OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Components
Power “On” Light (red): This light will
illuminate when the unit is plugged into
the 120V wall outlet and will remain on
until the unit is unplugged.
CAUTION: Read the instructions
for “Filling the Water Tank” before
opening the Water Tank Cover.
Always unplug before filling.
Nylon Detail Brushes (x4)
Four nylon detail brushes are included
with your steam cleaner to enable you
to use a different one for different areas
in your home. (Fig. 3)
They are best for any task requiring
concentrated medium-pressure steam
with additional rubbing action to loosen
embedded dirt such as cleaning grout in
between the tiles, ceramic and marble.
To use: Push the nylon detail brush onto
the end of the concentrator nozzle.
Step 3: Allow approximately 30 - 60
seconds for unit to reach its
working temperature . The blue
steam ready light will illuminate to
indicate that the steam is ready.
Step 4: Upon initial use, some water will
come out from the nozzle of
the attachment. This is normal.
NOTE: If using the steam cleaner with
the nozzle pointing downwards, you will
need to return the unit to an upright
position every now and again to enable
the tube inside the water tank to dip into
the water reservoir, thereby preserving
the flow of water to the heating
element.
Squeegee
This attachment is very useful for
cleaning large windows, plastic material,
ceramic, tiled or marble surfaces.
To use: Attach the squeegee to the
window squeegee handle. With the
steam cleaner, apply steam abundantly
to the surface and then remove excess
water and dirt with the wiping edge.
CAUTION: When cleaning
windows, always avoid
any sudden changes in
temperature to
prevent glass
breakage or cracks.
Scrubbing Pads & Holder
This attachment is very useful for
cleaning counters, ceramic, tiled or
marble surfaces.
To use: Attach the scrubbing pad holder
onto the concentrator nozzle. Then
press the scrubbing pad onto the base
of the scrubbing pad holder and twist
slightly. This will help the scrubbing
pads stay on more securely.

IMPORTANT: Always insure that the unit
is “UNPLUGGED” from the wall receptacle
prior to initial filling or re-filling the water
tank. Use tap water or distilled/purified
water if the tap water in your area is very
hard.
WARNING: Never attempt to fill
this unit under a water tap, always
use the filling flask that is provided.
Failure to follow these steps will cause the
water tank to overfill and may pose an
electrical safety hazard.
Step 1: Before filling the Steam Bottle,
make sure that the unit is NOT
plugged in.
Step 2: Hold unit upside down and
remove the water tank filling plug.
(See caution above.)
Step 3: Using the filling flask add
8 US Fl. Oz. (240 ml) of water.
Do not overfill. (Fig. 1)
Replace the water tank filling plug
making sure that it is firmly in
place.

IMPORTANT: When the Steam Bottle
has run out of water, steam output will
decrease and then cease.
NOTE: First usage may require 6-10 rapid
pushes on steam push button before
steam exits. Keep pressing for a few
seconds until steam has developed
from first rapid depressing of steam
trigger, then you can continue
intermittent pressing of steam trigger as
detailed above.
IMPORTANT : Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any
other chemicals to the water used in
this appliance. Use regular tap water
or distilled/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.

Triangle Towel Adapter
A small triangle towel adapter is included
with your unit for use on small surfaces or
upholstery.
CAUTION: Always determine the
color-fastness of any fabric-
especially with reds or blues - by taking
a clean, moist, warm towel and gently
rubbing a small area as far down on the
back or other out of the way place on
the furniture as possible. If color comes
off on the towel, you may need to have
the piece dry cleaned.
To use: Push the triangle towel adapter
onto the end of the concentrator nozzle.
Place the triangle towel over the triangle
towel adapter. CAUTION : Press steam trigger
intermittently no more than once
every 1 or 2 seconds. Rapid pressing in
succession will cause water leaking and
spitting. Wait for steam pressure to reduce
before pressing steam trigger again. By
pressing intermittently you will note a
rhythm for maintaining a continuous flow of
steam without any water dripping or
leaking.
Using the Fixed Concentrator
Nozzle
Using the steam cleaner with the
concentrator nozzle is very useful for
cleaning surfaces that are difficult to
reach. (Fig. 2) It is ideal for radiators, door
and window jambs, shutters and sanitary
fixtures.
