The quality of the air we breathe can affect our health. Fine powders are made up of
billions of tiny particles, microscopic amounts of fibre, soot, smog, viruses and mites with
their residues. Daily cleaning with SW5 really is more effective in ensuring a healthy
environment for children, in helping people affected by allergies, against pollen for exam-
ple, which comes in through open windows, carried by the wind thanks to its minimum
weight, and stays in the room for hours. When all this is breathed in, it can irritate our
mucosa. Our pets can also be good carriers of allergy triggering substances.
SW5 is fitted with the exclusive RAIN SYSTEM, a sophisticated filter system through the
highly -efficient nebulisation of water able to hold even the most difficult dust that is con-
sequently stopped and made heavier, helping it to deposit in the container. This system
is complete with a second paper filtering level specifically designed to withhold even the
smallest particles. The air is therefore purified from all dirt particles.
With regards to vacuum too, SW5 offers significant advantage in terms of suction effi-
ciency. The high speed motor yields excellent performance with, at the same time, the
possibility of managing the suction power by means of the electronic control on the grip
handle.
SW5 does not only offer suction power, but also an intelligent and environmentally
aware filtering system: no more paper filters to buy separately and then dispose of: as
well as saving on running costs, this appliance saves you time as you do not have to go
and buy anything, and produces less waste.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE VAPOR CLEANING SY-
STEM.
When using the Cleaning System, always use basic precaution, including the
following:
Warning – To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury:
1. Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug the Cleaning System from

For a more thorough cleaning of the electronic sensor,
we advise you to use a glass of white vinegar, or a
mixture of water (70%) and descaler (30%), to be
found in supermarkets or any specialized shop. Never
use plain, undiluted descaling products! You could
chemically damage the sensor’s surface! Leave the
product or the vinegar to act on the sensor for at least
2 hours (Fig. 33).
Fasten the sensor back onto the machine, by turning
clockwise.
Tighten without forcing.
Important! The first time the machine is to be used
following this operation, remember to discharge a
little steam onto a dirty cloth. Repeat this several
times, in order to empty the steam circuit of all
descaling product.
The machine is now ready for use once again!
Important! Before fastening the sensor, the brass
element functioning as contact with the metallic part
of the sensor must be cleaned (fig.A).
To efficaciously clean the component, we
recommend use of an antioxidant spray solution,
contributing to protection of the contact, also against
wear-and-tear.

In the present chapter, we will show you how to extend considerably your
machine’s working life thanks to an exclusive technology that allows to prevent
limescale formation in the steam boiler.
After prolonged periods of activity, limescale deposits make no longer usable the boilers
of most steam appliances found on the market. Your Multifunction Machine, thanks to an
exclusive patented technology, allows to inspect and clean the special electronic sensor
that monitors the boiler water level.
Other machines, because of limescale deposits, can no longer detect water levels; your
Multifunction Machine however, thanks to a simple operation you can carry out at home,
can be back as new. You will also be able to descale the boiler, further prolonging the
appliance efficiency.
We advise you to carry out this operation at least once a year, although the amount
of limescale forming in the boiler is very much dependent on the hardness of your
mains water. In any case, if you see a deterioration in your machine steam functions
performance, or limescale coming out of the steam accessories, that means it’s time to
descale sensor and boiler.
Proceed as follows:
Finish off cleaning and wait for the machine to cool down completely.
WARNING! Never, for no reason whatsoever, carry out your descaling operations
when the machine is still hot! You could burn yourself. Wait at least two hours
before proceeding with any maintenance operation.
Disconnect the plug from the mains. Remove the hose from the machine, to make
operations easier.
Remove the tank lid and purification tank (Fig. 15) and empty completely.
Carefully turn the machine upside down, identifying the sensor knob (Fig. 29).
Unscrew the electronic sensor by turning the knob anticlockwise, as shown in Fig. 29.
Use the specific funnel (M) to pour approximately half a glass of vinegar (approx.
0.1 litres) into the boiler (fig. 30). Fasten the sensor to the boiler entrance by turning
clockwise.
Tighten without forcing.
Return the appliance to its original position, and replace the tank. Close the tank lid and
refasten it (Fig. 1-6)..
Connect the appliance to the mains and turn on as usual.
Turn the boiler on by pressing the functions button (Fig. 11). Wait approximately 1 minute,
then turn the appliance off. Leave to work for approximately 12 hours, remembering to
shake the machine a little every now and then, to let the descaling solution work better.
Once the stated time has passed, unscrew the electronic sensor by turning the knob
anticlockwise (Fig. 29), take hold of the machine and empty out the boiler using a basin
or other such recipient.
After having descaled the boiler, clean the encrusted sensor with the help of a cutter
(Fig. 32), or alternatively a metal scourer. Scrape the metal part at the end of the sensor,
freeing it from the larger deposits.
Descaling the Boiler and Electronic Sensor

