TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hints
ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING
DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A
TOWEL
The steam cleaner has many uses that
have not been mentioned. This was
meant only to give you a general idea of
what can be achieved with the unit.
However, the ways in which to use the
attachments and brushes are in most
cases universal. It is most helpful to
always have a terry cloth towel or paper
towel ready to use for removal of
moisture and residue. 100% white
cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your
steam cleaner. When cleaning the detail
brush, use a pair of pliers to hold and
blow dirt as above or place in the basket
of your dishwasher.
Note: Wipe with a towel immediately
before the cleaned area dries. When
cleaning the oven, use the detail brush
to clean around the elements and drip
trays. Use the detail brush for cracks,
crevices, and hard to reach areas.
Refrigerator - Use the concentrator 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. Mold stains
around door gaskets can be removed
with the detail brush.
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.
To clean counter tops, use the steam
pocket frame and steam pocket. For
heavily soiled areas, use the detail
brush first in order to loosen the debris,
then follow with a terry cloth towel to
finish.
Blinds
Use the nylon bristle 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. Finish by
wiping with a towel.
Automotive
For detailing the wheels, use the
concentrator and the bristle brush.
Exterior windows are cleaned best by
using the window squeegee.
To clean bicycles, use the bristle brush.
To clean equipment, use the bristle
brush, depending on the surface area.
Finish by wiping down with a towel.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator without a brush
attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply
“vaporize” the surface from a distance
(12”-18”) and pull or stretch the fabric to
remove the wrinkles. The dry vapor
removes wrinkles without leaving the
fabric wet like ordinary fabric steamers
do.
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high
temperatures and becomes a light
yellow oil that has the consistency of
sewing machine oil. When the
nicotine/tar film is touched by steam
pocket, it immediately dissolves and
flows into the steam pocket towel. You
can remove it from flat surfaces as fast
as you can move the steam pocket over
the surface.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the
surface of materials and can be easily
and quickly removed by “blowing”
excess material away from the surface
from the side. This is accomplished by
using the concentrator. Hold the terry
cloth towel to the side to catch the loose
residue as it is blown by the
concentrator. Note: Always vacuum
any loose residue off the surface before
you apply vapor to it.
When using your Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:
• Do not leave the 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 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 turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.
• 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.
• ALWAYS STORE YOUR APPLIANCE
INDOORS in a cool, dry area.
• Do keep your work area well lit.
• Do Not 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 tap water or distilled/purified
water if the tap water in your area is very hard.
1. Read all instructions before using your
steam 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 opening water tank
(removing the safety cap). Wrap cord
loosely around system when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use. Always turn the
safety cap slowly when opening the water
tank . This will allow any remaining steam
to escape gradually.
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 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 steam cleaner is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected to electrical outlet or when hot.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Use caution
when draining unit after use 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.
