  2. Wait for Heating: The unit will begin heating. This typically takes about 15 seconds. Wait until steam is consistently produced.

  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.

    • Floors: Use the extension tube and floor attachment (if applicable) for sealed hard floors.
