nozzle alone 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 on the  
concentrator nozzle to get into all the  
nooks and crannies.  
To clean microwaves or other small  
appliances use the detail brush for small  
areas.  
Note: When cleaning small electrical  
appliances always unplug them from  
outlet before cleaning.  
Use the detail brush. Slowly move the  
brush over the surface to be cleaned.  
The steam will emulsify the dirt and  
grease on the surface. Follow behind

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.

Soap Scum  
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately  
under a combination of heat and  
moisture. Rinse the surface with a small  
amount of water afterwards.  
Clothing  
A steam cleaning system is excellent for  
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply  
“vaporize” the surface from a distance  
(12”-16”) The dry steam removes wrinkles  
without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary  
fabric steamers do.  
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.  
Upholstery  
Use the garment diffuser head with the  
cleaning bonnet. Use fast, light strokes,  
avoid getting the fabric wet. Be patient  
with stubborn spots; work on a spot  
gently for no more than a minute at a  
time, then wait five minutes for the area  
to dry and repeat. Use circular

FEATURES  
Cleaning Bonnet  
Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner utilizes pressurized steam to remove tough grease,dirt  
and grime. Steam is nature’s purest and most powerful cleaner for safely cleaning all hard  
surfaces in your home without harsh chemicals, thus being perfectly ecological. The appliance has  
various attachments so that it can be used for many purposes such as:  
Tips On How To Use Your Steam  
Cleaner  
Water  
The cleaning bonnet is used with the  
garment diffuser head. Just slip it  
over the attachment. This can be  
used to clean upholstery.  
Use tap water for all your cleaning  
needs.  
However, if you live in an area with  
hard water, use demineralized/  
distilled water when steaming light  
colored fabrics to eliminate the  
possibility of hard water stains.  
1. Clean upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.  
2. Easy to clean difficult to reach areas with the angle adapter or concentrator such as  
faucets, etc.  
3. Ideal for windows, mirrors, glass doors, etc.  
4. Clean fabrics, window coverings, pillows, bedding etc.  
5. Clean hard surface areas such as counters, sinks, shower door tracks, etc.  
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/purified water if the tap  
water in your area is very hard.  
WARNING: Your Hand Held Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard  
surfaces and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use  
on soft plastics,unsealed wood 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.  
Attaching the Hose  
To attach the hose to the concentrator  
nozzle, align the two guide pins inside  
the hose/unit connector with the guide  
pin slots on the nozzle. Push the hose  
in and turn clockwise 90° to lock the  
hose in place. See illustration below.  
Efficient Work  
For vertical surfaces, wipe always  
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.  
CAUTION: Do not plug in the machine during filling. Use a grounded  
receptacle. Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15  
amps - Do not use an ordinary extension cord.  
Lock  
Wipe dirt as soon as possible,  
otherwise it will dry and re-adhere  
to the surface.  
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or  
Unlock  
any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance.  
Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap  
water in your area is very hard.  
Hints  
The Professional Portable Steamer  
has many uses many of which will not  
be mentioned in this owner's manual.  
This is meant only to give you a  
general idea of what can be achieved  
with the unit. However, the ways in  
which to use the units and the

brushes are in most cases universal.  
It is most helpful to always have the  
micro fiber cloth or 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 brush, use a pair of pliers to  
hold the brush or place in the basket  
of your dishwasher.

Note: Wipe immediately before the  
cleaned area dries. When cleaning  
the oven, use the detail brush to clean  
around the elements, drip trays,  
cracks, crevices, and hard to reach  
areas.  
You can only attach the accessories to  
the hose using the concentrator  
nozzle. i.e. angle adapter, detail brush,
