How To Assemble & Use
Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner utilizes pressurized steam to remove tough grease,dirt
and grime.
Steam is nature’s purest and most powerful cleaner for safely cleaning all hard
surfaces in your home without harsh chemicals, thus being perfectly ecological. The appliance has
various attachments so that it can be used for many purposes such as:
1. Clean upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.
2. Easy to clean difficult to reach areas with the angle adapter or concentrator such as
faucets, etc.
3. Ideal for windows, mirrors, glass doors, etc.
4. Clean fabrics, window coverings, pillows, bedding etc.
5. Clean hard surface areas such as counters, sinks, shower door tracks, etc.
CAUTION:
Do not plug in the machine during filling. Use a grounded
receptacle. Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15
amps - Do not use an ordinary extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance.
Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.
WARNING: Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard
surfaces and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft
plastics,unsealed wood and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with
wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam
action. Do not use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood grain to rise. It
is therefore recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned
before proceeding.
