Using Your Portable Steam Pocket® - cont’d

Care of Your Portable Steam Pocket®

English

 

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

IMPORTANT: Once plugged in, the Blue LED will illuminate, and your Portable Steam Pocket® Cleaning System will be ready to use within 30 seconds.

WARNING: Your portable steam pocket® is designed to clean surfaces that will withstand high heat and moisture. Do not use on unsealed wood surfaces (especially wooden antique furniture), unglazed ceramic tile, or surfaces that have been treated with wax, oils, varnishes, or shellac. The sheen may be removed by the heat, steam, and friction of the cleaning tools. Lacquer and polyurethane coatings provide a hard durable protective finish that withstands moisture but it is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.

We also recommend you check the use and care instructions from the surface manufacturer.

NOTE: Make sure surfaces are free of crumbs and debris before using the portable steam pocket®. Large objects may not be picked up by the steam pocket and will only be pushed around.

GENERATING STEAM

1Plug the unit in and wait about 30 to 45 seconds then press and hold the steam trigger to activate the pump. You will immediately hear steam generating and begin to see visible results either from the nozzle or the attached cleaning tool. It is recommended that you wait at least 30 seconds before pulling the trigger as this will minimize water spitting.

2Once you release the steam trigger, the pump will stop delivering water to the boiler and the steam will reduce to a stop when the boiler becomes empty.

3For wedge and cylinder cleaning pockets, allow the bottle to generate enough steam to activate the cleaning fabric. Once you see visible steam emitting through the fabric, your cleaning pocket is ready to use. Some messes, particularly those that are sticky may require more moisture, so allow more steam to generate and exhaust from the cleaning pocket before cleaning.

CAUTION: Steam is hot and can cause burns, so please use with caution.

WARNING: The hose stem becomes very hot during operation and can cause burns. Do not operate the Portable Steam Pocket® without the proper cleaning tools attached securely as instructed.

Caution: This appliance must be unplugged from electrical outlet and allowed to cool down before storage or cleaning.

STORAGE

1Let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing

2Empty the water tank after each use

3Store in a cool dry location

CLEANING THE STEAM BOTTLE

1A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will help free it from normal water deposits. This is recommended every 10-15 fillings to free up any scale deposit. Fill the reservoir with water and secure the cap. Shake vigorously for approximately 10-15 times and remove the cap to empty the reservoir.

1Your Portable Steam Pocket® should not normally require cleaning, however, should you notice a decrease in the steam output, it may be necessary to remove mineral deposits built up around the nozzles.

2Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet

3Use the provided nozzle cleaner or 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.

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

5Plug in the appliance to the power outlet and test to note steam output.

Cleaning tip: To prevent clogging, it is recommended that you periodically clean the Direct Steam Nozzle and the extension hose stem with the cleaning tool provided or a paper clip.
