IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CARE & MAINTENANCE
When using your
Steam Cleaner
basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
Fig. 10
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:
•
Do not
leave the steam cleaner plugged
in when unattended. Unplug the electrical
cord when not in use and before servicing or
refilling water tank.

allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.

Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.

heated surfaces.
•
Do not
use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.

Do
turn off all controls as applicable before

Let the system cool completely before
putting away or opening water tank
(removing the safety cap). Wrap cord
loosely around system when storing.
6.
Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use. Always turn the
safety cap slowly when opening the water
tank . This will allow any remaining steam
to escape gradually.
7.
Do not
operate the system with a damaged
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

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.
Do not
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.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap
Using the detachable shoulder strap
allows for greater freedom of movement
when both hands are needed for various
cleaning tasks.
To attach the shoulder strap to the steam
cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap
hooks onto the connecting rings on the
unit body.
See Fig. 10, 11 & 12.
When using the Ultra Steam Shark II with
the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting
the unit excessively as this may cause
water to enter the hose and be
discharged along with the steam.
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.
