2.Remove the Water Fill Cap by unscrewing it from the Water Tank in a counter clockwise motion.

3.Remove the Cap and the attached water tube and siphon.

4.Fill Water Tank completely with cool tap water,* insert water tube/siphon, and replace Water Fill Cap, turning in a clockwise motion until snug.

5.Reattach Water Tank by turning in a clockwise motion until snug.

*NOTE: You may substitute distilled or demineralized water for tap water. Doing so may reduce the need to change the Water Filter to just once a year.

Do not add anything except cool water or you will cause damage to the heating element and void your warranty.

Water Filter

This filter removes minerals and other impurities from tap water, preventing water deposits from damaging your Steam ‘n Clean. It should be replaced when the bright green grains turn dark blue in the whole filter except the last strip.

Power Cord

Indicator Light

This will glow to indicate when tap water has been converted to steam, and machine is ready to use.

Safety Lock

Steam Switch

Push to release steam. To lock steam on, hold steam switch down while sliding safety lock forward to locking position.

Safety Valve

Your steam cleaner is equipped with a safety valve which will open if the steam nozzle is blocked. When the safety valve opens, water will be released from the small outlet hole at the bottom of the unit (below the handle). If release continues, turn off your steam cleaner, empty the Water Tank and call
