3. Fill the measuring cup with undiluted tap water to the 5oz mark and
slowly pour it into the steamers funnel. For the driest steam, fill the
measuring cup with an additional 5oz of water and pour it into the
funnel, totaling 10oz. To reach the maximum capacity, instead of
adding 5oz, fill the measuring cup to the 6oz mark and pour it into
the funnel, totaling 11oz.

4. Replace the fill cap by hand tightening. Do not over-tighten.
5. Plug it in, then flip the power switch that is located on the power
cord to the “I” position to turn it on.
6. The red LED indicator shows it is heating up the water in its tank and

BrilliantSpa Black Diamond Manual 7
TO USE THE STEAMER
· The steamer may be used as soon as it has built up sufficient
pressure to light up the green LED indicator.
· Using the tweezers, hold jewelry approximately one inch beneath the
steam nozzle. Be aware that the steam is HOT.
· While being careful not to touch the gray fill cap because it too
is HOT, release the steam by pressing down on the gray steam
activation button on the top rear of the unit, behind the fill cap.
· It is recommended to use short, one or two second bursts to prolong
maximum steam pressure.
WHEN IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO REFILL
· Turn the unit off by flipping the power switch located on the power
cord to the “0” position.
· Unplug it from the power outlet.
· Allow sufficient cooling time of approximately 30 minutes prior to
refilling the tank. As a safety feature, the gray fill cap can not be
removed until it has sufficiently cooled.
· While maintaining an arms length distance from the machine slowly
unscrew the gray fill cap in the back. As you are unscrewing the
gray fill cap the remaining pressure will release from around it. Press
down on the steam activation button in the rear of the appliance to
more quickly release the remaining steam in its tank. Remove the
gray fill cap.
· Lift the entire appliance by holding the handles on either side.
· Turn the appliance upside down over a sink to drain the steamer tank.
To fully drain the steamer tank, while holding upside down, press the
steam activation button.
· Follow the instructions 1-6 on the Quick Reference Guide above to
refill the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond.

COMPLETE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – Steps 1 through 12
(WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN OR TURN ON UNTIL YOU REACH
STEP 5).
1. Place the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond upright on a flat, dry, level
surface near the edge of a sink or counter. Alternatively, you may
place it on your counter with the steam residue mat positioned in
front of the steamer, under the steam nozzle.
2. Be certain the stainless steel mesh basket is installed into the
slot located under the steam nozzle. Insert the basket firmly,
while being sure to press hard enough to be certain it is installed
securely and completely.
3. With the steamer unplugged and sufficiently cool, slowly and
carefully unscrew the fill cap and then remove it. There is a built-in
safety feature that prevents the fill cap from being removed before
it is cool enough. If used previously, remove any remaining water
in its tank by turning it upside down over a sink. Fill the measuring
cup with undiluted tap water to the 5oz mark and slowly pour it
into the steamers funnel. For the driest steam, fill the measuring
cup with an additional 5oz of water and pour it into the funnel,
totaling 10oz. To reach the maximum capacity, instead of adding
5oz, fill the measuring cup to the 6oz mark and slowly pour it into
the funnel, totaling 11oz. Always use the supplied water fill cup
or a proper measuring cup and do not attempt to estimate the
amount of water being added or over filling may occur.
4. Replace the water fill cap by hand tightening. Do not over-tighten.
Over-tightening could result in damage to your fill cap gasket and
consequently your steamer will not pressurize properly.
5. Plug in the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond to a grounded electrical
outlet that has a power rating sufficient to operate the product.
Locate the switch on the power cord and flip it to the “I” position to
turn it on. Within approximately 3 minutes it will automatically heat
up the water in its tank creating pressurized steam. The red LED
light will indicate that the steamer is heating up the water in its tank
and building pressure.

BrilliantSpa Black Diamond Manual 9
6. When the green LED lights up that indicates that it is ready to be
used. Please note that the green LED light will cycle on and off as
the steamers thermostat automatically heats up while maintaining
constant pressure.
7. Using the stainless steel jewelry holding tweezers, firmly yet
carefully grasp the item being cleaned and hold it approximately
one inch beneath the steam nozzle located above the mesh basket
or simply place the item being cleaned in the mesh basket. Please
note that the mesh basket may be removed for an unrestricted
cleaning zone when cleaning larger items.
8. Once the steamer has built up sufficient pressure and the green
LED has lit up, press the steam activation button located on the
top rear of the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond behind the gray fill
cap. Always be mindful that the gray fill cap is VERY HOT and
be careful never to touch it when pressing the steam activation
button. The steamer works best when using short, one or two
second bursts. Allowing a brief delay between bursts gives the
steamer time to rebuild steam pressure. To clean an item on all
sides, rotate the item under the nozzle. Allow the jewelry time to
cool before wearing.
9. Inspect the item after cleaning and if it requires additional
steam cleaning repeat these steps noted in #8. For dirtier items,
additional steaming time may be required. Pre-soaking the item in
hot water will help loosen up the dirt or for faster results, it is also
recommended to first use the GemOro Sparkle Spa or Sparkle Spa
Pro personal ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (sold separately) to loosen
up the dirt and pre-clean prior to steaming.
10. When it is necessary to refill the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond,
first turn it off and then unplug it from the power outlet. Allow
sufficient cooling time of approximately 30 minutes prior to refilling
the tank with 10 oz. of water for the driest steam or 11oz for the
maximum water capacity. When removing the gray fill cap after it
has cooled, always unscrew it slowly at arms length while allowing
the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond to gradually release any remaining
pressure in the tank. Then lift the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond Black

