ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS cont.  
Upholstery  
Exterior Areas  
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket  
(circuit)  
Use the triangular towel adapter with the  
triangle towel attached directly to the  
concentrator nozzle. Use fast, light  
strokes, avoid getting the fabric wet. Be  
patient with stubborn spots; work on a  
spot gently for no more than a minute at a  
time, then wait five minutes for the area  
to dry and repeat. Use circular  
movements or back and forth and side-to-  
side movements to get all sides of  
surface fibers. Finish with a brushing in  
one direction that will give the fabric a  
uniform appearance.  
For detailing the wheels, use the  
concentrator nozzle and the nylon detail  
brush.  
Exterior windows are cleaned best by  
applying the vapor with the concentrator  
nozzle and following with the squeegee or  
a paper towel.  
To clean bicycles, use the nylon detail  
brush.  
To clean tools or equipment , use the  
nylon detail brush, depending on the  
surface area.  
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage grounded  
cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should  
be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled, tripped over or pinched.  
3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power  
supply/electrical outlet.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY  
To clean BBQ’s, use the nylon detail  
brush to clean the BBQ rack.  
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire  
cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an  
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety  
feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an  
electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat  
the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the  
3-prong plug.  
CAUTION: Always determine the  
color-fastness of any fabric-  
Garden Furniture  
Use the nylon detail brushes on the  
surface area. Work quickly when cleaning  
resin outdoor furniture.  
especially with reds or blues - by taking  
a clean, moist, warm towel and gently  
rubbing a small area as far down on the  
back or other out of the way place on  
the furniture as possible. If color comes  
off on the towel, you may need to have  
the piece dry cleaned.  
CAUTION: The force and heat of the steam may adversely affect certain  
materials. Always check the suitability of using the steam  
cleaner on a surface by carrying out a preliminary test on a  
hidden area.  
Clothing  
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for  
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply  
“vaporize” the surface from a distance  
(12”-16”) The dry vapor removes wrinkles  
without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary  
fabric steamers do.  
Examples for guidance only:- Varnished wood or glossy leather can  
be bleached by the effects of steam.  
- Shiny plastic materials risk being tarnished.  
- Acrylic, velvets and linen are very sensitive to the  
temperature of steam.  
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused to objects,  
materials, animals or persons due to the inappropriate use of steam, and through  
ignoring the advice and recommendations set down in the Owner's Manual.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAM BOTTLE  
USAGE SUGGESTIONS FOR STEAM BOTTLE  
Soap Scum  
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors  
Use the squeegee. Work with the vapor jet  
using top to bottom movements. Use the  
squeegee to clear the water from the glass.  
To do this without leaving streaks, use  
lateral movements from the top to the  
bottom of the surface. Do not use on cold  
glass.  
CAUTION: When cleaning  
windows, always avoid any  
sudden changes in temperature to  
prevent glass breakage or cracks.  
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately  
under a combination of heat and  
moisture. Rinse the surface with a small  
amount of water afterwards or go back  
over it once more with a cloth towel.  
Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop  
a hard surface from waterborne minerals.  
If this is the case, use the nylon detail  
brush to break up this surface - or spray  
or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer  
soda water to soften the minerals.  
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces  
Use the nylon detail brush. Slowly move  
the brush over the surface to be cleaned.  
The vapor will emulsify the dirt and  
grease on the surface. Follow behind  
with the cloth towel over the brush to  
remove excess moisture and residue.  
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap  
scum and cause it to granulate on the  
surface. The surface will have a gritty  
feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the  
surface with the nylon bristle brush again  
and re-clean.  
Blinds  
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless  
steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda  
water after it is cleaned.  
Use the nylon detail brush to clean blinds.  
Move the brush over the surface, allowing  
enough time for the vapor to penetrate.  
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for  
color fastness on fabric blinds before  
using.  
Bathroom Areas  
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use  
the nylon detail brush for grout, shower  
door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily  
soiled areas. The squeegee will be the  
most efficient way to clean the rest of the  
area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to  
penetrate the surface. This is especially  
helpful in the shower area if there is tile or  
grout.

Use the concentrator nozzle alone to blow  
away dirt in the ice machine and on door  
seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack  
the seals as chemicals often do. Can  
openers and other kitchen equipment can  
be easily cleaned with the nylon detail  
brush on the concentrator nozzle to get  
into all the nooks and crannies.  
To clean sanitary fixtures, use  
17. Filler Flask  
concentrator nozzle with or without nylon  
bristle brush. Use a towel to wipe up  
excess moisture and residue.  
