Water Tank
The Water Tank is the translucent tank at the end of
the Steam ‘n Clean.
1. Remove the Tank by unscrewing it from the
handle in a counter clockwise motion.
2. Remove the Water Fill Cap by unscrewing it from
the Water Tank in a counter clockwise motion.
3. Remove the Cap and the attached water tube
and siphon.
4. Fill Water Tank completely with cool tap water, *
insert water tube/siphon, and replace Water Fill
Cap, turning in a clockwise motion until snug.
5. Reattach Water Tank by turning in a clockwise
motion until snug.
*NOTE: You may substitute distilled or demineralized water for tap
water. Doing so may reduce the need to change the Water Filter to
just once a year.
Do not add anything except cool water
or you will cause damage to the heating
element and void your warranty.
Water Filter
This filter removes minerals and other impurities
from tap water, preventing water deposits from
damaging your Steam ‘n Clean. It should be replaced
when the bright green grains turn dark blue in the
whole filter except the last strip.
