Care & Maintenance of the Steam
Pocket Towel
Due to the unique cleaning ability of this
cloth, proper care of your micro fiber towel
is required to ensure long life and
continued cleaning ability.
• The first thing you should do when
you get a new micro fiber towel is to
wash and dry it. During the
manufacturing process the fabric has a
tendency to become flat as it picks up
contaminants from the air and
machinery. There will also be a number
of loose threads that, while they cause
no harm, can be annoying the first time
you use the towel.
• To clean the towel, simply wash it in your
washing machine using the warm water
setting.
• Always wash your towels separately
from other fabrics. They have a tendency
to pick up lint and other particles from
other fabrics and the next time you use
your towel, this lint will transfer to the
surface being cleaned.
•
ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS
,
never use dry detergents as many times
the granules do not fully dissolve and
become trapped in the towel. This can
scratch the surface that you are
cleaning.
•
NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC
SOFTENERS
! Bleach will damage the
micro fiber fabric and fabric softeners
deposit a coating on the micro fiber
fabric what will not allow the cloth to
clean efficiently.
• Air dry the towel. Do not put in a clothes
dryer as high heat will cause the towel to
shrink and the micro fibers to break
down.
• If you wash your towel on a regular basis
and don’t let them get too dirty, they will
last much longer. As with any fabric, dirt
particles, grease and other contaminants
can cause the fibers to break down,
therefore regular cleaning will help
preserve your micro fiber towels.
• As you use the micro fiber towel, you will
notice that sometimes a thread will
loosen or pull out. This is normal and
you should
NEVER PULL AT THE
LOOSE THREAD
! Pulling the thread can
cause the weave to come undone.
Instead, simply trim the thread with a
pair of sharp scissors.

Locking Button
Using the Nylon Detail Brush
The nylon detail brush attaches to the
accessory adapter and is best for
cleaning the grout between tiles, ceramic
or marble surfaces. Clean porcelain
sinks, tubs, small spots, blinds, small
appliances.
CAUTION:
Allow the unit to cool
down 5 minutes before attaching or
removing any accessory. Be aware of
your hand placement and take care not to
actuate the steam discharge switch while
attaching or removing accessories. .
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Angle Concentrator
The angle concentrator attaches to the
accessory adaptor and is best for
cleaning in tight areas such as around
bathroom fixtures, door tracks or under
toilet bowl rims.
Using the Steam Diffuser
Attach the steam diffuser to the
accessory adaptor. You can use this
attachment with or without the window
squeegee. (Fig. 11, Fig 12)
Use the steam diffuser with the bonnet
for cleaning upholstery. Use fast, light
strokes, avoid getting the fabric wet. Be
patient with stubborn spots; work on a
spot gently for no more than a minute at
a time, then wait five minutes for the
area to dry and repeat. Use circular
movements or back-and-forth and side-
to-side movements to get all sides of
surface fibers. Finish with a brushing in
one direction that will give the fabric a
uniform appearance.
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.

Using the Window Squeegee
To attach the window squeegee to the
steam diffuser, place the two hinges at
the back of the window squeegee (see
illustration) into the two open tabs that
are at the back of the steam diffuser.
Swing the window squeegee up
against the bottom of the steam
diffuser until the locking tab engages.

CAUTION
: When cleaning
windows, always avoid any
sudden changes in temperature to
prevent glass breakage or cracks.
To use the window squeegee, work
with the vapor jet down using the top
to bottom movements. To do this
without leaving streaks, use lateral
movements from the top to the bottom
of the surface.
The window squeegee is also perfect
for cleaning mirrors, ceramic tiles and
shower doors.
Using the Brass Detail Brush
The large brass brush attaches to the
accessory adaptor and is best for
cleaning ovens, stainless steel sinks
and hard metal surfaces such as cast
iron BBQ’s.
