section and remove the steamed section with a scraper blade.
STEAM CLEANING TIPS - READ BEFORE STARTING
When using steam on delicate materials always check the suitability of materials before steam
cleaning. Steam is being generated at temperatures in excess of 212ºF (100ºC). DO NOT use
on any surfaces that cannot withstand this temperature. Always test in an area that is out of
view. DO NOT soak materials being cleaned. Too much steam can leave water marks or other
damage. Only a light application of steam is required.
Spot Treating:
• The Handheld Power Steamer may be used for treating light carpet and upholstery stains.
Note: Some upholstery and fabrics contain stain resistant treatments which may be
affected by steam cleaning. Check your upholstery manufacture for information.
•Trycleaningasmall,unseenareaofcarpet,toverifyanyunusualeffectsonfabric.Ifsodonot

PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Handheld Power Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have
nishedyoursteamingtasks,followthestepslistedbelow.
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to completely cool.
3. Remove all accessories from unit.
4. Remove Fill Cap and drain any remaining water from Water Tank into a sink or tub.
5. Store all attachments safely away, preferably near Handheld Power Steamer.
6. Store Handheld Power Steamer in a cool, dry location.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high mineral content
in many municipal water supplies. The best way to avoid this issue is to use distilled water in
unit. If you are unable to use distilled water, we recommend you use this procedure monthly to
help avoid mineral build-up. Or if you notice a change in your steam output, we recommend this
procedure to reduce the mineral buildup.
To remove mineral build-up:
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to completely cool.
3. Remove all accessories from unit.
4. Insert tip of paper clip into opening of the Brass Outlet Tip to
remove mineral buildup in Brass Outlet Tip. This may also be
done to clean accessories such as the Nozzles.
5. Remove Fill Cap and drain any remaining water from Water
Tank into sink or tub.
6.SetSteamLevelSwitchtomaximumsetting(towards+).
7. Using a measuring cup, measure 8 oz. (236 ml) of distilled vinegar.
8. Slowly pour vinegar into Water Tank and replace Fill Cap.
9. Plug power cord into an electrical outlet and allow unit to heat up.
10. Hold down Steam Trigger to spray vinegar into a sink or tub. Continue to hold down Steam
Trigger until Water Tank is completely drained (approximately 8 minutes).
11. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
12. Fill Water Tank with fresh water and replace Fill Cap.
13. Plug power cord into an electrical outlet and allow unit to heat up.
14. Hold down Steam Trigger to spray water into a sink or tub. Continue to hold down Steam
Trigger until Water Tank is completely drained (approximately 8 minutes).
15.Thiswillushoutanyremainingvinegarsolutioninunit.Repeatsteps11-14untilvinegar
odor dissipates.
NOTE: If water drips from the Pressure Relief Valve or if you notice a reduction in your steam
pressure, verify the Brass Outlet Tip is clear of any mineral buildup. Remove Brass Outlet Tip by
turning counter clockwise. Clear any debris as mentioned in step 4 above. Replace Brass Outlet Tip
byturningclockwiseuntilnger-tightplus1/8thturn.Overtighteningwillcausedamagetothethreads.
IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral buildup removal procedure
once per month (if unit is used once every week). More frequent use may require following the
procedure more often in order to keep your steamer operating at full potential. Do not exceed 20 hours
of use without cleaning out mineral buildup.
