How do I fill the water tank?

Remove the water tank by pressing the release button, unscrew the cap, fill with tap water up to the MAX line, and reattach securely.

Can I use distilled water?

Yes, distilled or demineralized water is recommended to reduce scale buildup. Avoid using additives or perfumes.

How long does it take to heat up?

Heating time is approximately 5 minutes. The indicator light will turn off when ready.

How do I adjust the steam level?

Use the steam control dial on the handle. Turn it to increase or decrease steam flow. For light cleaning, use low steam; for tough stains, use high steam.

What surfaces can I clean?

This steam cleaner is suitable for sealed hard floors, tiles, carpets (with attachment), upholstery, windows, and ovens. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do I descale the steam cleaner?

Mix a descaling solution (citric acid) with water, fill the tank, run the cleaner until solution is used, then rinse with clean water. Repeat every 3 months or when descaling indicator lights up.

Can I use the steam cleaner without water?

No, never operate without water in the tank. This can damage the heating element. Always fill to at least the MIN line.

What should I do if steam output is low?

Check water level, ensure the steam control is set high, and clean the nozzle for any blockages. If still low, descale the unit.

How do I store the steam cleaner?

Allow the unit to cool, empty the water tank, wrap the cord around the storage hooks, and store in a dry place. Do not store with water in the tank.

Is it safe for pets and children?
