6. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Press the power button on the main unit or the handle. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Wait for Heating: The unit will begin heating. This typically takes about 15 seconds. Wait until steam is consistently produced.
3. Adjust Steam Level: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the main unit or the handle to select one of the 6 adjustable steam levels. Start with a lower setting for delicate surfaces and increase as needed.
4. Apply Steam: Direct the steam nozzle towards the surface to be cleaned. Hold the nozzle a few inches away from the surface for general cleaning, or closer for stubborn stains.
