IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using your steam cleaner.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse any part of the system in water or other liquids.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the system cool completely before putting away or opening water tank
(removing the safety cap). Wrap cord loosely around system when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use. Always turn the safety cap slowly when opening the water tank. This will allow any remaining steam to escape gradually.
7. Do not operate the system with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other part of the system has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the steam cleaner. Return the system to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see warranty) for examination and repair. Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury to persons when the steam cleaner is used.
8. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave the system unattended while connected to electrical outlet or when hot.
9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use caution when draining unit after use as there may be hot water in the unit. Never direct steam at any person. The steam is very hot and can cause burns.
10. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
11. This appliance is intended only for household use. Follow all user instructions in this manual.
12. Never use any chemicals or substance other than tap water in the machine. Use of chemicals may damage the machine. Use of chemicals will automatically void your warranty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit) as the steam cleaner.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum of 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.

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 drain condensed water from hose before use or if unit has been left idle for a period of time. To drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink and depress hand grip steam trigger. Once hose has been drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle towards people, animals or plants.

WARNING: Your steam cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft plastics and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood grain to rise. It is therefore recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.

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 water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

WARNING: Danger of Scalding. Please use caution when using the steam cleaner. The steam emitted from the openings is very hot.

10.Follow instructions for “Preparing Your Steam Cleaner for Use.”

Notes:

• When the steam cleaner runs out of water, steam output will cease.
• If not depressed the cap will rotate freely without advancing.
• Filling the unit with hot water will shorten the heat up time.
• If you live in an area with hard water use distilled water to avoid clogging.
• Always point the nozzle in a safe direction. At the start of steaming, some water will come out of the nozzle. This is normal.

Preparing Your Steam Cleaner for Use

1. Connect the desired attachments onto the hand grip of the flexible steam hose.
2. Plug the unit into a standard 120 Volt, grounded wall receptacle and switch the unit “On.” In 4-6 minutes the steam ready light will illuminate indicating that the steam is ready.
3. When finished using the unit, turn it “Off” and unplug it from the electrical outlet

Using the Trigger Lock
The steam cleaner has a steam trigger lock. To lock steam trigger for continuous steam, depress the steam trigger and push the steam trigger lock all the way up.
(Fig. 2) To unlock the steam trigger, just press it in the other direction.

Using Your Steam Cleaner with Steam Pocket

Step 1. Connect the steam pocket accessory to the steam handle with two extension tubes. To attach the extension tubes one onto the other or onto the hand grip, press the locking button ensuring that it fits into the hole (Fig. 3., Fig. 4) and press the two sections together. To disconnect, repeat the operation by pressing the locking button and pulling the two sections apart.

Note: Fit the steam pocket frame with the angle adapter onto the extension tube.

Step 2. If the angle adapter is not attached to the steam pocket frame, attach as follows: Hold the steam pocket frame in one hand and the angle adapter in the other. Insert the angle adapter into the opening of the steam pocket frame as shown in Fig. 5.

Note that the flat side on the nozzle must face toward Fig. 5 the side of the frame with the brass pin. Once inserted, rotate it 90°.

Step 3. Insert the electrical power cord into the outlet. Heating time is approximately 4-6 minutes with cold water. Filling the steam generator with hot water will shorten the heat up time.

Attaching the Steam Pocket Towel to the Frame

Warning: To avoid burns, always insure the unit is “UNPLUGGED” from the wall receptacle prior to attaching or removing accessories.

1. Slide the steampocket towel over the steam pocket frame. (Fig. 6)
2. Bring the towel all the way to the top of the steam pocket frame. (Fig. 7)
3. Bring the hook and latch strips that are on the back side of the steam pocket towel over the steam  pocket frame and attach to the inside of the front side of the steam pocket towel. (Fig. 8)

Note: When replacing the steam pocket towel, make sure that the steam pocket frame has been allowed to cool before removing or attaching a new steam pocket towel.

Care & Maintenance of the Steam  Pocket Towel

Due to the unique cleaning ability of this cloth, proper care of your micro- fiber steam pocket is required to ensure long life and continued cleaning ability.

• The first thing you should do when you get a new micro-fiber steam pocket is to wash and dry it. During the manufacturing process the fabric has a tendency to become flat as it picks up contaminants from the air and machinery. There will also be a number of loose threads that, while they cause no harm, can be annoying the first time you use the steam pocket.
• To clean the steam pocket, simply wash it in your washing machine using the warm water setting.
• Always wash your steam pocket towel separately from other fabrics. They have a tendency to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics and the next time you use your steam pocket, this lint will transfer to the surface being cleaned.
• ONLY USE LIQUID DETERGENTS, never use dry detergents as many times the granules do not fully dissolve and become trapped in the steam pocket. This can scratch the surface that you are cleaning.
• NEVER USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS! Bleach will damage the micro-fiber fabric and fabric softeners deposit a coating on the micro-fiber fabric that will not allow the cloth to clean efficiently.
• Air dry the steam pocket. Do not put in a clothes dryer as high heat will cause the steam pocket to shrink and the micro-fibers to break down.
•  If you wash your steam pocket on a regular basis and don’t let them get too dirty, they will last much longer. As with any fabric, dirt particles, grease and other contaminants can cause the fibers to break down, therefore regular cleaning will help preserve your micro-fiber steam pocket.
•  As you use the micro-fiber steam pocket, you will notice that sometimes a thread will loosen or pull out. This is normal and you should NEVER PULL AT THE LOOSE THREAD! Pulling the thread can cause the weave to come undone. Instead, simply trim the thread with a pair of sharp scissors.

