IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
Blinds
Use the detail brush to clean blinds.
Move the brush over the surface, allowing
enough time for the vapor to penetrate.
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for
color fastness on fabric blinds before
using.
When using your Deluxe Portable Pro Steam Cleaner, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including the following:
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the floor brush with a terry cloth
attached. Move the brush across the floor as
if you are mopping. When the towel is
soiled, you can turn the towel over or replace
it with a clean towel. If you are working on a
very dirty area, you can move the brush over
the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood
floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture
buildup in the wood. By cleaning with the
towel over the brush, you will not affect the
shine on the floor.
To Strip Wax: Use floor brush for open
areas; detail brush for corners or tight areas -
no towel, slow strokes. Work a small area at
a time - remove the emulsified wax from the
floor. When all of the wax has been stripped,
immediately clean the floor and brushes with
water before residue has a chance to harden
on them. Go back over the stripped area
with the floor brush with a towel to remove
any remaining residue before waxing.
To Clean Waxed Floors: Wrap clean towel
around the floor brush, brush quickly. This
will cause the dirt to be removed but not the
wax.
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to buildup in
any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it
enough to affect its texture. Work fast on
vinyl.
Tile Floors: Use the angle concentrator/
brush adapter with the detail brush attached
to an extension. Have the floor brush with
cloth attached ready as well. Clean the grout
between the tiles with the detail brush.
Remove the detail brush and attach the floor
brush, move the brush across the floor to
clean the tile and remove excess moisture
and residue. For areas of tile that are very
dirty, remove the towel and agitate with the
brush. Do not let the area dry before you
wipe it up.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:
• Do not leave the Deluxe Portable Pro
Steam Cleaner plugged in when unattended.
Unplug the electrical cord when not in use and
before servicing or refilling water tank.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.
• Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close
a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or steam cleaner with wet
hands or operate without shoes.
• Do not put any objects into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked.
• Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry
area.
• Keep your work area well lit.
• When in use, never turn the appliance over
or on its side. Never direct steam towards
people, animals or plants.
• Do not immerse the steam cleaner into water
or other liquids. Always unplug the power
cord from the electrical socket when filling the
steam cleaner.
• Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented
perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to
the water used in this appliance as this
may damage the unit or make it unsafe for
use. Use regular tap water or distilled/purified
water if the tap water in your area is very hard.
• When using the steam cleaner, please note
that the force and the heat of the steam may
damage certain surfaces or textiles. Always
test on a small, concealed area of the material
that you are steam cleaning. i.e. painted wood
or leather can be bleached with hot steam;
glossy plastic can be dulled, fabrics such as
acrylic, velvet and linen can react sensitively
to the temperature of the steam.
1. Read all instructions before using your
Deluxe Portable Steam Pro Cleaner.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,
do not immerse any part of the system in
water or other liquids.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let the system cool completely before
putting away or before opening the water
tank (removing the safety cap) . Wrap
power cord loosely around your system
when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling or emptying water tank
and when not in use.
7. Do not operate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the Deluxe Portable Pro Steam
Cleaner. Return the system to EURO-PRO
Operating LLC (see warranty) for
examination and repair. Incorrect re-
assembly or repair can cause a risk of
electrical shock or injury to persons when
the Deluxe Portable Pro Steamer is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Do not turn
upside down as there may be hot water in
the unit. Never direct steam at any person.
The steam is very hot and can cause burns.
10. Do not operate in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.
11. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions
in this manual.
12. Never use any chemicals or substance
other than tap water in the machine. Use of
chemicals may damage the machine. Use
of chemicals will automatically void your
warranty.
Refrigerator - Use the angle
concentrator/brush adapter alone to blow
away dirt in the ice machine and on door
seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack
the seals as chemicals often do. Can
openers and other kitchen equipment can
be easily cleaned with the detail brush to
get into all the nooks and crannies.
To clean microwaves or other small
appliances use the detail brush for small
areas.
Note: When cleaning small electrical
appliances always unplug them from outlet
before cleaning.
Upholstery
Use the floor brush attached directly to
the hand grip with a clean white terry
cloth towel. Use fast, light strokes, avoid
getting the fabric wet. Be patient with
stubborn spots; work on a spot gently for
no more than a minute at a time, then
wait five minutes for the area to dry and
repeat. Use circular movements or back-
and-forth and side-to-side movements to
get all sides of surface fibers. Finish with
a brushing in one direction that will give
the fabric a uniform appearance.
CAUTION: Always determine the
color-fastness of any fabric-especially
with reds or blues - by taking a clean,
moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a
small area as far down on the back or
other out of the way place on the
furniture as possible. If color comes off
on the towel, you may need to have the
piece dry cleaned.

Exterior Areas
To clean inside your car, use the floor brush
with a terry cloth towel attached to clean
upholstery and interior areas just as in the
home. You should not expose the bristles
to leather - use only the brush with the terry
cloth towel attached. For detailing the
wheels, use the angle concentrator and the
detail brush. Exterior windows are cleaned
best by applying the vapor with the angle
concentrator and following with a paper
towel.
To clean bicycles, use the detail brush.
To clean equipment, use the detail brush,
depending on the surface area.
Note: When using the steam cleaner,
please note that the force and the heat of
the steam may damage certain surfaces or
textiles. Always test on a small, concealed
area of the material that you are steam
cleaning. i.e. painted wood or leather can
be bleached with hot steam; glossy plastic
can be dulled, fabrics such as acrylic,
velvet and linen can react sensitively to the
temperature of the steam.
