your cleaning
needs.
However,
if
you
live
in
an
area
with
hard
water, use
de-mineralized
/
distilled
water
when steaming light
colored
fabrics to
eliminate
the
possibility of hard water
stains.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented
perfumes,
oils
or any
other chemicals
to the
water
used
in
this
appliance.
•
Use tap water or
distilled/purified
water if the tap water in your area is
very hard.

WARNING
:
The
steam
pocket
. . .
can
become hot enough
to
burn.
Make sure that
you
let the
steam
pocket
cool
off for 5
minutes
before
touching
it.
Efficient Work
For
vertical
surfaces,
wipe with
a
towel from the top
down,
in
this
way
the
dirty water will
not soil
surfaces already
cleaned.
Avoid changing
brushes
back
and
forth
while cleaning
.
Start with
the
smallest brush
to
clean tight spots and
corners
first.
Use a towel to wipe
dirt
as soon
as
possible, otherwise
it
will
dry and
re-adhere
to the
surface.
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the
Steam Pocket
™
to clean wood,
Vinyl
and
marble
floors. Move the
Steam Pocket
™
across the floor
as if
you
are mopping. When
one side of the
towel is soiled, turn the
Steam
PockePM
fram
e
and
use the
other side. One of
the
grea
t advantages
of using
our
Steam Pocket
™
is
that
your floor will dry
faster
than
if you
used a mop
or other
floor
clea
ning
device
.
It is normal that
some
moisture
may be left
behind
depending
on
how
quickly you
move the
Steam
Pocket ' " across the floor
and the
relative heat
and
humidity of the
room.
Be
sure
to move
quickly and steadily
over
wood,
linoleum
and vinyl
flooring to
avoid
damaging the
surface and
removing wax.
To Clean Waxed Floors
:
Use the
Steam PockeP Mwith
quick strokes.
This will cause
the
dirt
to be removed
but
not the wax
.
Vinyl Floors
: Do not allow
heat to build
up in
any
kind of
viny
l since
it
can soften
it enough
to
affect
its
texture.
Work fast
on vinyl.
Tile Floors
: Use the
concentrator with
the bristle
brush
.
Have the Stea
m
Pocket"

Move the
Steam
Pocket t"
across
the floor to clean the
tile
and
remove excess moisture and residue.
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use
the conce
ntrator 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 clea
ning.
If
your steam
cleaner
fails to
remove
stubborn
stains a
commercially available carpet shampoo
may be
required.
Upholstery
Use the steam pocket
or
the
steam
diffuser with
the bonnet attached
directly
to
the hand grip.
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 then
blot
with
a towel.
Finish with
a
brushing in one direction
that will
give
the fabric a uniform
appea
rance.
It..
CAUTION:

determine
. . . the color-fastness
of
any
