    If you think brass ball has come loose from tube, refer to troubleshooting guide on Page 16 for directions to reconnect it.
    Note: First time use may require unit to be primed before steaming will start. This may take 3-5 minutes. Once water has traveled through the components and heated, the unit will begin steaming.

GENERAL OPERATION

NOTE: Be sure that Water Tank has been filled and all desired accessories are connected before following these steps.

  1. For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug. Plug power cord into a convenient electrical outlet.

  2. Turn Steam Control Dial clockwise from “OFF” position to desired steam setting (FIGURE 9). Power Indicator Light will immediately illuminate to indicate that unit is powered on and heating.
    NOTE: Steam settings are broken down by intensity (“LOW” & “HIGH”) as well as function (“MOP/FABRIC” & “HANDHELD CLEANER”). Refer to Page 13 for more information about selecting steam settings.

  3. After approximately 30 seconds, you will hear a buzzing sound as unit begins to emit steam.

  4. Direct Steam Nozzle (with any connected accessories) towards surface you wish to steam. Refer to Steam Mopping section below, as well as Fabric Steaming and Steam Cleaning sections on Page 12, for further details.
    CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle and any accessories are pointed in a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.

STEAM MOPPING

NOTE: It is recommended to sweep or vacuum floors before mopping.

  • Make sure Extension Pole, Mop Head and a Micro flber Pad are all properly connected. Refer to Pages 6 & 7 for details.

  • Follow General operating instructions above to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within “MOP/FABRIC” range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
    NOTE: Only “LOW” setting is recommended for hardwood fl oors.

  • Mop using a steady back-and-forth motion over the floor, working your way backwards in order to avoid walking over the freshly mopped area.
    NOTE: To avoid warping or damage caused by heat and moisture, do not use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Steam may remove the sheen from some floors that have been treated with wax.

  • The Micro fiber Pad will absorb moisture during mopping. However, depending on 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 mopped area to facilitate drying.

  • Due to large size of the Mop Head, it may have dif ficulty 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 3-in-1 Steam Mop in steam cleaning mode. Refer to Steam Cleaning section on Page 12 for details.

FABRIC STEAMING

CAUTION: When steaming any material for the first time, it is recommended that you test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other steamsensitive materials.
NOTE: The lowest setting on the Steam Control Dial is recommended to minimize water spotting.

  • Make sure Fabric Nozzle is properly connected. Refer to Page 9 for details.
  • For general steaming convenience, Extension Pole should be removed so that unit functions as a handheld fabric steamer. However, Pole may be attached for steaming hard-to-reach spots, such as high curtains. BE CAREFUL TO SUPPORT POLE WITH TWO HANDS WHEN LIFTING.
  • Follow General operating instructions on Page 11 to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within “FABRIC” range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
  • For fabrics and linens, direct Fabric Nozzle towards material you wish to steam, and keep the flow of steam focused there. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further enhance the steaming process.
  • For garments:
    • Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.
    • Direct Fabric Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside of material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Fabric Nozzle upward from bottom to top of garment.
    • Direct Fabric Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free hand.
    • Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.
  • General steaming tips:
    • Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
    • To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or towel rack and gently steam them.
    • Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
    • To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
    • Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by water spotting.

STEAM CLEANING
CAUTION: When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on leather, wax, polished furniture and floors, or other delicate, steam- sensitive surfaces.

  • Make sure desired cleaning accessories (Jet Nozzle / Utility Brush / Fabric Nozzle with Squeegee) are properly connected. Refer to Pages 8 & 9 for details.
  • For general cleaning convenience, Extension Pole should be removed so that unit functions as a handheld steam cleaner. However, Pole may be attached for cleaning hard-to-reach spots, such as floor grout or ceilings. BE CAREFUL TO SUPPORT POLE WITH TWO HANDS WHEN LIFTING.
  • Follow General operating instructions on Page 11 to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within “HANDHELD CLEANER” range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
  • Direct Jet Nozzle towards surface you wish to steam. Use a slight back-and-forth motion over area to enhance the cleaning process. To sanitize surfaces, set Steam Control Dial to “HIGH” and hold Jet Nozzle approximately 1/2 inch from surface for at least 5 seconds. This will most effectively kill germs and bacteria.
  • When using Squeegee, start by thoroughly steaming entire window or mirror, then turn steam off. Next, press Squeegee to top of window or mirror, and pull slowly downward. Move slowly from one side of the surface to the other in this fashion until entire surface is clean.
  • 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.

