Tips On How To Use Your Steam
Cleaner
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the window squeegee. Work with the
steam on using top to bottom movements.
Use the squeegee with the steam to clear
the water from the glass. To do this without
leaving streaks, use lateral movements
from the top to the bottom of the surface.
1. To avoid circuit overload,
do not
operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit)
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage cord should
be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
3.
Do not
leave unattended when the system is connected to a power
supply/electrical outlet.
Water
•
Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
•
However, if you live in an area with
hard water, use demineralized/
distilled water when steaming light
colored fabrics to eliminate the
possibility of hard water stains.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the nylon detail brush. Slowly move
the brush over the surface to be cleaned.
The steam will emulsify the dirt and
grease on the surface. Follow behind
with a 100% cotton towel to remove
excess moisture and residue.
Tip
: An old idea for polishing stainless
steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda
water after it is cleaned.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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
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.
WARNING:
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug
will only fit into an electrical outlet made for
a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If
the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact
an electrician to replace the outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
Soap Scum
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately
under a combination of heat and
moisture. Rinse the surface with a small
amount of water afterwards.
Note:
Soap scum sometimes will develop
a hard surface from waterborne minerals.
If this is the case, use the detail brush to
break up this surface - or spray or wipe
first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda
water to soften the minerals.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap
scum and cause it to granulate on the
surface. The surface will have a gritty
feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the
surface with the nylon detail brush again
and re-clean.
Hints
The Deluxe Portable Pro Steam
Cleaner has many uses many of
which will not be mentioned in this
owner's manual. This is meant only to
give you a general idea of what can
be achieved with the unit. However,
the ways in which to use the units and
the brushes are in most cases
universal.
It is most helpful to
always have a micro fiber cloth or 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 the brush or place in the basket
of your dishwasher.
Note
: Wipe immediately before the
cleaned area dries. When cleaning
the oven, use the detail brush to clean
around the elements, drip trays,
cracks, crevices, and hard to reach
areas.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use
the detail brush for grout, shower door
tracks, hard to get areas and heavily
soiled areas. The window squeegee will
be the most efficient way to clean the rest
of the area. Allow plenty of time for the
heat to penetrate the surface. This is
especially helpful in the shower area if
there is tile or grout.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use angle
concentrator/brush adapter with or
without the nylon detail brush.
To clean the sink and faucets, use nylon
detail brush.
