HOW TO USE

STEAM CLEANING
NOTE: Be sure that Reservoir has been filled and that all desired accessories are connected
before following these steps.
1. For first time use, remove protective plastic cover from electrical plug. Plug power cord
into a convenient electrical outlet.
2. Push the Power button. Heating Indicator Light will illuminate red to show unit is heating.
3. After approximately 10 minutes (depending on how much water is in Reservoir), Heating
Indicator Light will turn to green, indicating that unit is fully heated and ready to begin
steaming.
4. Direct Steam Nozzle (and any connected accessories) towards surface you wish to
steam, and press Steam Trigger.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle and any accessories are pointed in a safe
direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before pressing
Steam Trigger.
5. Hold Steam Trigger down for a continuous flow of steam. You may also slide the Steam
Lock Switch in the middle while pressing the Steam Trigger to lock it down. This will allow a
continuous flow of steam without need of holding the Steam Trigger down manually.
6. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further
enhance the cleaning process. Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove
loosened dirt and grime. Wiping the area while it is still wet is recommended, but use
caution when wiping surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.
NOTE: During use, the Heating Indicator Light may turn from green to red. This is normal.
If you notice a drop in steam pressure, release Steam Trigger until Heating Indicator Light
turns green again. Proceed steaming cleaning.
7. To effectively kill bacteria and other microorganisms, hold Steam Nozzle (and any
connected accessories) approximately 1/2 inch from surface and press Steam Trigger.
Keep Steam Trigger held and concentrate steam on the same spot for at least 5
seconds.
8. Once steaming tasks are complete, immediately press Power Button to turn unit OFF and
unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet. Follow steps under Proper Storage
procedure on Page 16 of this manual.
