Water
• Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
• However, if you live in an area with
hard water, use de-mineralized /
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/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.
Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
towel 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.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as
possible, otherwise it will dry and
re-adhere to the surface.
If you consistently use demineralized or
distilled water, cleaning the tank is
unnecessary.
Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner
Normally, 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 from the tank.
Fill the boiler with 20 oz. of water and
shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the
cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of
water and any scale deposits.
Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high
level of calcium deposits and you have
been using tap water to do your steam
cleaning, you should descale your unit
after 10-15 tankfulls.
Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from
the power source before you
descale the boiler. Allow to cool.
Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part
vinegar and 5 parts water and
leave overnight or for a period
of approximately 8 hours. Do
not screw the safety/filler cap
onto the steam cleaner while
you are descaling the boiler.
Do not use the steam cleaner
while descaling solution is
inside the boiler.
Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn
the steam cleaner upside down
to empty solution from the
boiler. Due to the fact that a
small amount of solution will be
left in the boiler, it is necessary
to rinse the boiler out with clean
water 2 or 3 times. Your steam
cleaner is now ready for use.
Note: When storing your unit, always
drain any residual water in the boiler and
do not tighten the safety filler cap onto the
unit. Always leave the safety filler cap
loose on the unit when not in use.

Step 1: Before refilling the steam cleaner,
make sure that the unit is NOT
plugged in and has been allowed to
cool for fifteen (15) minutes.
Step 7: Connect desired attachments
onto the flexible steam hose.
Step 8: Plug the unit into a standard (120
volt, grounded) wall receptacle.
Allow approximately 15 minutes
for vapor to reach its working
temperature and pressure. The
green ready light will illuminate
when the unit is ready for use.
Always point nozzle outlet in a safe
direction.

out of water, steam output will
cease.
WARNING:
Allow
unit to cool for
15 minutes before refilling .
When refilling the steam
cleaner while the boiler is still hot, there
is a risk that water will squirt back
during filling and cause scalding.
Extreme care should be taken when
refilling the unit. Use caution when
opening the Safety/Filler Cap as cap
may become hot during use and
escaping steam can cause scalding.
