OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Components
Power "On" Light (green): 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 Steam Cleaner" before
removing the plug on the water tank.
CAUTION
: Always unplug before
filling.
Filling Your Steam Cleaner With
Water
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 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
cleaner, make sure that the
unit is NOT plugged in.
Step 2: Hold unit upside down and
remove the water tank filling
plug.
Step 3: Using the filling flask add 8
US Fl. Oz. (240 ml) of water.
Do not overfill. Replace the
water tank filling plug making
sure that it is firmly in place.
Step 4: Plug the unit into a standard
(120 volt, grounded) wall
receptacle. The power light
will now illuminate.
Step 5: Allow approximately 30 - 60
seconds for the unit to reach
its working temperature.
Step 6: Upon initial use, some water
will come out from the nozzle
of the attachment. This is
normal.
IMPORTANT:
When the steam
cleaner has run out of water, steam
output will decrease and then cease.
Using the Steam Bottle
The steam bottle is very useful for
cleaning surfaces that are difficult to
reach. It is ideal for radiators, door and
window jambs, shutters and sanitary
fixtures.
NOTE: If using the steam bottle 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.
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 water if the tap water in
your area is very hard.
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.

dust and retains it. The result is a
gleaming smear free finish. The micro-
fiber cloth can be used dry as a duster
or dampened with water for all dirty
surfaces. Use after steaming your
chrome fixtures for a gleaming streak
.

Tips On How To Use Your Steam
Cleaner
Water
• Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
• If you live in an area with hard water,
use 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
water if the tap water in your area is
very hard.
Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe always
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.
• Wipe dirt as soon as possible,
otherwise it will dry and re-adhere
to the surface.
