OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Components

Power “On” Light (red): This light will illuminate when the unit is plugged into the 120V wall outlet and will remain on until the unit is unplugged.

CAUTION: Read the instructions for “Filling the Water Tank” before opening the Water Tank Cover.

Always unplug before filling.

Filling Your Steam Bottle With Water IMPORTANT: Always insure that the unit is “UNPLUGGED” from the wall receptacle prior to initial filling or re-filling the water tank. Use tap water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

WARNING: Never attempt to fill this unit under a water tap, always

use the filling flask that is provided.

Failure to follow these steps will cause the water tank to overfill and may pose an electrical safety hazard.

Step 1: Before filling the Steam Bottle, make sure that the unit is NOT plugged in.

Step 2: Hold unit upside down and remove the water tank filling plug.

(See caution above.) Step 3: Using the filling flask add

8 US Fl. Oz. (240 ml) of water. Do not overfill. (Fig. 1) Replace the water tank filling plug making sure that it is firmly in place.

Step 3: Allow approximately 30 - 60 seconds for unit to reach its working temperature. The blue steam ready light will illuminate to indicate that the steam is ready.

Step 4: Upon initial use, some water will come out from the nozzle of the attachment. This is normal.

IMPORTANT: When the Steam Bottle has run out of water, steam output will decrease and then cease.

NOTE: First usage may require 6-10 rapid pushes on steam push button before steam exits. Keep pressing for a few seconds until steam has developed from first rapid depressing of steam trigger, then you can continue intermittent pressing of steam trigger as detailed above.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use regular tap water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

CAUTION: Press steam trigger intermittently no more than once

every 1 or 2 seconds. Rapid pressing in succession will cause water leaking and spitting. Wait for steam pressure to reduce before pressing steam trigger again. By pressing intermittently you will note a rhythm for maintaining a continuous flow of steam without any water dripping or leaking.

Using the Fixed Concentrator Nozzle

Using the steam cleaner with the

Nylon Detail Brushes (x4)

Four nylon detail brushes are included with your steam cleaner to enable you to use a different one for different areas in your home. (Fig. 3)

They are best for any task requiring concentrated medium-pressure steam with additional rubbing action to loosen embedded dirt such as cleaning grout in between the tiles, ceramic and marble. To use: Push the nylon detail brush onto the end of the concentrator nozzle.

Triangle Towel Adapter

A small triangle towel adapter is included with your unit for use on small surfaces or upholstery.

CAUTION: Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric-

especially with reds or blues - by taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a small area as far down on the back or other out of the way place on the furniture as possible. If color comes off on the towel, you may need to have the piece dry cleaned.

To use: Push the triangle towel adapter onto the end of the concentrator nozzle. Place the triangle towel over the triangle towel adapter.

Triangle

Squeegee

This attachment is very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramic, tiled or marble surfaces.

To use: Attach the squeegee to the window squeegee handle. With the steam cleaner, apply steam abundantly to the surface and then remove excess water and dirt with the wiping edge.

CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid

any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

NOTE: If using the steam cleaner with the nozzle pointing downwards, you will need to return the unit to an upright position every now and again to enable the tube inside the water tank to dip into the water reservoir, thereby preserving the flow of water to the heating element.

Scrubbing Pads & Holder

This attachment is very useful for cleaning counters, ceramic, tiled or marble surfaces.

To use: Attach the scrubbing pad holder onto the concentrator nozzle. Then press the scrubbing pad onto the base of the scrubbing pad holder and twist slightly. This will help the scrubbing pads stay on more securely.
