HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER

1. Remove the boiler cap (1) and fill the tank with up to 0.5 gallon / 1.8 litres of regular tap water. Securely replace the boiler cap. The refilling bottle is 30 oz / 900 ml.
2. Unravel completely the electrical cord (9). Connect the electrical cord to a 15 or 20 amp 110V/120V power outlet. (make sure the circuit is not already used by another high wattage appliance).
3. Turn ON the main power switch (2A), press the power button (2), and then press the boiler activation button (3). The SteamReady™ indicator (5) will light up when the steam cleaner is ready to use, after approximately 7-10 minutes of heat up time. This light is only ON when the unit is at maximum operating pressure. While in use, the light will turn OFF automatically, indicating that the boiler is producing steam.
4. Connect the steam hose (10) by inserting the steam hose connector (15) in the steam hose connection outlet (7) and press firmly.
5. Select the desired steam pressure (on the hose handle) between minimum, medium and maximum (12).
6. Connect the steam hose (10) to the accessory that you want to use.
7. To release steam, press the steam release trigger (11) on the hose handle.
8. When you are done using your steam cleaner, turn the unit OFF by pressing on the power button (2). Turn OFF the main power switch (2A) and unplug the machine. Your steam cleaner is now ready for storage after cool down.
   
   Always turn OFF the main power switch (2A) when leaving the machine unattended.
9. It is safe to leave water in the boiler when the steam cleaner is not in use. If it is for an extended period of time (months), then it is best to flush out the remaining water. To do so, follow the water removal instructions as outlined in the maintenance of the boiler section.

REFILLING WITH WATER

When the low water indicators (4,34) turn ON, turn the boiler activation switch (3) OFF. Let the unit cool down for 10 minutes and press the steam release trigger until all steam pressure is released. Once the boiler has no more pressure left or when cold, you can safely open the cap and refill. Refill with 2 bottles of water (0.5 gal / 1.8L) and refasten the boiler cap. If you add too much water in the boiler, steam will be more humid and wet. Leave space for steam!

Never open the boiler cap when under pressure.

Never put anything else other than clean water in the boiler.

FEATURES

This model is equipped with the following features:

LOW WATER INDICATORS (4,34)

A red warning light signals that the water needs to be refilled. If you wish to continue steam cleaning, see the "Refilling with Water" instructions.

VARIABLE PRESSURE (12)

With the steam pressure regulator, it is possible to select the steam pressure that you wish to use during your cleaning from minimum, medium and maximum (12).

STEAMREADY™ INDICATOR (5)

Lets you know when the steam cleaner is operating at optimal pressure and ready to use.

ADI™ DISPLAY (6)

TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE DISPLAY

While the steam cleaner is ON (number 2A, 2 and 3), the temperature indicated on the display is in °F. To display the operating pressure in psi, press and hold the button (3). After 10 seconds, the display will return to the operating internal temperature.

HOUR COUNTER

This device is equipped with two hour counter; C1 and C2. C1 is fixed and C2 is resettable by the user. To display them, turn off the unit with the power button (2), then press the boiler activation button (3); every time you will press the button (3) the display will show respectively the hour counter C1 and the hour counter C2.

RESETTING THE HOUR COUNTER C2

Turn the steam cleaner off by pressing main power switch (2A) located in the rear side of the unit.
Press both buttons (2) and (3) and hold them; in the meantime turn the machine on by pressing the main power switch (2A).

MAINTENANCE REMINDER DESCALE BOILER

The steam cleaner is equipped with a maintenance reminder which indicates descale boiler on the display alternating with the temperature. When the display indicates DESCALE BOILER, it is time to perform a boiler maintenance. Let the steam cleaner cool down for at least 8 hours before proceeding. Please refer to the maintenance instructions to complete the boiler maintenance.

USING THE ACCESSORIES

CONNECTING THE HOSE (10)

Insert the steam hose connector (15) into the steam hose connection outlet (7) all the way, making sure it cannot be pushed in further. Ensure the hose locking pin (16) is in place.

This hose contains electrical connections, do not immerse in water for cleaning.

