USAGE SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR HARD SURFACE
STEAM CLEANER
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, an extension cord rated a minimum
of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. 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.
CAUTION:
This appliance must be unplugged from the electrical outlet
and allowed to cool down before all cleaning and maintenance tasks.
• Let the appliance cool down completely before cleaning or storing.
• Empty all water from the water tank after each use.
• Store in a dry, cool place.
• 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. Fill the boiler
with water and shake vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of
water and any scale deposits. WARNING:
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
Cleaning the Nozzles:
Your steamer should not normally require cleaning, however, should you notice a
marked decrease in steam output it may be necessary to remove mineral deposit
build-up from the nozzle orifice. First ensure that there is water in the tank. If tank is
empty, fill with water, (we recommend using purified or demineralized water), then re-
start unit noting whether steam output is normal. If steam output is still low, follow
these cleaning instructions:
1. Unplug steam cleaner from wall outlet.
2. Use 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
illustration below.
3. Move wire back and forth several times to remove any deposits.
4. Reconnect appliance to power outlet, switch on and note steam output.
5. If steam performance does not improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.
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.
