Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the SC 3 Deluxe involves snapping the desired nozzle into the steam gun or extension tube until it clicks. To ensure longevity, always insert the descaling cartridge before filling the tank for the first time. During use, monitor the LED indicator to ensure the unit has reached the appropriate temperature. Maintenance primarily consists of replacing the descaling cartridge when indicated by the system. After each session, empty any remaining water from the tank, allow the machine to cool, and store the accessories in the integrated storage slots to prevent loss. Keep the floor cloths clean by washing them regularly to prevent streaking during future cleaning cycles.
