TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hints
ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING
DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A
TOWEL
The steam cleaner has many uses that
have not been mentioned. This was
meant only to give you a general idea of
what can be achieved with the unit.
However, the ways in which to use the
attachments and brushes are in most
cases universal. It is
most
helpful to
always have a terry cloth towel or paper
towel ready to use for removal of
moisture and residue. 100% white
cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your
steam cleaner. When cleaning the detail
brush, use a pair of pliers to hold and
blow dirt as above or place in the basket
of your dishwasher.
Note
: Wipe with a towel immediately
before the cleaned area dries. When
cleaning the oven, use the detail brush
to clean around the elements and drip
trays. Use the detail brush for cracks,
crevices, and hard to reach areas.
Refrigerator
- Use the concentrator to
blow away dirt in the ice machine and
on door seals. The vapor will not dry
out or crack the seals as chemicals
often do. Can openers and other
kitchen equipment can be easily
cleaned with the detail brush to get into
all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains
around door gaskets can be removed
with the detail brush.
To clean
microwaves
or
other small
appliances
use the detail brush for
small areas.
Note:
When cleaning small electrical
appliances always unplug them from
outlet before cleaning.
To clean
counter tops
, use the steam
pocket frame and steam pocket. For
heavily soiled areas, use the detail
brush first in order to loosen the debris,
then follow with a terry cloth towel to
finish.
Blinds
Use the nylon bristle brush to clean
blinds. Move the brush over the
surface, allowing enough time for the
vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on
PVC blinds. Test for color fastness on
fabric blinds before using. Finish by
wiping with a towel.
Automotive
For detailing the wheels, use the
concentrator and the bristle brush.
Exterior windows are cleaned best by
using the window squeegee.
To clean bicycles, use the bristle brush.
To clean equipment, use the bristle
brush, depending on the surface area.
Finish by wiping down with a towel.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator without a brush
attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply
“vaporize” the surface from a distance
(12”-18”) and pull or stretch the fabric to
remove the wrinkles. The dry vapor
removes wrinkles without leaving the
fabric wet like ordinary fabric steamers
do.
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high
temperatures and becomes a light
yellow oil that has the consistency of
sewing machine oil. When the
nicotine/tar film is touched by steam
pocket, it immediately dissolves and
flows into the steam pocket towel. You
can remove it from flat surfaces as fast
as you can move the steam pocket over
the surface.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the
surface of materials and can be easily
and quickly removed by “blowing”
excess material away from the surface
from the side. This is accomplished by
using the concentrator. Hold the terry
cloth towel to the side to catch the loose
residue as it is blown by the
concentrator.
Note
: Always vacuum
any loose residue off the surface before
you apply vapor to it.
When using your
Steam Cleaner
, basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to

when the steam cleaner is used.
8.
Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected to electrical outlet or when hot.
9.
Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Use caution
when draining unit after use as there may
be hot water in the unit. Never direct steam
at any person. The steam is very hot and
can cause burns.
10.

operate in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.
11. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions
in this manual.