GemOro Superior Instruments 10
Diamond by its easy-lift handles and turn it upside down over a
sink to drain any remaining water in its tank. Replace the fill cap.
11. When you are finished cleaning your jewelry, unplug the
BrilliantSpa Black Diamond from the power outlet by grasping the
end of the power cord closest to the outlet.
12. Prior to storing the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond after use, always
release any remaining pressure in its tank by holding the steam
activation button down. After allowing sufficient cooling time of
approximately 30 minutes, remove the fill cap by unscrewing it
slowly while allowing the tank to gradually release its pressure.
Then lift the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond by its built-in handles and
pour out the remaining water.
PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
1. The BrilliantSpa Black Diamond is specifically designed for
cleaning jewelry. Although there are many other cleaning
applications for the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond (such as for
cleaning dentures, eye glasses, hand tools, small parts, etc.),
caution and common sense should be used at all times as the
BrilliantSpa Black Diamond could damage the item and/or the
operator.
2. Use caution: the steam cleaner releases very hot steam under
high pressure. Never touch the steam nozzle or the area
surrounding it, as you may get burnt.
3. Be certain that the gray fill cap with its built-in safety release
valve is screwed on by hand prior to use. Do not over-tighten.
Never operate the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond steam cleaner
without the fill cap properly installed.
4. The BrilliantSpa Black Diamond steam cleaner may only be
used with undiluted tap water or distilled water. Never add any
type of chemicals or cleaning agents to the water in the tank
prior to steaming.
5. The BrilliantSpa Black Diamond is designed to operate with a
maximum of 11oz of water in its tank. To produce the driest steam,
it is suggested to use 10oz of water. Do not overfill the steam

BrilliantSpa Black Diamond Manual 11
cleaner tank. To do so will produce a potentially hazardous
sputtering of water and wet steam.
6. Never plug in and attempt to operate the BrilliantSpa Black
Diamond without water in its tank. If the BrilliantSpa Black
Diamond runs out of steam during operation, turn it off and
unplug it. Then allow approximately 30 minutes time to cool prior
to refilling the tank to its 11oz water capacity (if water is still in
the tank, while unplugged and cool, hold the BrilliantSpa Black
Diamond upside down over a sink to drain the remaining water in
its tank prior to adding 11oz of water). When removing the gray
fill cap after the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond has cooled, always
unscrew it slowly while maintaining an arms length distance from
it, allowing the steamer tank to very gradually release its pressure
until fully released.
7. Never attempt to unscrew the gray fill cap and refill the
BrilliantSpa Black Diamond steam cleaner tank while it is still
hot and under pressure. There is a built-in safety feature that
prevents the gray fill cap from being removed while the steam
cleaner is hot.
8. Lift or move the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond only by its built-in
handles.
9. Always turn off and unplug the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond when
not in use.
10. This appliance is not for space heating purposes.
11. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
12. FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE CLEANING ANY TYPE OF JEWELRY
Prior to using the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond, always confirm if
the jewelry in question may be cleaned with a steam cleaner. While
some general guidelines are noted below for what may or may not
be cleaned with a steam cleaner, the guidelines are not represented
as being complete and are not meant to be used as your final
determination as to whether or not the jewelry in question is suitable
for being cleaned by the BrilliantSpa Black Diamond. Before cleaning
any piece of jewelry or gemstone, you should consult with a
professional to correctly identify the item you desire to clean and
confirm that it is suitable to be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
GemOro disclaims, to the maximum extent permissible, (a) any
responsibility for damage to jewelry or any other item, and (b)
any responsibility for direct, special, incidental or consequential
damages under any legal theory.

For more information on jewelry care and cleaning, or assistance
with finding qualified professionals with whom you may consult
regarding the potential cleaning of your jewelry, visit the following

Always inspect the setting for loose stones prior to cleaning. Stones
that are insecurely set may fall out when cleaned by a steam cleaner.
Prior to cleaning, carefully touch the stone with a small probe (like
a toothpick); the stone should not shift or wiggle. If a stone falls
out as a result of being cleaned with a steam cleaner, please be
aware that the stone would have eventually fallen out anyway.
Most consider it better to have a stone fall out in a reasonably
controlled environment as opposed to at random while wearing it.
The following types of jewelry should only be cleaned by a
knowledgeable professional:
· Antique jewelry
· Enamel jewelry
· Paste jewelry (which is common with costume jewelry)
· Costume jewelry
· Jewelry containing stones that have been set with glue

MAINTENANCE
Your BrilliantSpa Black Diamond is designed to be a very low
maintenance appliance. With moderate usage, the tank (only when
cool) that is located inside the steamer should be cleaned annually
since water will leave calcium or lime residue in the tank that can be
flushed out. With the steamer unplugged, pour a small amount of
any household cleaner into the tank that is designed to remove hard
water deposits. Make certain that it is non-caustic, non-flammable
and non-combustible and that it may be used on stainless steel. Then
fill the tank with tap water, swish around and allow it to remain in the
tank for a while as specified in the cleaners instructions. Then pour out
the solution in the tank; flush the tank out thoroughly multiple times
with tap water and resume normal use. The exterior of the BrilliantSpa
Black Diamond may be cleaned by hand using a soft cloth and a mild
household cleaner that may be used on plastic as well as stainless
steel. Wipe dry using a soft cloth when finished.
