CARE & MAINTENANCE ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS cont.
CAUTION: This appliance must be
unplugged from the electrical outlet
and allowed to cool down before
performing any cleaning or
maintenance tasks on the unit.
Cleaning the Nozzles:
Your steamer should not normally require
cleaning, however, should you notice a
marked decrease in steam output it may
be necessary to remove mineral deposit
build-up from the nozzle orifice. First
ensure that there is water in the tank. If
tank is empty, fill with water, (we
recommend using purified or
demineralized water), then re-start unit
noting whether steam output is normal. If
steam output is still low, follow these
cleaning instructions:
1. Unplug steam cleaner from wall
outlet.
2. Depress trigger to release any
residual pressure in the boiler.
3. Use a small diameter stiff metal
wire such as a straightened metal
paperclip and carefully insert the
end of the wire into the nozzle
orifice. See illustrations below.
4. Move wire back and forth several
times to remove any deposits.
5. Reconnect appliance to power
outlet, switch on and note steam
output.
6. If steam performance does not
improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit)
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage cord should be used.
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so
that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical outlet.
• Let the appliance cool down
completely before cleaning or storing.
• Depress the trigger before opening
the safety cap in order to release any
residual pressure in the boiler.
• Empty all water from the water tank
after each use.
• Store in a dry, cool place.
• A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner
will free it from deposits. This is
recommended every 10-15 tankfulls
to free up any scale deposits. Fill the
boiler with water and shake
vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside
down to empty the boiler of water and
any scale deposits.

WARNING:
This appliance is equipped with a
grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong
plug). This plug will only fit into an
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong
plug. This is a safety feature. If the
plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact
an electrician to replace the outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding pin, part of
the 3-prong plug.
