OPERATION

Before First use

Note that there may be residual water traces in the tank: this is due to quality control testing and does not indicate a defect with the product.

Filling Water Tank
Note:
Do not remove or cut a small rubber air valve on top of the Water Tank Cop. Do not turn the unit upside-down when the Water Tank is full – some water may leak through the air valve.

1.  Make sure Steam Control Dial is set to “off” position.
2. Rotate Water Tank Cap one-quarter turn in “Unlock” direction (counter-clockwise) indicated by the illustration on cap and remove.
3.  Carefully fill Cup with the maximum amount of water and pour it into the water tank through the fill hole. Repeat up to two more times to fill Water Tank to maximum capacity (The tank holds a maximum of 380ml of water).
   Note:
   To significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your Multi-Purpose Steamer, the use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly recommended.
   Refer to Cleaning and Care for more information about mineral build-up.
   4. Replace Water Tank Cap so that thread grooves on the bottom of Cap (FIGURE 9-B) align with tabs inside the fill hole (FIGURE 9-C). Press Water Tank Cop down so that it sits flush with the top of the fill hole (FIGURE 9-D). Rotate one-quarter turn in a clockwise direction (as indicated by the “Lock” illustration on Cap) to lock it in place.

Note:
The tube which transfers water from the Water Tank to the boiler is weighted down with a brass boll. This is an intentional design to improve the efficiency of water usage.
It is normal for this boll to create a rattling sound inside of Water Tank during use. If the brass ball has come loose, refer to Troubleshooting for directions to reconnect it.

Steam Settings

Below is a general listing of just some of the possible uses for the Multi- Purpose Steamer, separated by the intensity setting of Steam Control Dial. These are only meant to provide some general guidelines for using your steamer; you will likely discover a wide variety of other uses around your home.

LOW

• Varnished/laminate hardwood flooring
• Delicate fabrics
• Wood cabinetry

MEDIUM

• Most flooring (sealed marble, stone & ceramic, vinyl etc.)
• Countertops
• Bath and Kitchen fixtures
• Most routine cleaning tasks

HIGH

• Flooring in high-traffic areas (HIGH setting not recommended for hardwood floors)
• Tough grime and stains (stuck-on grease, etc.)
• Heavy linens and fabrics

Note:
When steaming, it is best to use the lowest possible Steam Control Dial setting that completes the tusk while remaining easy and convenient. Start with lower settings and increase only if needed to quickly and easily accomplish the required cleaning task.
A higher steam setting increases the amount of moisture being emitted with the steam.
Steam Mopping
Note:
It is recommended to vacuum floors before mopping in order to remove dust and dirt particles.

• Use a steady back-and-forth motion over the floor, pushing Mop away and pulling it back towards you. Work your way back over the floor, to avoid walking over the freshly mopped area.
• The Cloth will absorb moisture during mopping. Flow ever, depending on the floor surface and steam intensity setting; some residual moisture may be left behind. In this case, it is recommended to allow floor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards an area to facilitate drying.

NOTE: Setting Steam Control Dial to LOW setting will help to minimize moisture left on the
floor.

NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, the Multi- Purpose Steamer should only be used on properly sealed floor surfaces.

• Due to the large size of the Mop Head, it may have difficulty completely cleaning certain types of floors (such as ceramic tile) that include crevices of grouting. To more thoroughly clean floor grout, it is recommended to use Multi-Purpose Steamer in steam cleaning mode. Refer to the Steam Cleaning section on pages 11 and 12 for details.

Steam Cleaning

• Direct Jet Nozzle towards the surface you wish to steam. Use a slight back-and-forth motion over the area to enhance the cleaning process.

• Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime. Wiping the area while it is still wet is recommended but use caution when wiping surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.

Fabric Steaming

• For fabrics and linens, direct Utility Head towards the material you wish to steam and keep the flow of steam focused three. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further enhance the steaming process.
For garments:

1.  Hong garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.
2. Direct Utility Head towards the bottom of the garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside of the material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Utility Head upward from bottom to top of the garment.
3. Direct Utility Head away from the garment and smooth material with your free hand.
4. Repeat as the necessary unit garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.

General steaming tips:

1.  Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
2. To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs, and napkins, drape them over a rod or towel rack and gently steam them.
3. Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
4. To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of the fabric.
5. Be especially careful when steaming delicate fabrics and those likely to be damaged by water spots.

General Steaming Tips

You will find nearly limitless uses for your Multi-Purpose Steamer. There are no rules when it comes to steam cleaning and/or the attachments you received with your unit. Use whichever attachment seems to accomplish the intended job quickly and easily.

