Filling or Refilling Your Steam
Cleaner With Water
IMPORTANT:
Always insure that the unit
is “UNPLUGGED” from the wall receptacle
prior to initial filling or re-filling the water
tank and has been allowed to cool for 15
minutes. Never attempt to fill this unit
under a water tap, always use the filling
funnel provided.

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 2: Plug the power cord in to an electrical
outlet and press the steam trigger on
the hand grip to vent any residual
steam that is in the boiler.
Step 3: Remove the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
Step 4: Place the unit on a flat, stable
surface. Slowly turn the safety filler
cap counter clockwise until it is
removed.
Step 5: Insert the funnel into the tank
opening and add 27 US fl, oz.
(800 ml) of water. (Fig. 2) Place the
funnel in the tank opening as
illustrated in Fig. 1. The funnel has
been specially designed to show
when the water tank is full. When
water starts to come out of the vent
hole of the funnel, the tank is full.
Remove the funnel slowly and let the
remaining water in it to go inside the
water tank. Do Not Overfill. Replace
the Safety Cap.
NOTE:
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
Cap as it may become hot during
use and escaping steam can
cause scalding.
Step 6: Connect desired attachments
onto the end of the hand grip.
Step 7: Plug the unit into a standard
(120 volt, grounded) wall
receptacle. Allow approximately
8-10 minutes for vapor to reach
its working temperature and
pressure. When the unit is ready
for use, the red light will change
to green. Always point nozzle
outlet in a safe direction. At the
start, some water will come out
from the nozzle. This is normal.
When the steam cleaner has run
out of water, steam output will
cease.

points
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. 11, 12 & 13.

IMPORTANT: When using the
steam cleaner 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.
