TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the bristle brush. Slowly move the
brush over the surface to be cleaned.
The vapor will emulsify the dirt and
grease on the surface. Follow behind
with a terry cloth towel over the brush to
remove excess moisture and residue.
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless
steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda
water after it is cleaned.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use
the bristle brush for grout, shower door
tracks, hard to get areas and heavily
soiled areas. The window squeegee will
be the most efficient way to clean the rest
of the area. Allow plenty of time for the
heat to penetrate the surface. This is
especially helpful in the shower area if
there is tile or grout. Wipe with towel.
Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and
shower doors is also easier with the
steam cleaner.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use the
concentrator with or without bristle brush.
Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to
wipe up excess moisture and residue.
To clean the sink and faucets, use bristle
brush then finish by wiping with a towel.
Soap Scum
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately
under a combination of heat and
moisture. Rinse the surface with a small
amount of water afterwards or go back
over it once more with a clean terry cloth
towel.
Note: Soap scum sometimes will
develop a hard surface from waterborne
minerals. If this is the case, use the
bristle brush to break up this surface - or
spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or
seltzer soda water to soften the minerals.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap
scum and cause it to granulate on the
surface. The surface will have a gritty
feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the
surface with the bristle brush again and
re-clean.
Garden Furniture
Use the brushes depending on the
surface area. Work quickly when
cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by
wiping with a towel.
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit) as the steam cleaner.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum
of 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.
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.
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the window squeegee. Work with
the vapor jet on using the top to bottom
movements. Use the squeegee with the
vapor off to clear the water from the
glass. To do this without leaving streaks,
use lateral movements from the top to
the bottom of the surface.
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the concentrator with or without the
bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled
area, allowing the steam to penetrate.
Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel.
Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub).
Repeat as necessary to remove stain.
Vacuum only after the carpet has
completely dried.
Always test color fastness of carpet in an
inconspicuous area before cleaning.
If your steam cleaner fails to remove
stubborn stains a commercially available
carpet shampoo may be required. 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.
CAUTION: When cleaning windows,
always avoid any sudden changes in
temperature to prevent glass breakage or
cracks.
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.
CAUTION:
Always drain condensed water from hose
before use or if unit has been left idle for a period of time. To
drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink
and depress hand grip steam trigger. Once hose has been
drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle
towards people, animals or plants.
WARNING: Your Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces
and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft plastics
and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no
wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Do
not use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood grain to rise. It is
therefore recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be
cleaned before proceeding.