GENERAL STEAMING TIPS
You will find nearly limitless uses for your 3-in-1 Steam Mop. 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 starting guidelines:

  • Many surfaces only require to be sprayed with the Jet Nozzle to clean and disinfect them, then wiped with a clean dry cloth, towel, or paper towel. EX: kitchen counters, microwaves, stove tops, bathroom sinks, kitchen and bath fixtures

  • The soft bristle and hard nylon Utility Brushes can be used on most surfaces for hard-to-remove dirt, grime spots or stains. EX: baked on food on ovens and oven doors, baked on stove top spills, bath and/or kitchen grease and grime, rubber seal on the refrigerator, under/around bath and kitchen fixtures, bath tile seams, grouting
    NOTE: Use careful judgement when deciding what surface to clean with any Utility Brush. Some delicate surfaces may be scratched or damaged by the bristles. If you are unsure whether or not a surface will be damaged, it is recommended that you test a small inconspicuous spot before proceeding.

  • Steam is effective for removing spots and stains from clothing and upholstery. This can be done with steam alone or with a stain remover designed for your specific use. DO NOT put any type of chemical or liquid product in your steamer however; only water is to be used in the unit.

  • Older, dried stains on carpet or hardfi oor surfaces may require a bit of extra scrubbing with one of the Utility Brushes and/or a product designed for stain removal. It is helpful on carpet to blot with a clean dry towel to help remove the spot/stain.

  • The brass Utility Brush is useful for heavy-duty jobs and durable surfaces such as BBQ grills, oven racks, etc. DO NOT use this Brush on anything that the hard 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 unit to reach high places, it is best to grasp Pole with both hands for better support. This should help to get you started with your new 3-in-1 Steam Mop.

  5. Collapse Extension Pole to shortest length and wrap power cord around Cord Brackets.
  6. Store 3-in-1 Steam Mop in a cool, dry location, along with all included accessories.

MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-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 3-in-1 Steam Mop.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de- mineralized water when using your 3-in-1 Steam Mop. In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below be followed at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of your 3-in-1 Steam Mop and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:

  1. Follow STEPS 1-4 under Proper Storage section above. However, do not replace Water Tank Cap at the end of STEP 4.
  2. Insert tip of Cleaning Pin into opening of Steam Nozzle to remove mineral build-up in nozzle. This may also be done to clean accessories such as the Jet Nozzle.
  3. Fill included Measuring Cup with 3.5 oz. (100 ml.) distilled water and 1.5 oz. (50 ml.) vinegar.
  4. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through Fill Hole, then replace Water Tank Cap.
  5. Plug in power cord and set Steam Control Dial to “HIGH”. Allow unit to steam for 1 minute, then set Steam Control Dial back to “OFF”.
  6. Allow unit to sit for approximately 30 minutes, then set Steam Control Dial back to “HIGH” and allow the remainder of the Water Tank’s contents to be steamed out.
  7. Once Water Tank is drained, turn unit off and re fill Tank with 15 oz. (450 ml.) of fresh distilled water. Set Steam Control Dial back to “HIGH” and allow unit to steam until Water Tank is empty. Repeat as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
  8. Set Steam Control Dial to “OFF”, unplug power cord and store 3-in-1 Steam Mop as usual.

IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral build-up removal procedure once per month (if unit is used once every week). More frequent use may require following the procedure more often in order to keep your 3-in-1 Steam Mop operating at full potential. Do not exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning out mineral build-up.
