STEAM CLEANING

NOTE: Before operating, make sure all desired accessories are connected and Boiler is filled with the correct amount of water (refer to Pages 6-9 for details).

1.For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug. Plug power cord into a convenient 3-prong electrical outlet. Heating Indicator Light will illuminate to show that unit is receiving power and Boiler has begun to heat.

CAUTION: This unit uses a grounded (3-prong) electrical plug. Use only in properly installed 3-prong electrical outlets. Do not attempt to alter plug or circumvent this safety feature in any way.

2.After approximately 3 minutes, Heating Indicator Light will turn off. This indicates that Boiler is fully heated, and unit is ready to begin steaming.

NOTE: Heating Indicator Light may cycle off and on during use, accompanied by a slight temporary drop in steam pressure – this is a normal part of operation, as the Boiler works to maintain a steady optimal temperature.

3.Point Steam Aperture (and any connected accessories) towards surface you wish to steam, and press Steam Button. Hold Button down for a continuous flow of steam.

CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Aperture and other accessories are pointed in a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before pressing Steam Button.

NOTE: When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for material being steamed. For items in question, test steam on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.

4.Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will enhance the cleaning process, as will scrubbing the area (if a Utility Brush is connected). Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime.

CAUTION: Wiping an area while it is still wet is recommended, but use care when wiping surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.

5.To effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms, hold Steam Aperture (and any connected accessories) approximately 1/2 inch from surface and press Steam Button. Keep Steam Button held and concentrate steam on the same spot for at least 5 seconds.

6.At its maximum capacity (6 oz. / 180 ml.), the Boiler will provide approximately 8 minutes of continuous steam. If you wish to continue steaming, refer to Refilling procedure on Page 10 to refill Boiler.

7.Once you are finished using your Handheld Steam Cleaner, immediately unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Refer to Storage & Care guidelines on Page 11 for proper cleaning and storage procedures.
