TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER

Attaching the Accessories to the Hand Grip

Window Squeegee

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

IMPORTANT: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

To use: Connect the tile squeegee to the hand grip or use with

extension tube for hard to reach surfaces. Apply steam abundantly, rub with the soft spongy edge, then remove excess water and dirt with the glass wiping edge.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap

Using the detachable shoulder strap allows for greater freedom of movement when both hands are needed for various cleaning tasks. To attach the shoulder strap to the steam cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap hooks onto the connecting rings on the

unit body. See Figs. 14, 15 & 16.

Care and Maintenance

If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.

Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner

Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10-15 tankfulls, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with 20 oz. of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

Descaling Your Steam Cleaner

If the tap water in you area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tankfulls.

Water

•Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.

•However, if you live in an area with hard water, use de-mineralized / distilled water when steaming light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.

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

Efficient Work

•	For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
	towel from the top down, in this
	way the dirty water will not soil
	surfaces already cleaned.
•	Avoid changing brushes back and

Concentrator

Attach the concentrator to the handgrip or to the extension tubes.

Nylon Bristle Brush (x2)

It is best for cleaning grout in-between the ceramic and marble tiles.

To use: Attach the nylon bristle brush on to the end of the concentrator, which then may be used directly

on the hand grip or with extension tubes.

IMPORTANT: When using the steam cleaner with the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting the unit excessively as this may cause water to enter the hose and be discharged along with the steam.

To Descale the Steam Cleaner

Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to cool.

Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/filler cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler.

Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler.

Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.

NOTE: When storing your unit, always drain any residual water in the boiler and do not tighten the safety filler cap onto the unit. Always leave the safety filler cap loose on the unit when not in use.

forth while cleaning.

• Start with the smallest brush to

clean tight spots and corners first.

• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as

possible, otherwise it will dry and

re-adhere to the surface.
