Using Your
Canister Steam Cleaner
FILLING BOILER
1. Place Canister Steam Cleaner on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure Lighted On/Off Switch is set to “OFF” position and grounded power cord is unplugged
from electrical outlet.
3. Flip Storage Compartment lid open, and cautiously unscrew and remove Boiler cap.
4. Drain any water remaining inside Boiler into a sink or tub.
NOTE: Boiler should be emptied after each use – this will help minimize mineral build-up
and prevent over-filling.
5. Fill Measuring Cup to maximum fill line (16 oz. / 473 ml.) with water.
NOTE: In order to significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your
Canister Steam Cleaner, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly
recommended. Refer to Page 12 for more information about mineral build-up.
6. Using Water Funnel, carefully pour water from Measuring Cup into Boiler through fill hole.
CAUTION: Water Funnel should always be used to fill Boiler, to prevent spilled water
from entering unit housing and damaging electrical components.
7. Depending on how long you intend to steam, you may repeat steps 5 & 6 up to two more times,
up to a maximum of 48 oz. (1,420 ml.) of water. See chart for a comparison of the amount of
water vs. approximate steam time.
8. Replace Boiler cap, ensuring that it is screwed on tightly to prevent hot steam from escaping
and causing injury.
9. Close Storage Compartment lid.
REFILLING BOILER
If unit has been in use, always use the following safety precautions before removing
the Boiler cap to add water:
• Allow unit to cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam. Steam can remain pressurized
inside Boiler for up to an hour after use.
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may result in burns from escaping steam
when the Boiler cap is removed.
