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 grounded cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled, tripped over or pinched.
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.
CAUTION: The force and heat of the steam may adversely affect certain materials. Always check the suitability of using the steam cleaner on a surface by carrying out a preliminary test on a hidden area.
Examples for guidance only: - Varnished wood or glossy leather can be bleached by the effects of steam.
-Shiny plastic materials risk being tarnished.
-Acrylic, velvets and linen are very sensitive to the temperature of steam.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused to objects, materials, animals or persons due to the inappropriate use of steam, and through ignoring the advice and recommendations set down in the Owner's Manual.
Hints
The steam cleaner has many uses many of which will not be mentioned in this owner's manual. This is meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit. However, the ways in which to use the units and the brushes are in most cases universal. It is most helpful to always have a micro fiber cloth, a terry cloth towel or paper towel ready to use for removal of moisture and residue. 100% white cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your steam cleaner. When cleaning the brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold the brushes or place in the basket of your dishwasher.
Note: Wipe immediately before the cleaned area dries.
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors Use the squeegee. Work with the vapor jet using top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee 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. Do not use on cold glass. CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces Use the nylon detail brush. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapor will emulsify the dirt and grease on the surface. Follow behind with the cloth towel over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue.
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water after it is cleaned.
Blinds
Use the nylon detail brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate.
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for color fastness on fabric blinds before using.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the nylon detail brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The squeegee will be the most efficient way to clean the rest of the area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to penetrate the surface. This is especially helpful in the shower area if there is tile or grout.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use concentrator nozzle with or without nylon bristle brush. Use a towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue.
To clean the sink and faucets, use nylon detail brush.
Soap Scum
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the surface with a small amount of water afterwards or go back over it once more with a cloth towel.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to granulate on the surface. The surface will have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the nylon bristle brush again and re-clean.
Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the nylon detail brush to break up this surface - or spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals.
Refrigerator
Use the concentrator nozzle alone to blow away dirt in the ice machine and on door seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack the seals as chemicals often do. Can openers and other kitchen equipment can be easily cleaned with the nylon detail brush on the concentrator nozzle to get into all the nooks and crannies.
To clean microwaves or other small appliances use the nylon detail brush for small areas. Do not inject steam into the vent openings of the product.
CAUTION: When cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning.
Exterior Areas
For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator nozzle and the nylon detail brush.
To clean bicycles, use the nylon detail brush. To clean tools or equipment , use the nylon detail brush, depending on the surface area. To clean BBQ’s, use the nylon detail brush to clean the BBQ rack.
Garden Furniture
Use the nylon detail brushes on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture.
