Indicator Lights: The steam cleaner has
an indicator light located at the base of the
unit that will illuminate when the unit is
plugged into the 120V wall outlet.
Red Light: When the red indicator light
illuminates, this indicates that the power is
“On”.
Green Light: When the green indicator
light illuminates, the steam is ready.
CAUTION: Read the instructions for
“Filling or Refilling Your Steam Cleaner
with Water” before opening the safety filler
cap.
CAUTION: Always unplug before filling.
ALLOW UNIT TO COOL FOR FIFTEEN
(15) MINUTES BEFORE REFILLING.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any
other chemicals to the boiler in this
appliance. Use tap water or
distilled/purified water if the tap water
in your area is very hard.
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. (Fig. 12)
Using Your Steam Cleaner
After you have assembled the steam
cleaner and are ready to use:
1. When you press the steam trigger it
will lock in place and you will have
continuous steam.
2. To stop the flow of steam, press the
steam trigger release button.
3. When using the unit with the
shoulder strap, avoid rocking or
tilting the unit excessively as this
may cause water to enter the hoes
and be discharged along with the
steam.

WARNING: Extreme care should be
taken when refilling the unit. Allow unit
to cool for15 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. Use caution when
opening the filler cap as the cap may
become hot during use and escaping
steam can cause scalding.
5. To attach the concentrator nozzle or
the steam/garment diffuser to the
nozzle: align the two pins on the end
of the concentrator nozzle or
steam/garment diffuser with the
notches in the nozzle of the unit.
(Fig. 2)
6. Push the attachment into the nozzle
unit it stops against the unit. Turn
clockwise ¼ turn to lock the
attachment into place. Allow
approximately 5 minutes for vapor
to reach its working temperature and
pressure. When the unit is ready for
use, the green indicator light will
illuminate. Always point the nozzle in
a safe direction. At the start, some
water will come out from the nozzle.
This is normal.
NOTE: When the steam cleaner has run
out of water, steam output will cease.
CAUTION: This appliance is under
pressure. After every use, press steam
trigger button until all pressure has been
released before removing safety cap. Allow
unit to cool for fifteen (15) minutes before
refilling.
