TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the Steam Pocket ™ to clean wood, vinyl and marble floors. Move the Steam Pocket™ across the floor as if you are mopping. When one side of the towel is soiled, turn the Steam Pocket™ frame and use the other side. One of the great advantages of using our Steam Pocket™ is that your floor will dry faster than if you used a mop or other floor cleaning device. It is normal that some moisture may be left behind depending on how quickly you move the Steam Pocket™ across the floor and the relative heat and humidity of the room. Be sure to move quickly and steadily over wood, linoleum and vinyl flooring to avoid damaging the surface and removing wax.
To Clean Waxed Floors: Use the Steam Pocket™ with quick strokes. This will cause the dirt to be removed but not the wax.
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to build up in any kind of vinyl since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors: Use the concentrator with the bristle brush. Have the Steam Pocket™ ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the bristle brush. Remove the concentrator and bristle brush and attach the hose and Steam Pocket™. Move the Steam Pocket™ across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue.
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the concentrator with or without the bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried.
Always test color fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning.
If your steam cleaner fails to remove stubborn stains a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.
CAUTION: Always determine the
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.
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using the top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off to clear the water from the glass. To do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the surface.
CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden
changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.
NOTE: If not already assembled, fit the steam pocket frame with the angle adapter onto the extension tube.
Step 2. If the angle adapter is not attached to the steam pocket frame, attach as follows: Hold the steam pocket frame in one hand and the
angle adapter in the other. Insert the angle adapter stem into the opening of the steam pocket
frame as shown in Fig. 10. Note that the flat on the nozzle must face toward the side of the frame with the brass pin. Once inserted, rotate it 90°.
Step 3. Insert the electrical power cord into the outlet. Heating time is approximately

Care & Maintenance of the Steam Pocket Towel
Due to the unique cleaning ability of this cloth, proper care of your microfiber towel is required to ensure long life and continued cleaning ability.
•The first thing you should do when you get a new microfiber towel is to wash and dry it. During the manufacturing process the fabric has a tendency to become flat as it picks up contaminants from the air and machinery. There will also be a number of loose threads that, while they cause no harm, can be annoying the first time you use the towel.
•To clean the towel, simply wash it in your washing machine using the warm water setting.
•Always wash your towels separately from other fabrics. They have a tendency to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics and the next time you use your towel, this lint will transfer to the surface being cleaned.
•ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS, never use dry detergents as many times the granules do not fully dissolve and become trapped in the towel. This can scratch the surface that you are cleaning.
•NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the microfiber fabric and fabric softeners deposit a coating on the microfiber fabric that will not allow the cloth to clean efficiently.
•Air dry the towel. Do not put in a clothes dryer as high heat will cause the towel to shrink and the microfibers to break down.
•If you wash your towel on a regular basis and don’t let them get too dirty, they will last much longer. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease and other contaminants can cause the fibers to break down, therefore regular cleaning will help preserve your microfiber towels.
•As you use the microfiber towel, you will notice that sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal and you should
NEVER PULL AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the thread can cause the weave to come undone. Instead, simply trim the

7thread with a pair of sharp scissors.
