HOW TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER

1. Remove the water tank cap (4) and fill the water tank (4) up to the maximum of 3L (10 to 11 cups) of water. Secure the cap until snug.
2. Connect the electrical cord to the main power outlet.
3. Plug the flexible steam hose to the steamer (7), and slide on appropriate accessories to the other end of the steam hose.
4. Turn the main power switch (1) from the “O” position to the “|” position. The switch light will come on. The steam generator will be supplied water from the water tank via an electronically controlled pump and the heating of the water begins. It is normal to hear a buzzing noise from the pump when it is in operation.

When the unit has reached proper pressure, the steam ready light (A) will come on, indicating that it is now ready for use. The steam ready light (A) will go on and off during use, indicating the change of pressure in the boiler unit.
Note: When calling for steam at the beginning of each use, you may notice a rapid decrease in the pressure to the unit. This is normal as the air in the unit is being voided, and should only last for a short period of time at the beginning of each use.
Note: The steam volume being used may be regulated from a dial on the hose handle – See the following Features section on HOW TO CHANGE STEAM VOLUME.

HANDLE CONTROL

5. When the water level is low in the water tank, a red low water light (B) will light up. Remove the tank cap (4) and refill the water tank at this time.
6. When finished use, turn the main power switch (1) back to position O, and unplug from wall. Please allow the unit to cool down prior to storage. If not using the unit for an extended period of time (more than 3 months), it is advised to drain the steam generator tank.

To drain the steam generator tank:
Drain the tank only when the unit is cold. Make sure unit is unplugged from wall and the hose is not connected to the unit. Carefully turn unit upside down so that the bottom is facing upwards. Unscrew the drainage cap at the bottom of the machine, then open the boiler drain-age plug using the 20mm hexagonal drain nut opener (provided with the accessory kit (19)). Once the tank is open, carefully turn the machine around and empty steam generator tank. Once emptied, replace the drain nut and cap.
Note: Do not store unit where the temperatures may fall below freezing. Water freezing inside the unit may cause damage to components.

HOW TO CHANGE STEAM VOLUME

1. The steam volume can be controlled by the steam regulator knob located on the steam hose handle.

Positions 1 to 3 are for steam only. Each successive number provides a higher volume than the last. (1. Low. 2. Medium. 3. High.)

Position 4 activates the hot water injection function. This feature mixes steam and hot water to produce a strong cleaning jet. **Please note in this position, the steam pressure and water level will go down much more quickly than if steam only is being used.

THIS MODEL IS PROVIDED WITH THE FOLLOWING FEATURES

STEAM READY LIGHT (A)

A green light signals that the steam has reached the maximum working pressure and the unit is ready to be used.

LOW WATER CONTROL LIGHT (B)

A red low water warning light signals that the water tank needs to be refilled. If you wish to continue steam cleaning, unscrew the water tank cap (4) and refill the tank.

STEAM REGULATIONS LIGHTS AND HANDLE CONTROL

The two yellow lights signal the three possible regulations of steam quantity/strength. The first steam regulation on-light (C) corresponds to the minimum steam quantity, position 1 on the handle (G). The second regulation on- light (D) corresponds to a medium steam quantity, position 2 on the handle (H). Both the first and second regulation on-lights (C + D) correspond to the maximum steam quantity, position 3 on the handle (I).

HOT WATER INJECTION LIGHT AND HANDLE CONTROL

This yellow light signals the activation of the hot water Injection feature. When this light (E) is on (position 4 on the handle (J), the steam is blended with hot water, making it ideal for rinsing applications.

USING THE ACCESSORIES

CONNECTING THE ACCESSORIES

Lift the hinged cover (7) on the lower front of the steam generator and fit the hose plug con-nector (16) by depressing the red button and pushing firmly in until a ‘click’ is heard indicating that the hose plug is inserted all the way. The hose MUST be properly connected, otherwise the solenoid valve will not function and steam will not be delivered through the hose or attachments. To deliver steam, activate the button situated on the underside of the handle.

