2. Important Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the steam cleaner. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Do not add detergent or any cleaning chemicals to the water tank. The device is designed for water-only steam cleaning. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area with a suitable detergent and then use the steam cleaner.
- Do not overfill the water tank. The maximum capacity is 350ML; leave sufficient space to ensure proper operation and prevent overflow.
- Always ensure the power cord is securely connected during operation.
- Exercise extreme caution with hot steam. Do not directly touch the high-temperature steam or direct it towards people, pets, or electrical appliances.
- The steam cleaner features a safety lock technology on the handle and a safety cap to protect against high-temperature steam. Do not attempt to open the water tank cap while the unit is under high pressure or hot.
- After use, unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool down for approximately 2-3 minutes before attempting to remove the cap and empty any remaining water. The pressure valve can be opened counterclockwise once cooled.
- If steam pressure becomes low during operation, wait approximately 10 seconds for the unit to reheat. The power light will turn off when it is ready again.

5. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Plug the steam cleaner into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating. There is no separate power button; plugging it in activates the heating process.

- Steam Release: Point the nozzle away from yourself and others. Press the steam trigger on the handle to release steam. The unit will continuously emit pressurized steam at approximately 230℉ (115℃) for 8-12 minutes on a full tank.
- Cleaning Surfaces: Move the steam cleaner slowly over the surface you wish to clean. For optimal results, use the appropriate accessory. For example, use the grout tool for tile grout or the glass cleaning accessory for windows.
- Reheating During Use: If the steam pressure decreases during prolonged use, release the trigger and wait for approximately 10 seconds for the unit to reheat. The indicator light will turn off again when ready.
- Refilling (if necessary): If the water tank runs empty, unplug the unit and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully unscrewing the safety cap and refilling.
- After Cleaning: Once cleaning is complete, release the steam trigger and unplug the unit from the power outlet.