ASPIRATING FILTER:
This prevents particles that have not been fully filtered by the water from reaching the
motor.
Check the efficiency of filters when you are cleaning the purification tank.
If necessary, remove and rinse repeatedly the filter, separating it from the machine body
(Fig.24) with the help of small pliers (eyebrow tweezers will do). Wash the filter element
with plenty of cold water and neutral detergent.
Do not leave the sponge filter to dry on heaters or radiators! As soon as stains or mould
appear on the filters surface, replace them with new ones, to be found at a Service
Centre. The life of this particular component is strongly influenced by how much the
appliance is actually being used. In any case, it is advisable to dispose of (properly, not
by dumping them into the environment) the filters after about two years of daily use.
MOTOR ASPIRATING FILTER:
Designed to prevent various particles (from carpets, dust or dirt present in the air)
from reaching the motor. It is also used to filter the motor cooling air, a unique
function to be found only in SW5.
Check that the aspirating filter is clean, and therefore efficient, at least once a month, if
you use the vacuum cleaner daily.
If needed, remove and rinse the aspirating filter.
To remove it, it is necessary to first take off the tank and so avoid that, on turning the
appliance over, water be spilled on the motor fan. Find the lower cover (Fig.25) and
remove it by undoing the central screw, simply using your hands or a coin (Fig.26).
Remove the filter (Fig.27) and wash it with water and neutral detergent.
Before using the vacuum cleaner again, it is important that the filters are dry, so that they
can operate at their best.
Do not leave the aspirating filter to dry on heaters or radiators!

First, remove the upper protection and unpack the machine.
WARNING! Make sure the power cord is not plugged in before you start any ope-
ration.
Lay the appliance on the floor and open the tank lid as shown in Fig.1 and 2.
WARNING! Before you turn on the machine, for sucking up solids, remove the top of
the bucket (fig.3) and fill it with 0,7 litres of cold water (fig.4), paying attention that the
level corresponds to the mark printed on the separator (fig.4). The tank can be removed
for filling, if required (Fig. 5). Take off the boiler tank cap and fill the tank with about 0.9
litres water; replace the tank cap (Fig. 6). Close the tank lid and refasten it. Now you can
connect the appliance to the mains.

Insert the hose with its union into the SLALOM SYSTEM™ mouth at the front and push
the plug into the socket (Fig. 7).
The extraordinary patented design of SW5 makes the machine so easy to handle that
it will surprise you. The small front wheels and the hose union are both steering to allow
you maximum freedom of movement and also prevent the hose from wearing out: there
is no need to pull it, as is usually done with conventional vacuum cleaners, to drag the
machine towards oneself (Fig 8).
WARNING! The H.E.P.A. filter must abso-
lutely not be washed with water or any
liquid detergent, or it would suffer irrepara-
ble damage, and need replacing. Therefore,
should it show traces of mould and spores or
dark stains from the absorbed impurities, it will
have to be replaced.
Should the filter get accidentally wet, put it in a
dry place and when it is completely dried follow
the instructions to fit it back inside.
3. To buy a replacement filter, please refer only
to an Authorized Service Centre.

The appliance does not need any particular maintenance, but it is advisable to go through
the operations described below in order to ensure perfect efficiency.
After periods of intense use (or at least once every six months) it is necessary to check
the efficiency of all filtering elements.
Clean the exterior of the machine only with a wet cloth.
Do not use solvents or detergents which could damage the plastic surface.Should the
appliance fall or overturn, switch off immediately and disconnect from the mains. If the
machine gets in contact with water, dry it with a dry cloth and wait a few minutes before
switching on again.
Do not put away the appliance whilst the tank still contains dirty water, as this may cause
bad smells from mould and encrustations forming inside the tank.
Do not direct jets of water or high pressure steam at the appliance (even when
disconnected from the mains) to clean it!
IMPORTANT! Before carrying out any type of maintenance, turn the machine off
and disconnect from the mains.

