The Mop Head and Microfiber Pads are perfect for use on these hard floor
surfaces:
IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces.
Surfaces that are not properly sealed may be warped or damaged by exposure
to heat and moisture.
Care should also be taken when steaming sealed hardwood floors, as
prolonged exposure to steam in a single spot may cause damage and
discoloration. To avoid this, keep the Mop Head in constant motion on these
surfaces.
Steam may remove the sheen from some floors that have been treated with
wax. Extremely rough textured floors may tear or damage Microfiber Pads.

FILLING BOLIER
1. Place Steam Cleaner on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure Lighted On/Off Switch is set to “OFF” position and grounded power
cord is unplugged from electrical outlet.
3. Cautiously unscrew and remove Boiler cap, an dd rain any water remaining inside
Boiler into a sink or tub.
NOTE: Boiler should be emptied after each use-this will help minimize
mineral build-up and prevent over-filling.
4. Fill Measuring Cup to maximum fill line (17 oz./ 500ml.) with water.
NOTE: In order to significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life
of your Steam Cleaner, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is
highly recommended. Refer to Page 16 for more information about mineral
build-up.
5. Using Water Funnel, carefully pour water from Measuring Cup into Boiler through
fill hole.
CAUTION: Water Funnel should always be used to fill Boiler, to prevent
spilled water from entering unit housing and damaging electrical
components.
6. Depending on how long you intend to steam, you may repeat steps 4 & 5 up to
two more times, up to a maximum of 52 oz.(1,500 ml.)of water. See chart for a
comparison of the amount of water vs. approximate steam time.
Amount of water Duration of Steam
17 oz (500ml.) Approximately 15mins
35 oz (1000ml.) Approximately 30mins
52 oz (1500ml.) Approximately 45mins
7. Replace Boiler cap, ensuring that it is screwed on tightly to prevent hot steam
from escaping and causing injury.

REFILLING BOILER
If unit has been in use, always use the following safety precautions before
removing the Boiler cap to add water:
Allow unit to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam. Steam can
remain pressurized inside Boiler for up to an hour after use.
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may result in burns from
escaping steam when the Boiler cap is removed.
GENERAL OPERATION
NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that all desired accessories are
connected before following these steps.
1. For first time use, remove protective plastic cover from electrical plug. Plug
power cord into a convenient electrical outlet.
2. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “ON” position.
3. The water will heat 8-10 minutes (depending on how much water in Boiler),
and then ready to begin steaming.
4. Direct nozzle (and any connected accessories) towards surface you desire to
steam, and press Steam Button. To sanitize surfaces, point nozzle, press Button
and hold approximately 1/2 inch from surface for at least 5 seconds. This will
insure that you have killed germs and bacteria.
CAUTION: Always be sure that nozzle and any accessories are pointed in a
safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before
pressing Steam Button.
5. Keep Steam Button pressed for a continuous flow of steam. You may also slide
the Steam Lock Switch forward while pressing the Steam Button to lock it down.
This will allow a continuous flow of steam without need of holding the Button
down manually.
6. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further
enhance the cleaning process. Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove
loosened dirt and grime. Wiping the area while it is still wet is recommended, but
use caution when wiping surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.

7. Once steaming tasks are complete, immediately set Lighted On/Off Switch to
“OFF” position and unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet. Follow
steps under Proper Storage procedure on Page 16 of this manual.
STEAM MOPPING
NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that all steam mopping
accessories are connected before following these steps.
It is recommended to sweep or vacuum hard floors before mopping.
1. Follow STEPS 1-3 of General Operation section above.
Refer to Page 10 for a listing of hard floor surfaces that are recommended
for cleaning with the Steam Cleaner.
2. For best results, use a steady back-and-forth motion over floor surface, pushing
the Mop Head away and pulling it back towards you. Work your way backwards
over the floor, in order to avoid walking over freshly mopped areas.
NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, do not
use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Steam may
remove the sheen from some floors that have been treated with wax.
3. To effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, repeatedly mop a single small
area (approximately 3’ x 3’ for best results) for at least 2 minutes.
4. The Microfiber Pad will absorb dirt and moisture during mopping. However, when
you are finished you may find some residual moisture has been left behind. In
this case, it is recommended to allow floor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed
towards mopped area to facilitate drying.

PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you have
finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “OFF” position and unplug power cord from
electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool (at least 30 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam pressure.
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Remove Boiler cap, drain any remaining water from Boiler into a sink or tub-this
will help to minimize mineral build-up and prevent over-filling during your next
use. Loosely replace Boiler cap.
6. Store accessories safely away, near Steam Cleaner. Utility Brushes can be
conveniently stored in the Back Cord Warp.
7. Store Steam Cleaner in a cool ,dry location .
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up
caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral
build-up may limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your Steam Cleaner.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized
water when using your Steam Cleaner. If you are unable to use distilled water, it is
recommended that the following procedure be followed monthly to help remove any
mineral build-up:
