CARE & MAINTENANCE
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  cont.
CAUTION: This appliance must be 
unplugged from the electrical outlet 
and allowed to cool down before 
performing any cleaning or 
maintenance tasks on the unit.
Cleaning the Nozzles:
Your steamer should not normally require 
cleaning, however, should you notice a 
marked decrease in steam output it may 
be necessary to remove mineral deposit 
build-up from the nozzle orifice.  First 
ensure that there is water in the tank. If 
tank is empty, fill with water, (we 
recommend using purified or 
demineralized water), then re-start unit 
noting whether steam output is normal.  If 
steam output is still low, follow these 
cleaning instructions:
1.
Unplug steam cleaner from wall 
outlet.
2.
Depress trigger to release any 
residual pressure in the boiler.
3.
Use a small diameter stiff metal 
wire such as a straightened metal 
paperclip and carefully insert the 
end of the wire into the nozzle 
orifice. See illustrations below.
4.
Move wire back and forth several 
times to remove any deposits.
5.
Reconnect appliance to power 
outlet, switch on and note steam 
output.
6.
If steam performance does not 
improve, repeat steps #1 through #4.
1.  To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) 
2.  If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage cord should be used.  
Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.  Care should be taken to arrange cord so 
that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
3.  Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical outlet.
Let the appliance cool down 
completely before cleaning or storing.
Depress the trigger before opening 
the safety cap in order to release any 
residual pressure in the boiler.
Empty all water from the water tank 
after each use.
Store in a dry, cool place.
A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner 
will free it from deposits. This is 
recommended every 10-15 tankfulls
to free up any scale deposits. Fill the 
boiler with water and shake 
vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside 
down to empty the boiler of water and 
any scale deposits.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