Therapy treatment, much to the delight of everyone, including children.
AROMATHERAPY:
- Open the tank lid and take off the purification tank.
- Refill the tank with clean water, as described in chapter 3, but adding 1 litre water only.
- Add to the water a few drops of concentrated fragrance (Fig.18), available ONLY at
shops or Authorized Service Centres in different scents (for example: lily of the valley,
apple flowers, lavender, acacia, sandalwood, green tea, etc.).
- Reassemble the purification tank and the lid.
- Plug in. Turn on the appliance to medium speed.
- Pure and perfumed air will come out of the grille at the back, quickly refreshing all
rooms in the house, and getting rid of stuffiness and bad odours.
BALSAMOTHERAPY:
- Open the tank lid and take off the purification tank.
- Refill the tank with clean water, as described in chapter 3, but adding 1 litre water only.

IMPORTANT! Before using SW5 again,
make sure the divider inside the tank and
the nebulizers have been reassembled cor-
rectly. Do not use the appliance without the
divider or the nebulizers as this could lead to
serious damage.
WARNING! We strongly advise, after aspi-
rating liquids or solids, to rinse the appliance
inside and any accessory used, by emptying
the tank and aspirating 1-2 litres clean water.
Also, please do not leave any aspirated
liquid inside the tank, to prevent the forma-
tion of limescale or moulds, and consequen-
tly bad odours.
EASY CLEN SYSTEM™
No need to store up on bags or filters thanks to EASY CLEAN SYSTEM™. Cleaning the
purification tank is all that is required for top SW5 efficiency. At the end of your work,
empty the liquid waste of the purification tank as shown in Fig.15. To make this opera-
tion easier, the divider inside the tank can be taken off (Fig.16) and it is also advisable
to remove the nebulizers (Fig.17). Rinse tank, divider and nebulizers with abundant hot
water and neutral detergent until all residues and stains on the tank walls have been
removed.

A) Rectangular brush
Reliable and robust, it is suitable for any kind of floor. This multipurpose brush is supplied
with other accessories:
A1 parquet and delicate flooring vacuum cleaner
A2 carpet and rug accessory
A3 liquid suction rubber accessory for floors
The choice to use steam only, vacuum only or both is mostly compulsory and depends
on the accessory being used, but in many cases it is up to the user, according to the type
of dirt to be dealt with: if the dirt is stubborn, it is advisable to use steam; to go over quic-
kly or to dry, vacuum will do. The brush is equipped with four handy grippers to attach a
cloth. It also has a slider for locking the joint. The swivel joint allows for easy use even in
small spaces (e.g. underneath furniture).
Useful Tips
Very Dirty Surfaces
Brush the surface in order to remove most of the dirt, then give steam to dissolve it, and
stop the steam.
Lastly, turn on the vacuum and go over the surface by tilting the brush forward, drying
and vacuuming the dirt.
Medium Dirty Surfaces
Operate with both steam and vacuum (depending, however, on the accessory being
used), then turn off the steam. The brush must always be tilted forward (to facilitate
vacuuming). After finishing work, do not stop the vacuum immediately, to allow the dirty
water still inside the sucking tube to reach the recovery tank.
Carpets and rugs
The appliance can clean and disinfect any kind of carpet or rug. It will revive colours,
restore the original thickness and eliminate impurities from the carpet bottom layer.
If your carpets and rugs are dusty on top, start by using the big brush with vacuum only
(using the carpet accessory).
After vacuuming, use the appliance with simultaneous action (steam+vacuum), accor-
ding to the same procedure recommended for medium dirty surfaces. With particularly
stubborn and crusty stains, we recommend the use of 1 hole dress-fit + vacuum nozzle
(F).
Steam ensures a good cleaning in any case, however, to pretreat carpets or rugs with
detergents, be careful not to vacuum off any foam produced as it could end up inside the
motor! It is advisable to use low foam detergents.
Adding a cloth
Fixing a cloth on the brush is recommended when you go over delicate materials with
steam: fabric, but also delicate surfaces like parquet or marble, when you want to dis-
solve and spread again wax (steam on low and delicate cloth that won’t scratch)
10
B) Triangular brush
Same use as with the rectangular brush, in all cases when use of the latter is not possi-
ble or just awkward.
This brush too is equipped with other accessories:
B1 Carpet accessory
B2 Vacuum cleaner accessory
The brush has two handy grippers for attaching a cloth: for furnishing and furniture
fabrics (take care with velvet, leather, alcantara, silk and delicate surfaces):
- place a cloth on the brush
- give steam
- block the steam outlet and dry up by just vacuuming
C) Extension tubes
They are supplied to obtain the desired length, according to the type of work to be
done. Their heat insulation prevents any accident or risk of getting burned.
(D-D1) Window cleaner
The large and small window cleaners are for easy cleaning of glass and other smooth
surfaces. The choice of the large or small window cleaner depends on the surface area
to be cleaned.
Useful tip: in winter, pre-heat the window panes using steam, at a 5 or 10 cm
distance, before proceeding with any cleaning operation.
Operate the two functions, steam and vacuum, at the same time by slightly tilting the
window cleaner and moving down the window edges.
(E) One hole Dress-fit + (F) Large nozzle, (F1) Small nozzle, (G) Small round
brush
This accessory can be used on its own or equipped on top with a small round brush
(that just clicks in) to remove grease, or with vacuum nozzles, to allow grease or dust
to be sucked in when using vacuum only.
It is particularly recommended to clean and to remove grease:
- between tiles
- inside and outside ovens and cookers
- steel or enamel sinks
- wash basin, bidet, toilet, shower, bath
- taps and fittings (to remove scale)
Suitable for all difficult work. First brush with steam the area where grease is to be
removed. Stop the steam and switch to vacuum with the nozzle. For dusting radiators:
use steam, the dust will fall on the floor and you can then vacuum everything off. For
doors/windows frames: place a cloth on the edge of the frame and tilt the dress-fit while
operating steam; the cloth will gather the dirt. For cleaning the toilet: use steam on the
edge where water descends from, to remove scale. If necessary, use the small round
brush.
(H) Three holes Dress-fit + (I) Special brushes
This accessory, combined with special brushes, is particularly suitable for cleaning
the oven and worktops, thanks to its shape and size. The special brushes can reach
difficult and awkward places and do a thorough job. By turning them both ways you can
have a central or side/angled steam jet!