To clean microwaves or other small  
appliances use the nylon detail brush for  
small areas. Do not inject steam into the  
vent openings of the product.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
FEATURES OF STEAM BOTTLE  
Using the Micro Fiber Cloth  
Hints  
Your Steam Bottle is a very versatile tool. Used correctly it will help make  
many household cleaning tasks faster and easier. Be sure to carefully read all  
the information contained in this booklet before using this appliance.  
The Steam Bottle has many uses  
many of which will not be mentioned  
in this owner's manual. This is meant  
only to give you a general idea of  
what can be achieved with the unit.  
However, the ways in which to use the  
units and the brushes are in most  
cases universal. It is most helpful to  
always have the micro fiber cloth or a  
terry cloth towel or paper towel ready  
to use for removal of moisture and  
residue. 100% white cotton towels  
work best.  
Micro fiber cloths allow deep-down streak-  
free cleaning with only water! The cloth's  
static charge attracts more dust and retains  
it. The result is a gleaming smear free finish.  
The micro fiber cloth can be used dry as a  
duster or dampened with water for all dirty  
surfaces. Use after steaming your chrome  
fixtures for a gleaming streak free shine.  
The micro fiber cloth can be used on all  
surfaces such as: bathroom tiles, kitchen  
counters, mirrors, glass, stainless steel,  
plastics, etc.  
High temperature steam can make it easier to remove stubborn household dirt  
from hard surfaces such as ovens, stove tops, kitchen counters, sinks, tubs,  
bathroom tiles, windows and mirrors without the need for harsh chemical  
cleaners. The appliance has various attachments which enable it to be used for  
cleaning different types of surfaces such as:  
1. Upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.  
2. Easily cleans difficult to reach areas with the concentrator such as  
faucets, etc.  
You can clean the brushes with your  
steam cleaner. When cleaning the  
brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold  
the brushes or place in the basket of  
your dishwasher.  
3. Ideal for windows, mirrors, glass doors, etc.  
4. Fabrics, window coverings, pillows, bedding etc.  
5. Hard surface areas such as counters, sinks, shower door tracks, etc.  
Care & Cleaning of Micro Fiber Cloth  
Before use: Wash in hot water with  
detergent and rinse well and let dry. Do not  
use fabric softeners or bleach. Do not put in  
dryer or iron. Do not use with cleaning  
products such as glass cleaners, etc. If this  
happens, wash the cloth and rinse well.  
CAUTION: Press steam trigger intermittently no more than once every 1  
or 2 seconds. Rapid pressing in succession will cause water leaking and  
spitting which could then burn the user’s hand. Wait for steam pressure  
to reduce before pressing steam trigger again. By pressing intermittently  
you will note a rhythm for maintaining a continuous flow of steam without  
any water dripping or leaking.  
Note: Wipe immediately before the  
cleaned area dries.

Tips On How To Use Your Steam  
Cleaner  
Water  
CAUTION: This appliance  
must be unplugged from the  
electrical outlet before performing any  
cleaning or maintenance tasks on the  
unit.  
Use tap water for all your cleaning  
needs.  
If you live in an area with hard water,  
use demineralized/distilled water  
when steaming light colored fabrics  
to eliminate the possibility of hard  
water stains.  
NOTE:First usage may require 6-10 rapid pushes on steam push button  
before steam exits. Keep pressing for a few seconds until steam has  
developed from first rapid depressing of steam trigger, then you can  
continue intermittent pressing of steam trigger as detailed above.  
Let the appliance cool down  
completely before cleaning or storing.  
Empty all water from the water tank  
after each use.  
Store in a dry, cool place with the  
filling hole open.  
A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner  
will free it from deposits. This is  
recommended every 10 tankfulls  
to free up any scale deposits. Fill the  
water tank with water and shake  
vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside  
down to empty the water tank and  
any scale deposits.  
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or  
any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use  
regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in  
your area is very hard.  
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning  
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any  
other chemicals to the water used in this  
appliance. Use tap water or  
distilled/purified water if the tap water  
in your area is very hard.  
Efficient Work  
For vertical surfaces, wipe always  
from the top down, in this way the  
dirty water will not soil surfaces  
already cleaned.  
Avoid changing brushes back and  
forth while cleaning. Start with the  
smallest brush to clean tight spots  
and corners first.  
Wipe dirt as soon as possible,  
otherwise it will dry and re-adhere  
to the surface.
