HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER

Unpacking: Insert the handle bar (2) into the cart and fix it with the handle bar screws (3).

1. Fill the blue water tank (5) with up to 1.8 gal / 7 litres of clean tap water. Securely replace the water tank cap rubber cover. Never put detergent in the water tank!
   DIRECT WATER FEED CONNEXION:
   To feed the steam cleaner directly using a water line, use a 3/8 to 1/2 inch quality rubber hose with a garden hose not exceeding 50ft fitting on the direct water intake connection (11). Securely tighten the hose connection by hand. Water pressure in the hose should not exceed 84 psi. Connect only to a city potable water supply. Do not use any other water source for direct feed.
2. Fill the yellow detergent tank (4) with up to 1.8 gal / 7 litres of diluted detergent solution (see the Refilling with detergent section for details).
3. Connect the steam cleaner electrical cord (12) to a 220/240V electrical outlet with a minimum of 30 amps available.
   If you're using a generator, you will require a minimum of 6000W running power on 220/240V. Ask a certified electrician to make sure the voltage and amperage correspond to your steam cleaner specifications and that your steam cleaner is safely wired.
4. Turn ON the main power switch (1), press the power button (14) on the control panel (6), and then press the boiler activation button (15). The working control light (17) should be brightly lit. If you are feeding the machine directly with a water hose, press the direct water intake button (16). The SteamReady™ indicator (18) will light up when the steam cleaner is ready to use, after approximately 8 minutes of heat up time.
5. Connect the steam hose (25) by inserting the steam hose connector (27) in the steam hose connection outlet (7) and press firmly until the hose locking pin (26) clicks.
6. Select the desired steam pressure (on the hose handle) between minimum, medium and maximum (30).
7. Connect the steam hose (25) to the accessory that you want to use.
8. To release steam, press the steam release trigger (28) on the hose handle.
9. When the steam cleaner is low on water, an audible alarm will come on and the low water indicator (19) will light up, indicating the need to safely refill with water.
10. When you are done using your steam cleaner, turn the unit OFF by pressing on the power button (14). Turn OFF the main power switch (1). Your steam cleaner is now ready for storage after it cools down.
    
    Always turn OFF the main power switch when leaving the machine unattended.
11. 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 from the boiler. To do so, follow the water removal instructions as outlined in the maintenance of the boiler section. You can also drain the blue water and yellow detergent tanks by unscrewing the tank drain caps (9 and 8) under the unit.

REFILLING WITH WATER
Equipped with CST™ (Continuous Steam Technology), your steam cleaner can be refilled at anytime during operation. When the water level inside the tank is low, the low water indicator light (19) will turn ON and the low water alarm will sound. You can simply refill the water up to a maximum of 1.8 gal/7 liters.

Never put anything else other than water in the boiler.

REFILLING WITH DETERGENT
You can refill the yellow detergent tank (4) at any time. Do not put anything else than authorized non-foaming diluted detergent in the tank. Always dilute the solution to approximately 1 part concentrated detergent to 10 parts water. Putting only water in the detergent tank can cause faults to the mixing circuit.
To drain the detergent tank, unscrew the tank cap (8) located under the steam cleaner.

Detergents used in extraction systems are foamy and will cause damages to the machine.

Once heated to temperatures above 100°C, some detergents available in commerce will emanate highly dangerous toxic gases.
Always use the detergent injection feature in a well ventilated area. Always consult the MSDS data sheet from the manufacturer.

Never put any solvents or acidic detergent inside the detergent tank.

This machine has been designed for use with cleaning agent supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may adversely affect the safety of the machine.

FEATURES

This model is equiped with the following features:

LOW WATER INDICATOR (19)
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.

STEAM PRESSURE CONTROL (33)
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 (33).

HOT WATER INJECTION (35)
To release a blast of hot water in the steam, press the button (35) on the hose handle and hold the steam release trigger (28) at the same time. Do not use the hot water injection for more than 5 seconds at a time.

Once the LED light sequence finishes, release the timer adjusment buttons (22 and 23) and the C2 counter should be set to 0.

MAINTENANCE REMINDER DESCALE BOILER
To reset the DESCALE BOILER display, press and hold the steam pressure indicator button (21) and switch the unit OFF by pressing on the power button (14). The DESCALE BOILER indicator will then disappear from the display and will only appear at the next maintenance interval.

CLOCK
This steam cleaner features an adjustable clock. To adjust the time, turn the steam cleaner OFF with the power button (14) (the main power switch (1) is ON). Press the clock button (24), hold, and adjust time using the buttons - (22) and + (23).
The internal battery for the clock will last about 30 days without power.

USING THE ACCESSORIES

CONNECTING THE HOSE (25)
Insert the steam hose connector (27) into the steam hose connection outlet (7) all the way, making sure it cannot be pushed in further. Ensure the hose blocking clip (26) is in place.

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

EXTENSION TUBES (39)
Connect the steam hose (25) to the extension tubes (39), until the accessory lock (40) snaps in. All the accessories are connected the same way.

RECTANGULAR TOOL (36)
The rectangular tool (36) is used to clean walls, floors and carpets. Use it with the microfiber cloth (50) or the microfiber pad (51) to glide smoothly over the surface by attaching it to the cloth holding clips (37). 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 (51)
The microfiber pad (51) is used to glide smoothly over floors and carpets. To use this accessory, place the rectangular tool (25) directly over it. Wrap the extremities of the cloth around the tool and under the cloth holding clips (37).

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 (41)
The window tool (41) makes the cleaning and degreasing of windows easy. Attach the window tool to the extensions (39) or directly on the steam hose (25). 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 (38)
The triangular tool (38) is used where it is impossible or awkward to use the rectangular tool. It is the best tool to use for disinfection, as steam gets insulated by a thick microfiber cloth (50). The cloth attached to the triangular tool will pick up dirt and disinfect 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 (42) WITH BRUSHES (43 TO 46)
(NYLON, BRASS, STAINLESS STEEL)
The lance (42) 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 (44) (least abrasive) and carefully work your way up to the brass (45), then the stainless steel brush (46). 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 (43) with or without the steel wool (49) to clean larger surfaces.
Tougher cleaning jobs may require the use of the brass brush 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 brushes (46).
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 (47)
The steam scrapper (43) is used for removing stickers, wallpapers and adhesives. Attach it to the lance (42),and let steam dissolve the glue. Slowly pull the adhesive with your fingers to remove it.

PLUNGER TOOL (48)
The plunger tool (48) is used to unclog drains. Attach the plunger tool to the lance (42), 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.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE OF THE BOILER
To maintain your steam cleaner in good condition and to ensure constant performance, we recommend that you periodically clean the boiler after every 25 hours of use or less depending on the water hardness. The ADI™ will display DESCALE BOILER when the boiler needs to be maintained.