EXTENSION TUBES (17)

Connect the steam hose (10) to the extension tubes (17), until the accessory lock (14) snaps in. All the accessories are connected the same way.

RECTANGULAR TOOL (19)

The rectangular tool (19) is used to clean walls, floors and carpets. Use it with the microfiber cloth (32) or microfiber bonnet (36) to glide smoothly over the surface by attaching it to the cloth holding clips (20). Change the cloth when saturated with dirt. Use the rectangular tool directly when you need additional scrubbing action, for example when cleaning ceramic or porous tiles.

MICROFIBER PAD (33)

The microfiber pad (33) is used to glide smoothly over floors and carpets. To use this accessory, place the rectangular tool (19) directly over it. Wrap the extremities of the cloth around the tool and under the cloth holding clips (20).

Always respect the surface that you are cleaning, adhere to the surface cleaning instructions and do a colour test on a hidden section before you begin cleaning.

WINDOW TOOL (22)

The window tool (22) makes the cleaning and degreasing of windows easy. Attach the window tool to the extension tubes (17) or directly on the steam hose (10). Use the foam side to steam, scrub and vacuum the window and flip the tool to wipe off dirt and condensation using the squeegee side. Wipe corners with a cloth.

During cold weather, warm up the windows with the window tool from a 2"-4" distance and with very little steam flow before starting the actual cleaning ( to prevent possible damage to the window ).

TRIANGULAR TOOL (21)

The triangular tool (21) is used where it is impossible or awkward to use the rectangular tool. It is the best tool to use for cleaning, as steam gets insulated by a thick microfiber cloth (32) or microfiber bonnet (35). The cloth attached to the triangular tool will pick up dirt and clean any surface. Change the cloth when saturated with dirt.

UPHOLSTERY, DRAPERY, BEDDING, ETC.

Cover the tool with a clean dry cloth attaching it under the triangular tool cloth holding clips. Use a rapid back and forth motion, making sure that you do not over saturate the material with steam.

Always respect the surface that you are cleaning, adhere to the surface cleaning instructions and do a colour test on a hidden section before you begin cleaning.

LANCE (23) WITH BRUSHES (24 TO 27) (NYLON, BRASS, STAINLESS STEEL)

The lance (23) can be used with or without one of the detail brushes supplied with the steam cleaner. For items that are particularly prone to scratches, it is best to use the lance without a brush. For all other areas, start with the nylon brush (25) (least abrasive) and carefully work your way up to the brass (26), then the stainless steel brush (27). It is always best to be careful when using the brushes to prevent damage or scratching of delicate surfaces.

The use of the lance alone is particularly good for cleaning and degreasing many working surfaces, ventilation hoods, oven doors, ventilation grating, kitchen furniture, stainless steel or enamel sinks, hand-basins, bath-tubs, water taps (to remove scale and water residue), doors, metal frames, car wheel rims, pet areas etc. The nylon brush, because of its softness, is ideal for removing the dirt from grout, sinks and other surfaces where you need some light scrubbing action, but need to be careful not to scratch the surface. Use the large nylon brush (24) with or without the steel wool (30) to clean larger surfaces.

Tougher cleaning jobs may require the use of the brass brush (26) that is supplied. Please make sure you are careful that this tool does not scratch the surface. Brass is tougher than nylon, but softer than stainless steel. For surfaces (grout for example) where the dirt is not being properly lifted with the nylon brush, carefully using the brass brush may give the best results.

For the toughest cleaning assignments (very caked on grease, rust, BBQ grills, very dirty grout), we recommend that you use the stainless steel (27) brushes.

When using the lance with or without the brushes, you will need a cloth to wipe off the moisture and dirt that has been lifted through cleaning.

Always respect the surface that you are cleaning, adhere to the surface cleaning instructions and do a colour test on a hidden section before you begin cleaning.

STEAM SCRAPPER (28)

The steam scrapper (28) is used for removing stickers, wallpapers and adhesives. Attach it to the lance (23).

PLUNGER TOOL (29)

The plunger tool (29) is used to unclog drains. Attach the plunger tool to the lance (23), place the tool firmly on the drain and blow the steam inside the drain for a few seconds. Steam will melt away residue and remove odors.