LARGE RECTANGULAR FLOOR BRUSH

For cleaning hard floors, attach the extension tubes (15) to the angle adapter to use the large rectangular brush (8). Attach a dry cloth to the brush for the most effective cleaning of hard floors or carpet surface cleaning.

TRIANGULAR/UPHOLSTERY BRUSH

The triangular brush (9) is used where it is impossible or awkward to use the large brush.

UPHOLSTERY, DRAPERY, BEDDING, ETC.

Cover the brush with a clean dry cloth fixing it through the spring. Use a rapid back and forth motion, making sure that you do not over saturate the material with steam.
IMPORTANT: Prior to cleaning, do a patch test in an area that is not easily seen before you begin. Steam and moisture may cause damage to some surfaces.

HIGH PRESSURE NOZZLE WITH SMALL ROUND BRUSH (NYLON, BRASS, STAINLESS

STEEL)

The high-pressure nozzle can be used with or without one of the small round brushes sup-plied with the steam cleaner. For items that are particularly prone to scratches, it is best to use the nozzle without a brush. For all other areas, start with the nylon brush (least abrasive) and carefully work your way up to the brass, then the stainless steel brush (optional). It is always better to use care when using the brushes to prevent damage or scratching.
The use of the steam nozzle alone is particularly good for cleaning and degreasing many working surfaces, ventilation hoods, see through oven doors, ventilation grating, kitchen furniture, stainless steel or enamel sinks, hand- basins, bath-tubs, water taps (to remove scale and water residue), doors, metal frames, car wheel rims, pet areas etc.

The nylon brush, because of its softness, is ideal for removing the dirt in grout, sinks and other surfaces where you need some light scrubbing action, but care must be taken not to scratch the surface.
Tougher cleaning jobs may require the use of the brass brush that is supplied. Please make sure you are careful that it does not scratch the surface with this tool. Brass is tougher than nylon, but softer than stainless steel. For surfaces (grout for example) where the dirt is not being properly lifted with the nylon brush, carefully using the brass brush may give the best results.

For the toughest cleaning assignments (very caked on grease, rust, barbecue grills, very dirty grout), we recommend that you purchase the optional stainless steel brush that is available through your dealer, or at www.reliablecorporation.com

When using the steam nozzle with or without the brushes, you will need a cloth to wipe up the moisture and dirt that has been lifted through cleaning.

ATTACHMENT COUPLINGS

If the attachment connections dry up after intensive use, put a small amount of lubricant (Vaseline) around the O-rings on the male attachment.

FILLING THE TANK

If on the main panel (2), the water level control light (B) comes on during use and you would like to continue using the steam cleaner, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the black water tank cap (4)
2. Fill the tank with water (see water instructions for details).
3. Place the tank cap (4) back on.

If you’re using the trolley with the external water bottle connected to the water tank cap, follow the same steps listed above but directed to the water bottle.

MAINTENANCE OF THE BOILER

To maintain your steam cleaner in good condition and to ensure consistent performance, we recommend that you clean the boiler once or twice a year depending on the hardness of the water.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION: Before draining the boiler, please make sure that the machine is depressurized and cool. Ensure that it is also disconnected from the power source.

1. Take off the drainage cap at the bottom of the machine using a coin.
2. Completely unscrew the boiler brass drainage nut from the boiler, using a 20 mm hexagonal key (19).
3. To clean the boiler, we recommend using a descaling powder that can be purchased from www.reliablecorporation.com
4. Add the descaling powder with a mixture of warm water through the bottom of the boiler.
5. Let the mixture of warm water and powder sit for 24 hours.
6. Rinse thoroughly to ensure that all of the descaling powder has been removed
7. After cleaning, twist close the drainage nut and replace the cap.

NOTE: if you see that the water that is coming out from the boiler is full of dirt/limestone, we suggest that you repeat this operation more frequently, perhaps three to four times per year.
