5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button on the main unit. The indicator light will illuminate, and the unit will begin heating.
2. Heat-up Time: The steam cleaner will be ready for use in approximately 50 seconds. The display will show the temperature.
3. Select Steam Mode: Use the controls on the handheld nozzle or main unit to select between 'Dry' and 'Wet' steam modes. 'Dry' mode provides less moisture, while 'Wet' mode provides more steam for tougher jobs.

6. Refilling During Operation: If the water level is low, you can safely refill the tank at any time without waiting for the unit to cool down.
7. Post-Cleaning: For surfaces that may retain excess moisture (e.g., floors, car interiors), wipe with a clean, dry cloth after steaming. For initial steam bursts, direct the nozzle into a bucket to clear condensation before applying to the cleaning surface.
