ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
1.To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam cleaner.
2.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum of 15 ampere, 14 gauge 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.
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded, type
CAUTION: Always drain condensed water from hose or concentrator nozzle before use or if unit has been left idle for a
period of time. To drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink and depress locking steam trigger. Once hose has been drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle towards people, animals or plants.
WARNING: Your Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft plastics and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood grain to rise. It is therefore recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance.
Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.
WARNING: Danger of Scalding. Please use caution when using the steam cleaner. The steam emitted is very hot.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces Use the bristle 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 a terry 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.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the bristle brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The window squeegee attachment 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. Wipe with towel.
Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the steam cleaner.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use the concentrator with or without bristle brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue. To clean the sink and faucets, use bristle brush then finish by wiping with a towel.
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 clean terry cloth towel.
Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the bristle brush to break up this surface - or spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals. 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 bristle brush again and
Garden Furniture
Use the brushes depending on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Blinds
Use the nylon bristle 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. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Automotive
For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the bristle brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by applying the steam with the concentrator and following with a paper towel.
To clean bicycles, use the bristle brush. To clean equipment, use the bristle brush, depending on the surface area. Finish by wiping down with a towel.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator without a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply “vaporize” the surface from a distance
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by the Steam Pocket™, it immediately dissolves and flows into the Steam Pocket™ towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the Steam Pocket™ over the surface.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This is accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth towel to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the concentrator. Note: Always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before you apply vapor to it.
