Setup

1. Prepare the Unit: Place the steam cleaner on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the unit is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Fill the Water Tank: Unscrew the safety cap on top of the unit. Use the provided water jug and funnel to fill the tank with clean tap water. Do not overfill; the maximum capacity is 50 fl. oz. Do not add any cleaning solutions or chemicals to the water tank. Securely replace the safety cap.
3. Attach Desired Accessory: Select the appropriate cleaning attachment for your task. Connect it firmly to the steam gun or extension wands. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent steam leakage.
4. Power On: Plug the steam cleaner into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn on the power switch. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
5. Wait for Heating: Allow approximately 8-10 minutes for the unit to heat up and build sufficient steam pressure. The indicator light will change or turn off when the unit is ready for use.

Operating Instructions

1. Test a Small Area: Before cleaning a large area, always test the steam on an inconspicuous spot to ensure no discoloration or damage occurs.
2. Activate Steam: Once the unit is ready, press the steam trigger on the steam gun to release steam. For continuous steam, engage the trigger lock.
3. Cleaning Technique: Move the attachment slowly and steadily over the surface to be cleaned. Allow the steam to penetrate and loosen dirt. For stubborn stains, hold the steam over the area for a few seconds.
4. Wipe Clean: After steaming, wipe the treated surface with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and moisture. For floors, use the provided reusable floor towels with the floor head.
5. Refilling: If the steam output decreases or stops, the water tank may be empty. Turn off and unplug the unit, allow it to cool down completely (the safety cap will not open if the unit is hot), then refill the tank as per the setup instructions.
6. After Use: Turn off the power switch and unplug the unit. Allow it to cool down completely before emptying any remaining water and storing.

Attachments and Usage

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam cleaner.

• Cleaning: Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning. Allow the machine to cool down completely. Clean the machine and its accessories with a slightly damp cloth only.
• Descaling: To ensure that your machine operates correctly over a long period, rinse out the water tank once a month to remove lime-scale deposits. A vinegar solution or a descaling solution can be used to clean inside the water tank.
• Storage: Store the steam cleaner in a cool, dry place. Ensure all attachments are clean and dry before storing. The smaller attachments can be conveniently stored in the front compartment of the main unit.
• O-Ring Replacement: If you use the steamer frequently, the O-rings on the attachments may wear out. Replace them with the provided spare O-rings to maintain a tight seal and prevent steam leakage.
