliance properly through your public waste authority.
