WARNING: Risk to Children and Impaired Persons
Supervision is required during the installation, operation, cleaning and maintenance of this product
by children under age 12 and anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance, its parts and
packagingmaterial.
Directions to reduce risk of re, electrical shock, and injury:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. If an extension cord is necessary, use a properly rated cord (15 ampere, 14 gauge). Use care to
position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged or tripped over during use.
3. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on rating
label agrees with your power supply.
4. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance on the
same circuit as this unit.
5. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse unit in water or other liquids. Do not use
power cord as handle, let it hang over edges of counters, or be crimped or closed in doors.
6. Never yank power cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. To
avoid risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble unit; contact Poulan Pro Consumer Service for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electrical shock when unit is used.
8. A loose t between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the
plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualied electrician to replace loose or
worn outlets.
9. Do not leave unit unattended while plugged in.
10. Do not use unit where aerosol-based products are being used, or where oxygen is
beingadministered.
11. Unit is only meant to be used with recommended model PP230 accessories. Using other types of
attachments may cause damage to unit or injury.
12. If Lighted On/Off Switch does not illuminate when set to “ON” position while power cord is
plugged in, unit is not operating normally. Immediately disconnect cord from power supply, then
refer to troubleshooting guide of this manual for assistance.
13. Always turn unit off and unplug power cord before lling Reservoir with water. Do not attempt to
use unit without properly lling Reservoir.
14. When lling Reservoir, only water should be used in unit – other cleaning agents could damage
unit or cause injury. Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended, in order to minimize
potential build-up of mineral deposits. Do not ll Reservoir with more than 6 oz. (177 ml.) ofwater.
15. To avoid burns from escaping steam when removing Reservoir cap to rell unit:
• Always allow unit to cool before relling.
• Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam pressure.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH |3
16. To reduce risk of contact with hot water emitting from Main Nozzle, check appliance before
each use by positioning it away from body and turning it on. Do not operate unit if Main Nozzle
isblocked.
17. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Do not touch Main Nozzle or
attempt to connect accessories while unit is in use. Do not touch bottom of Mop Head or attempt
to attach a Microber Pad by hand while unit is in use. Use caution when you turn unit upside-down
– there may be hot water in Reservoir.
18. Use caution when using unit on uneven surfaces, such as stairs.
19. When steaming any surface for the rst time, it is recommended that you consult the manufacturer’s
guidelines for material being steamed. For items in question, test on an inconspicuous area
beforeproceeding.
20. Steaming unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces is not recommended, and may result in
warping or damage to the surface. Steam may remove the sheen from surfaces treated withwax.
21. When steam mopping, never leave unit resting in one spot on any surface for any period of time –
prolonged exposure to heat and moisture may damage oor surfaces.
22. Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces during use. Bundle cord loosely when storing.
23. Always allow Canister Steam Cleaner to cool (at least 30 minutes for complete cooling) and empty
Reservoir before storing. Do not store unit with a damp Microber Pad still attached.
24. This product for use on 120 volt electrical outlets. The cord has a plug as shown at A in Figure
65.1. An adapter, as shown at C, can be used to connect three-blade grounding-type plugs to

Using Your
Handheld Steam Cleaner
FILLING THE RESERVOIR
1. Place Handheld Steam Cleaner on a at, level surface.
2. Make sure On/Off Switch is turned to “Off” and grounded power cord is unplugged from electri-
cal outlet.
If unit has been in use, always use the following safety precautions before
removing the Reservoir Cap to add water:
•Allow unit to cool for 30 minutes.
•Press and hold Steam Trigger to release ALL remaining steam.
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may result in burns from escaping steam
when the Reservoir Cap is removed.
3. Cautiously unscrew and remove Reservoir Cap.
4. Drain any water remaining inside Reservoir.
NOTE: Reservoir should be emptied after each use – this will help minimize mineral
build-up and prevent over-lling.
5. Fill the Fill Cup to maximum ll line (6 oz. / 177 ml.) with water.
NOTE: In order to signicantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your
Handheld Steam Cleaner, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly
recommended. Refer to Page 10 for more information about mineral build-up.
6. Carefully pour water from Fill Cup into Reservoir.
WARNING: Caution should always be used when pouring water into the Reservoir. Do
not look directly down into ll hole when lling. Keep your free hand and any children
or pets at a safe distance.
7. Replace Reservoir Cap, ensuring that it is screwed on tightly to prevent hot steam from es-
caping and causing injury.

ENGLISH |9
GENERAL OPERATION
NOTE: Be sure that Reservoir has been lled and that all desired accessories are connect-
ed before following these steps.
1. For rst time use, remove protective plastic cover from electrical plug. Plug power cord into a
electrical outlet.
2. Press On/Off Switch to “On” position. Steam Indicator Light will illuminate Red. Once unit is
ready to steam, Steam Indicator Light will turn Green. During use, the light may turn Red, indi-
cating the steamer is recovering the necessary pressure. Unit can be used at a lower pressure.
3. Direct Nozzle (and any connected accessory) towards surface you desire to steam, and press
Steam Trigger.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Nozzle and any accessory are pointed in a safe direction
(away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before pressing Steam Trigger.
4. Keep Steam Trigger pressed for a continuous ow of steam. You may also hold the Steam Trig-
ger, then push the Steam Trigger Lock to lock it down. This will allow a continuous ow of steam
without need of holding the Steam Trigger down manually.
5. Using a back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further enhance the clean-
ing process. Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime. Wip-
ing the area while it is still wet is recommended, but use caution when wiping surfaces such as metal
that may still be hot.
6. Once steaming tasks are complete, turn the unit “Off” and unplug. Follow steps under Proper
Storage procedure of this manual.

Storage & Care

Preparing your Handheld Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you have n-
ished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.

2. Press and hold Steam Trigger to release all remaining steam.
3. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Carefully remove Reservoir Cap.

7. Store accessories. Accessories can be conveniently stored in the Storage Bag.
8. Store Handheld 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 effective-
ness and reduce the life of your Handheld Steam Cleaner.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using
your Handheld Steam Cleaner. If you are unable to use distilled water, it is recommended that
the following procedure be followed monthly to remove any mineral build-up:
1. Turn unit “Off” and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Press and hold Steam Trigger to release all remaining steam.
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Carefully remove Reservoir Cap.
6. Drain water from Reservoir into a sink or tub.
