4. Operating Instructions

Once the unit is heated and ready, you can begin cleaning:

1. Activate Steam: To release steam, first slide the safety lock button forward (away from the handle), then press and hold the steam trigger. Release the trigger to stop the steam flow.
2. Initial Steam Release: When first starting, a small amount of hot water may be discharged before continuous steam appears. This is normal. Direct this initial discharge into a cloth or sink.
3. Cleaning Surfaces: Hold the nozzle or brush attachment close to the surface you wish to clean. Move the unit slowly over the area to allow the steam to penetrate and loosen dirt.
4. Wipe Clean: After steaming, immediately wipe the treated surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove loosened dirt and moisture.
5. Using Attachments:
   • Nozzle: For concentrated steam on small areas, grout, or tight spaces.
   • Nylon Brush: Suitable for general scrubbing on various surfaces like tiles, sinks, and stovetops.
   • Stainless Steel Brush: For stubborn dirt and grime on durable, heat-resistant surfaces (e.g., oven racks, BBQ grills). Test on an inconspicuous area first.
   • Window Brush: Attach the cloth cover for cleaning windows, mirrors, and other smooth surfaces.
   • Cloth Cover: Use with the window brush or other attachments for delicate surfaces or to absorb excess moisture.
   • Extension Nozzle: Extends reach for high or low areas, or for cleaning inside narrow spaces.
6. Refilling: If the steam output decreases or stops, the water tank may be empty. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before refilling.