Attaching the Accessories to the Flexible Steam Hose

Allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes before changing accessories.

Caution: Be aware of hand placement and take care not to actuate the steam discharge switch while installing or removing accessories.

Window Squeegee
This attachment is very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramic, tiled or marble surfaces.

Important: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

To use: Connect the window squeegee to the hand grip or use with extension tube for hard to reach surfaces.
Apply steam abundantly, then remove excess water and dirt with the glass wiping edge.

Extended Concentrator

Use the extended concentrator to clean under toilet rims and hard to reach places.

To use: Attach the extended concentrator to the handgrip or to the extension tubes.

Nylon Detail Brush (x2)

It is best for cleaning grout in-between the tiles, ceramic and marble.
To use: Screw on the nylon detail brush on to the end of the concentrator nozzle, which then may be used directly on the hand grip or with extension tubes.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap

Using the detachable shoulder strap allows for greater freedom of movement when both hands are needed for various cleaning tasks. To attach the shoulder strap to the steam cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap hooks onto the connecting rings on the unit body. (Fig. 9)

Important: When using the steam cleaner with the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting the unit excessively as this may cause water to enter the hose and be discharged along with the steam.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

Care and Maintenance

If you consistently use distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.

Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner
Normally, 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 from the tank. Fill the boiler with 8 oz. (125 ml) of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tankfulls.

To Descale the Steam Cleaner

1. Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow the unit to cool.
2. Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler.
3. After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.

Water

• Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.
• However, if you live in an area with hard water, use distilled water when steaming light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.

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 water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

Efficient Work

• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a towel 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.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as possible, otherwise it will dry and re-adhere to the surface.

Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the steam pocket to clean wood, vinyl and marble floors. Move the steam pocket across the floor as if you are mopping. When one side of the towel is soiled, turn the steam pocket frame and use the other side. One of the great advantages of using our steam pocket is that your floor will dry faster than if you used a mop or other floor cleaning device. It is normal that some moisture may be left behind depending on how quickly you move the steam pocket across the floor and the relative heat and humidity of the room. Be sure to move quickly and steadily over wood, linoleum and vinyl flooring to avoid damaging the surface and removing wax.

To Clean Wood Floors: Use the steam pocket with quick strokes. To prevent damage to wood floors, follow the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations. If you are using the steam cleaner on sealed wood floors, inspect the floor surface for worn finish, bare wood or separated joints. Do Not use the steam cleaner if any of these conditions exist.

To Clean Waxed Floors: Use the steam pocket with quick strokes. This will cause the dirt to be removed but not the wax.

Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to build up in any kind of vinyl since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.

Tile Floors: Use the concentrator with the detail brush. Have the steam pocket ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the detail brush. Remove the concentrator nozzle and detail brush and attach the hose and steam pocket. Move the steam pocket across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue.

Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the concentrator nozzle with or without the detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with detail brush or clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried.

Always test color fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning.
If your steam cleaner fails to remove stubborn stains a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.

Caution: Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric-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.
Windows, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapor jet using the top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off 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.

Caution: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.

Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces

Use the 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 a terry cloth towel over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue. Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water after it is cleaned.

Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the detail brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The dual edge window/tile 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. Wipe with towel.

Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the steam cleaner.

To clean sanitary fixtures, use the concentrator nozzle with or without detail brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue.
To clean the sink and faucets, use detail brush then finish by wiping with a towel.

Soap Scum
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 clean terry cloth towel.

Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the detail brush to break up this surface – or spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals. 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 detail brush again and re-clean.

Garden Furniture
Use any of the brushes depending on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by wiping with a towel.

Blinds
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. Finish by wiping with a towel.

Automotive
For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the detail brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by applying the vapor with the concentrator and following with a paper towel.
To clean bicycles, use the detail brush. To clean equipment, use the detail brush, depending on the surface area. Finish by wiping down with a towel.

Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator nozzle without a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt.

Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by steam pocket, it immediately dissolves and flows into the steam pocket towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the steam pocket over the surface.

Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This is accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth towel to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the concentrator.

Note: Always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before you apply vapor to it.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A TOWEL

Refrigerator – Use the concentrator 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 detail brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains around door gaskets can be removed with the detail brush.

To clean microwaves or other small appliances use the nylon detail brush for small areas.

Note: When cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning. Do not direct steam into any openings of the appliances.
To clean counter tops, use the detail brush first in order to loosen the debris, then wipe with a terry cloth towel to finish.

Hints
The steam cleaner has many uses that have not been mentioned. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit. However, the ways in which to use the attachments and brushes are in most cases universal. It is most helpful to always have a terry cloth towel or paper towel ready to use for removal of moisture and residue. 100% white cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your steam cleaner. When cleaning the detail brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher.

Note: Wipe with a towel immediately before the cleaned area dries. When cleaning the oven, use the detail brush to clean around the elements and drip trays. Use the detail brush for cracks, crevices, and hard to reach areas.
