SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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, use a cord rated at a minimum of 10 amperes. 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 cord (plug).

CAUTION: Always drain condensed water from hose 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 hand grip 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 from this aperture is very hot.

CAUTION: Always unplug before filling. ALLOW UNIT TO COOL FOR FIFTEEN (15) MINUTES BEFORE REFILLING.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the boiler in this appliance. Use tap water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

Filling or Refilling Your Steam Cleaner With Water

IMPORTANT: Always insure that the unit is "UNPLUGGED" from the wall receptacle prior to initial filling or re-filling the water tank and has been allowed to cool for 15 minutes. Never attempt to fill this unit under a water tap. Always use the filling funnel provided.

Step 1: Before refilling the steam cleaner, make sure that the unit is NOT plugged in and has been allowed to cool for fifteen (15) minutes.

Step 2: Press the steam trigger on the hand grip to vent any residual steam that is in the boiler.

Step 3: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Slowly turn the safety filler cap counter clockwise until it is removed.

Step 4: Insert the funnel into the tank opening and add (1000 ml) of water. Place the funnel in the tank opening as illustrated in Fig. 1. The funnel has been specially designed to show when the water tank is full. When water starts to come out of the vent hole of the funnel, the tank is full. Remove the funnel slowly and let the remaining water in it go inside the water tank. Do Not Overfill. Replace the Safety Cap.

WARNING: Allow unit to cool for 15 minutes before refilling.

Vent hole

When refilling the steam cleaner while the boiler is still hot, there is a risk that water will squirt back during filling and cause scalding. Extreme care should be taken when refilling the unit. Use caution when opening the Safety Cap as cap may become hot during use and escaping steam can cause scalding.

Step 5: Connect desired attachments onto the Flexible Steam Hose.

Step 6: Plug the unit into a standard (220-240 volt, grounded) wall receptacle. Allow approximately 8-10 minutes for vapor to reach its working temperature and pressure. When the unit is ready for use, the red light will change to green. Always point nozzle outlet in a safe direction. At the start, some water will come out from the nozzle. This is normal.

NOTE: When the steam cleaner has run out of water, steam output will cease.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This appliance is under pressure. After every use, press steam trigger button until all pressure has been released before removing safety cap.

Allow unit to cool for fifteen (15) minutes before refilling.

Using the Variable Steam Feature

Your steam cleaner has a variable steam feature that allows you to adjust the steam flow to the job that you are doing. The variable steam control is located on the handgrip. (Fig. 3) To increase the steam flow, turn the knob counter clockwise and to decrease, turn it clockwise.

Using Your Steam Cleaner

Step 1: Connect one of the extension tubes to the hand grip on the flexible steam hose. To attach the extension tubes one onto the other or onto the hand grip, press the locking button ensuring that it fits into the hole (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) and press the two sections together. To disconnect, repeat the operation by pressing the locking button and pulling the two sections apart.

NOTE: Fit the Floor Brush with

Step 2: If the angle adapter is not attached to the Floor Brush, hold the Floor Brush your left hand with the brass pin on the half toward the floor. Take the angle adapter in your right hand with the angle adapter pointing downward and the cylindrical nozzle facing toward the left. Insert it into the hole of the Floor Brush, then turn the Floor Brush 90°.

Step 3: Insert the electrical power cord into the wall outlet. Heating time is approximately 8-10 minutes with cold water. Filling the steam generator with hot water will shorten the heat up time.

1. Prepare white terry cloth towel as shown in Fig. A.

1. Place the brush on lop of the towel.
2. Fold the towel as shown in Fig. B.

1. Fold the other side of the towel as shown in Fig. C.

1. Place the corner under the cloth holder as shown in Fig. D.

1. Place the towel around the brush, and repeat folding the towel as shown in Fig. E. When folding the towel, leave some slack. Do not pull tightly around the brush, leave some looseness.

Attaching a Towel to the Floor Brush

100% white terry cloth towel can be fitted on this brush, to absorb the dirt and protect delicate surfaces.

IMPORTANT: Please note that bristles may break through thin towels. We recommend that two (2) towels, laid one on top of the other, be used. This will ensure that the brush bristles do not break through and that the towels will be sufficiently absorbent and retain as much dirt as possible.

CLEANING TIP: You may also fit the towel so that the front and rear bristle areas are open and uncovered. This will result in less moisture on the towel and allow the floor to dry more quickly.

Care & Maintenance of the Steam Pocket Towel

Due to the unique cleaning ability of this cloth, proper care of your microfiber towel is required to ensure long life and continued cleaning ability.

• The first thing you should do when you get a new microfiber towel is to wash and dry it. During the manufacturing process the fabric has a tendency to become flat as it picks up contaminants from the air and machinery. There will also be a number of loose threads that, while they cause no harm, can be annoying the first time you use the towel.
• To clean the towel, simply wash it in your washing machine using the warm water setting.
• Always wash your towels separately from other fabrics. They have a tendency to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics and the next time you use your towel, this lint will transfer to the surface being cleaned.

- ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS. Never use dry detergents, as many times the granules do not fully dissolve and become trapped in the towel. This can scratch the surface that you are cleaning.

- NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the microfiber fabric, and fabric softeners deposit a coating on the microfiber fabric that will not allow the cloth to clean efficiently.

- Air dry the towel. Do not put it in a clothes dryer, as high heat will cause the towel to shrink and the microfibers to break down.

- If you wash your towels on a regular basis and don't let them get too dirty, they will last much longer. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease, and other contaminants can cause the fibers to break down, therefore regular cleaning will help preserve your microfiber towels.

As you use the microfiber towel, you will notice that sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal, and you should NEVER PULL AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the thread can cause the weave to come undone. Instead, simply trim the thread with a pair of sharp scissors.

Attaching the Accessories to the Flexible Steam Hose

Allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes before changing accessories.

Window Squeegee

This attachment is very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramic, tiled, or marble surfaces.

IMPORTANT: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

To use: Connect the tile squeegee to the hand grip or use with extension tube for hard-to-reach surfaces. Apply steam abundantly, rub with the soft spongy edge, then remove excess water and dirt with the glass wiping edge.

Concentrator:

Attach the concentrator to the handgrip or to the extension tubes.

Nylon Bristle Brush (x2)

It is best for cleaning grout in-between the tiles, ceramic, and marble. To use: Attach the nylon bristle brush onto the end of the concentrator, which then may be used directly on the hand grip or with extension tubes.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap

Using the detachable shoulder strap allows for greater freedom of movement when both hands are needed for various cleaning tasks. To attach the shoulder strap to the steam cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap hooks onto the connecting rings on the unit body. See Fig. 9, 10 & 11.

IMPORTANT: When using the steam cleaner with the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting the unit excessively as this may cause water to enter the hose and be discharged along with the steam.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

Care and Maintenance

If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.

Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner

Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10-15 tankfuls, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with 600 ml of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

Descaling Your Steam Cleaner

If the tap water in your area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tankfuls.

To Descale the Steam Cleaner

Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to cool.

Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/filler cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler.

Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.

NOTE: When storing your unit, always drain any residual water in the boiler and do not tighten the safety filler cap onto the unit. Always leave the safety filler cap loose on the unit when not in use.

Water

• Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.
• However, if you live in an area with hard water, use de-mineralized / distilled water when steaming light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use tap water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

Efficient Work

• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a towel from the top down. In this way, the dirty water will not soil surfaces already cleaned.
• Avoid changing brushes back and forth while cleaning.
• Start with the smallest brush to clean tight spots and corners first.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as possible, otherwise it will dry and re-adhere to the surface.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors

Use the Floor Brush. Move the Floor Brush across the floor as if you are mopping. When one side of the towel is soiled, turn the steam pocket frame and use the other side. If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the steam pocket over the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood.

To Clean Waxed Floors: Use the Floor Brush with quick strokes. This will cause the dirt to be removed but not the wax.

Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to buildup in any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.

Tile Floors: Use the concentrator with the bristle brush attached to an extension. Have the Floor Brush ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the bristle brush. Remove the bristle brush and attach the Floor Brush, move the Floor Brush across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. Do not let the area dry before you wipe with a towel.

Spot Cleaning (Carpets)

Use the concentrator with or without the bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried. Always test color fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning. If your steam cleaner fails to remove stubborn stains, a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils, or any other chemicals to the water

used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.

CAUTION: Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric—especially with reds or blues—by taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a small area as far down on the back or other out-of-the-way place on the furniture as possible. If color comes off on the towel, you may need to have the piece dry cleaned.

Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors

Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using top-to-bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off 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.

CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

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 dual edge window/tile 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. 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 re-clean.

Garden Furniture

Use any of 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 vapor 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 of (30 – 45cm). The dry vapor removes wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary fabric steamers do.

Nicotine and Tar

Nicotine and tar dissolve at high temperatures and become a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by 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.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A TOWEL

When using your Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

Refrigerator - Use the concentrator 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 bristle brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains around door gaskets can be removed with the bristle brush.

Note: When cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning. Do not direct steam into any openings of the appliances.

To clean counter tops, use the bristle brush first in order to loosen the debris, then wipe with a terry cloth towel to finish.

Hints

The steam cleaner has many uses that have not been mentioned. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit. However, the ways in which to use the attachments and brushes are in most cases universal. It is most helpful to always have 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 bristle brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher.

Note: Wipe with a towel immediately before the cleaned area dries. When cleaning the oven, use the bristle brush to clean around the elements and drip trays. Use the bristle brush for cracks, crevices, and hard to reach areas.

ENVIRONMENT

Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