WARNING! Absolutely avoid blocking the blower tube air outlet, with your hands or by
pressing it against various surfaces (e.g. if you are working between sofas), in order to
prevent motor overheating.
Fill the water tank as described in chapter 3. Carry on with your cleaning operations,
choosing the best accessory for the job (see chapter 6).
To have maximum vacuum power, keep the handle shutter closed. The small nozzle will
turn out to be really precious for all those hidden spots in the kitchen, in the bathroom,
etc. To dust lamps, shades or other delicate objects, use the round brush K, reducing
vacuum speed with the main control, or else with the handle shutter, very useful to
change vacuum power directly while you are working.
If you are vacuuming dust or other kind of dirt, replace the tank water frequently.
If you only want to vacuum dust, refill the water tank in any case as described in chapter
3.
WARNING! To vacuum liquids, you do not have to fill the purification tank with
clean water! If great amounts of water are to be aspirated, you should certainly
use medium or low vacuum power, never maximum. The appliance can aspirate
up to 1.4 litres liquid.
Switch on the vacuum cleaner and press the functions button. If you want to aspirate
liquids spilled on the floor, you will have to use the extension tube (C), with the nozzle
inserted in, and connect it to the handle by simply pressing. To get maximum aspirating
power, keep the handle shutter constantly closed. To aspirate liquids from the floor,
medium vacuum speed is highly recommended, especially in case of large amounts
of water (e.g. overflow from wash basins). Maximum speed is advisable only for small
amounts of water.

Warning: when first using the iron, you may notice that some water mixed with
steam is released from the hotplate. It is advisable therefore not to direct the first
jet of steam at the fabric to be ironed. Act on the steam adjusting knob (C) to get
the required amount of steam. Press the button on the iron handle to control the
output of steam. The red light on the functions button will turn on when there is
no water.

Blower tube + Small nozzle (F1):
Thanks to the blower function it is possible to reverse air flux to blow, simply by replacing
the air outlet grille at the back with the proper blower tube, equipped with connecting
device (Fig.13). Insertion of the clear nozzle (F1) at the blower tube end will further incre-
ase blower function efficacy (Fig.14).
This function transforms our appliance into a mini compressor - perfect for cleaning
stereo systems, computers or narrow areas, etc.. It is also useful to blow away leaves
and plant debris built up in the garden.
WARNING! Absolutely avoid blocking the blower tube air outlet, with your hands or by
pressing it against various surfaces (e.g. if you are working between sofas), in order to
prevent motor overheating.
