Steam Activation
Press and hold the steam trigger on the handle to release steam. For continuous steam flow during longer cleaning sessions, engage the locking mechanism on the handle.
Cleaning Various Surfaces
- Floors: Use the floor tool with a microfiber pad. Move the tool slowly and steadily over the surface to allow the superheated steam to penetrate and lift dirt. Suitable for sealed hardwood, ceramic, marble, sealed concrete, linoleum, carpets, and rugs.
- Grout Lines: Attach a nylon or brass brush to the steam lance. Apply steam directly to the grout, scrubbing gently as needed to remove grime and discoloration.
- Kitchen Surfaces: Utilize the steam lance with a microfiber bonnet or brush for countertops, stovetops, and oven interiors. Steam effectively degreases and loosens baked-on grime.
- Bathrooms: Ideal for sanitizing sinks, showers, and toilets. Use the steam lance with appropriate brushes for fixtures or the window tool for glass shower doors and mirrors.
- Upholstery & Fabrics: Use the triangle tool with a microfiber bonnet to refresh and deodorize upholstery, mattresses, and car interiors. Hold the tool slightly above the fabric to avoid over-wetting.
- Windows & Mirrors: Attach the window tool to the steam lance. Apply steam to the glass, then use the squeegee to wipe for streak-free results.

Maintenance and Storage
After Each Use
- Cool Down: Always allow the unit to cool completely before handling, emptying, or storing.
- Empty Water Tank: Carefully unscrew the water tank cap and empty any remaining distilled water.
- Clean Accessories: Wash microfiber pads and bonnets. Clean brushes and other tools as needed to remove dirt and debris.
Descaling
Regular use of distilled water is crucial to minimize mineral buildup within the unit. If you observe reduced steam output or unusual noises, descaling may be necessary. Refer to the full product manual for detailed descaling instructions and recommended descaling solutions.
Storage
Store the steam cleaner and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The power cord can be wound around the base of the unit for compact and tidy storage.
Troubleshooting
- No Steam Output:
- Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and the power button is pressed (green indicator light).
- Check that the water tank contains sufficient distilled water.
- Allow adequate time for the unit to heat up completely (indicator light should be green).
- Difficulty Refilling Water Tank:
- If the unit is hot, wait for it to cool down completely before attempting to open the cap to prevent steam burns.
- If water does not flow into the tank smoothly, an air bubble may be trapped. Gently shake or tilt the unit to dislodge the air bubble and allow water to flow.
- Reduced Steam Pressure:
- This often indicates low water levels. Refill the tank with distilled water.
- Persistent low pressure may suggest mineral buildup. Refer to the descaling instructions in the full manual.
- Gunk/Dirt Not Removing Easily:
- For very dirty or greasy surfaces, allow the steam to penetrate for a longer duration before scrubbing.
- Use the appropriate brush (e.g., brass brush for tough grime) and apply gentle scrubbing pressure.