Below are a few guidelines for starting:

• Many surfaces only require be spraying with the Jet Nozzle to clean and disinfect, then wiping with a clean dry cloth, towel, or paper towel, e.g. kitchen counters, microwaves, stovetops, bathroom sinks, kitchen, and bath fixtures.
• The nylon Utility Brushes can be used on most surfaces for hard-to-remove dirt, grime spots, or stain, e.g. backed on food on ovens and oven doors, baked-on stovetop spills, bath and/or kitchen grease and grime, a rubber seal on the refrigerator, under/around the bath and kitchen fixtures, bath tile seams, and grouting.
• The nylon Utility Brushes are also very effective in removing spots and stains and stains from clothing and upholstery.

It is helpful on carpet and cloth surfaces to blot with a clean dry towel to help remove the spot/stain.
• The brass Utility Brush is useful for heavy-duty jobs such as your BBQ grill, oven rack, tire wheels, etc. Do not use this brush on anything that the hard brush bristles might scratch or damage.
• The Extension Pole should be attached for mopping floors but is also useful for reaching overhead or otherwise hard-to-reach places. When raising the unit to reach high places, it is best to grasp Pole with both hands for better support.

CLEANING & CARE

1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet after steaming.

2. Allow unit time to cool (at least 5 minutes).

3. Remove all accessories from the unit.
   To remove the mop head, press the side locking button (fig. 1 & 2 below):
   

4.  Remove Water Tank Cap and drain any remaining water from Water Tank into a sink or tub to minimize potential mineral build-up; replace when done.

5. Collapse Extension Pole to shortest length (if storage space is limited) and wrap the power cord around Cord Brackets. 6. Store Multi-Purpose Steamer in a cool, dry location, along with all attachments.

Removing Mineral Build-up

A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of building-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your Multi-Purpose Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de- mineralized water when using your Multi-Purpose Steamer. Also, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below be followed at least once a month to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of your Multi-Purpose Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.

1. Follow steps 1-4 above. However, do not replace Water Tank Cap at the end of 4.

2. Insert the tip of the Cleaning Pin into the opening of the Steam Nozzle to remove mineral build-up in the nozzle. Move the pin back and forth at least 10 times (fig. 3 & 4 below).
   This may also be done to clean accessories such as the Jet Nozzle.

3. Use Measuring Cup to make a mixture of approximately 100ml distilled water and 50ml vinegar.

4. Slowly pour the water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through a fill hole then replace Water Tank Cap.

5. Plug-in power cord set Steam Control Dial to HIGH and sprays full contents of Water Tank into a sink or tub.

6. Once Water Tank is drained, turn the unit off and refill the Tank with 380ml of fresh distilled water. Set Steam Control Dial back to HIGH and repeat STEP 5. If you used a water-vinegar solution, you may need to repeat this until the vinegar odor dissipates.

7. Replace Water Tank Cap, unplug the power cord, and store Multi-Purpose Steamer as usual.

IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow this procedure once per month (if the unit is used once a week). More frequent use may require following the procedure more often to keep you’re appliance operating at full potential. Do not exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning out mineral build-up.
TROUBLESHOOTING

| Possible Cause|

Steps to Resolve

---|---|---
Residue in the water tank (first use).| The residue left over from quality control testing.|

This is normal and not cause for concern.

Unit fails to heat up or the power indicator does not illuminate.| The unit is not plugged in.| Plug the electrical cord into the outlet.
Household circuit breaker/ ground fault interrupter has tripped or blown a fuse.| Reset circuit breaker/ground fault interrupter or replace the fuse. If you need assistance, contact a licensed electrician.
The unit heats up but fails to steam (NOTE: Always allow time for the unit to heat up begin producing steam.)| The water tank is empty.| Refill Water Tank.
Mineral build-up in the unit.| Refer to the Removing Mineral Build-up section.
The weighted brass ball connected to the end of the water tube inside the Water Tank has come loose.| Reattach it by snapping it back onto the black nozzle at of the tube.
The steam output is weak or intermittent.| Steam Control Dial is set to LOW.| Increasing the setting of the Steam Control Dial to MEDIUM or HIGH will result in a stronger (and wetter) flow of steam.
Mineral build-up in the unit.| Refer to the Removing Mineral section.
Unit is emitting water in the steam flow.| Steam Control Dial is set to HIGH.| In the HIGH setting, small amounts of water may be released along with the steam. Decreasing the setting of the Steam Control Dial to MEDIUM or LOW will reduce this water spotting.
Rattling sound from Water Tank.| Sound is being caused by weighted brass ball connected to end of water tube inside Tank.|

The weighted brass ball is an intentional design that helps the unit more efficiently utilize all water inside of the Tank.
