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 Figs. 14, 15 & 16.

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.
Nylon Bristle Brush (x2)
It is best for cleaning grout in-between
the ceramic and marble tiles.
To use: Attach the nylon
bristle brush on to the end
of the concentrator, which
then may be used directly
on the hand grip or with extension
tubes.

Points
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.
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 tankfulls, to
free up any scale deposits from the tank.
Fill the boiler with 20 oz. 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 you 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 tankfulls.
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.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap
Concentrator
Attach the concentrator
to the handgrip or to the
extension tubes.
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.
