OPERATING THE HANDHELD STEAM CLEANER
Before operating, make sure all desired accessories are connected and Boiler is filled with the
correct amount of water (refer to Pages 7-10 for details).
1. For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug. Plug power
cord into a convenient 3-prong electrical outlet. Heating Indicator Light will illuminate to show
that unit is receiving power and Boiler has begun to heat.
CAUTION: This unit uses a grounded (3-prong) electrical plug. Use only in properly
installed 3-prong electrical outlets. Do not attempt to alter plug or circumvent this safety
feature in any way.
2. After approximately 3-4 minutes, Heating Indicator Light will turn off. This indicates that Boiler
is fully heated, and unit is ready to begin steaming.
NOTE: Heating Indicator Light may cycle off and on during use, accompanied by a slight
temporary drop in steam pressure - this is normal.
3. Point Steam Nozzle (and any connected accessories) towards surface you wish to steam, and
press Steam Button. Hold Button down for a continuous flow of steam.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle and other accessories are pointed in a safe
direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before pressing Steam Button.
NOTE: When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you consult
the manufacturer’s guidelines for material being steamed. For items in question, test steam
on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.
4. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will enhance the cleaning
process, as will scrubbing the area (if a Utility Brush is connected). Wipe steamed areas with a
clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime.
CAUTION: Wiping an area while it is still wet is recommended, but use care when wiping
surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.
5. To effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms, hold Steam Nozzle (and any connected
accessories) approximately 1/2 inch from surface and press Steam Button. Keep Button held and
concentrate steam on the same spot for at least 5 seconds.
6. Full Boiler (6 oz. / 177 ml.) will provide approximately 8 minutes of steam. If you wish to
continue steaming, refer to procedure on Page 10 to refill Boiler.
7. Once you are finished using your Handheld Steam Cleaner, immediately unplug power cord form
electrical outlet. Refer to Page 12 for proper cleaning and storage procedures.
