CARE & MAINTENANCE

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS cont.

CAUTION: This appliance must be unplugged from the electrical outlet and allowed to cool down before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks on the unit.

•Let the appliance cool down completely before cleaning or storing.

•Depress the trigger before opening the safety cap in order to release any residual pressure in the boiler.

•Empty all water from the water tank after each use.

•Store in a dry, cool place.

•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. Fill the boiler with water and shake vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

Cleaning the Nozzles:

Your steamer should not normally require cleaning, however, should you notice a marked decrease in steam output it may be necessary to remove mineral deposit build-up from the nozzle orifice. First ensure that there is water in the tank. If tank is empty, fill with water, (we recommend using purified or demineralized water), then re-start unit noting whether steam output is normal. If steam output is still low, follow these cleaning instructions:

1.Unplug steam cleaner from wall outlet.

2.Depress trigger to release any residual pressure in the boiler.

3.Use a small diameter stiff metal wire such as a straightened metal paperclip and carefully insert the end of the wire into the nozzle orifice. See illustrations below.

4.Move wire back and forth several times to remove any deposits.

5.Reconnect appliance to power outlet, switch on and note steam output.

6.If steam performance does not improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.

Paperclip

1.To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit)

2.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

3.Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
