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 6: Connect desired attachments
onto the Flexible Steam Hose.
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. The
green ready light will illuminate
when the unit is ready for use.
Always point nozzle outlet in a safe
direction.
When the steam cleaner has run
water, steam output will cease.
Remove the funnel slowly and let
the remaining water in it to go
inside the water tank. Do Not
Overfill. Replace the Safety
Filler Cap.
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/Filler Cap as cap may
become hot during use and
escaping steam can cause
scalding.

escaping steam can cause
scalding.
If you consistently use demineralized or
distilled water, cleaning the tank is
unnecessary.
Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner
Normally, a periodic rinse of your portable
steam cleaner will free it from deposits.
This is recommended every 10-15
tankfulls, to free up any scale deposits
from the tank.
Fill the boiler with 20 oz. of water and
shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the
cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of
water and any scale deposits.
Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high
level of calcium deposits and you have
been using tap water to do your steam
cleaning, you should descale your unit
after 10-15 tankfulls.
Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from
the power source before you
descale the boiler. Allow to cool.
Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part
vinegar and 5 parts water and
leave overnight or for a period
of approximately 8 hours. Do
not screw the safety/filler cap
onto the steam cleaner while
you are descaling the boiler.
Do not use the steam cleaner
while descaling solution is
inside the boiler.
Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn
the steam cleaner upside down
to empty solution from the
boiler. Due to the fact that a
small amount of solution will be
left in the boiler, it is necessary
to rinse the boiler out with clean
water 2 or 3 times. Your steam
cleaner is now ready for use.
