Assembling Your Deluxe Canister Steam System

STEAM MOPPING ACCESSORIES

WARNING: Do not try to connect accessories while unit is emitting steam.

EXTENSION WANDS

1. Select one of the Extension Wands. Insert end (A) of Wand onto Steam Nozzle (B) with yellow lock/release button slightly off center with hole. Fully insert and rotate wand slightly to allow button to snap into hole.
2. Using the same instruction, attach remaining Extension Wand (C) to the first Wand. Both Extension Wands should now be connected to the Steam Nozzle.

MOP HEAD

1. Align Mop Head with open end of Extension Wand, so that hole in Mop Head aligns with yellow lock/release button on Wand.
2. Press down on yellow lock/release button. While continuing to hold button down, slide Mop Head onto Extension Wand (See figure 1-A). Fully insert and rotate wand slightly until button snaps through hole (See figure 1-B).
   NOTE: Do not use excessive force when mopping or using Extension Wands as this may cause the Wands to break.

BRISTLE BRUSH ATTACHMENT

1. Align Mop Head with Bristle Brush Attachment, so that the release tabs (A) on the Bristle Brush align with the sides of the Mop Head (B).
2. Firmly press the Bristle Brush Attachment onto Mop Head until it securely snaps into place.
   Note: Do not use Bristle Brush Attachment with Microfiber or Scrubbing Mop Pad.

MICROFIBER PADS

1. Lay one Microfiber Pad on flat surface, with two fastener strips facing upward.
2. Align Mop Head with Microfiber Pad. Make sure Mop Head is oriented with Pad as shown, and centered as best as possible (See figure 2-A).
3. Press Mop Head firmly down onto Microfiber Pad. Fastener strips will adhere to Pad Grips on underside of Mop Head. Pad should now be attached and ready for use (See figure 2-B).

CAUTION: Use care when handling a recently used Microfiber Pad, as it may still be hot.

NOTE: Microfiber Pads are machine washable. To avoid picking up lint, washing separately from other fabrics is recommended. Only use liquid detergent. Avoid using any fabric softeners or bleach. Air drying is recommended; machine drying on a low heat or air dry setting is acceptable as well.

The Mop Head and Microfiber Pads are perfect for use on these hard floor surfaces:

• Sealed Hardwood
• Stained Concrete
• Sealed Laminate
• Linoleum
• Glazed Ceramic
• Granite
• Marble
• Tile
• Vinyl

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Surfaces that are not properly sealed may be warped or damaged by exposure to heat and moisture.

• Care should also be taken when steaming sealed hardwood floors, as prolonged exposure to steam in a single spot may cause damage and discoloration. To avoid this, keep the Mop Head in constant motion on these surfaces.
• Steam may remove the sheen from some floors that have been treated with wax.
• Extremely rough textured floors may tear or damage Microfiber Pads.

Before steaming any flooring, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines. For flooring in question, always test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding.

WARNING: Do not use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. For flooring in question, always test on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding.
NOTE: Before cleaning electrical appliances, check and follow appliance manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. Never apply to electrical parts.
NOTE: Some delicate surfaces, such as painted wood or stainless steel may be scratched or damaged by the bristle of the brushes, especially the Brass Utility Brush. Use careful judgment when deciding what surface to clean with any of the brushes. If you are unsure if a surface will be damaged, it is recommended that you test a small inconspicuous spot before proceeding.

Using Your Deluxe Canister Steam System

FILLING BOILER

1. Place Deluxe Canister Steam System on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure illuminated On/Off Switch is turned to “Off” and grounded power cord is unplugged from electrical outlet.
   WARNING: If unit has been in use, always use the following safety precautions before removing the Boiler cap to add water:
    
   • Allow unit to cool for 20 minutes or until pressure gauge is at zero.
   • Press and hold Steam Trigger to release ALL remaining steam.
     WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may result in burns from escaping steam when the Boiler Cap is removed.
3. Cautiously unscrew and remove Boiler Cap.
4. Drain any water remaining inside Boiler.
   NOTE: The Boiler should be emptied after each use – this will help minimize mineral build-up and prevent over-filling.
5. Using the Fill Cup, fill the unit with 64 oz (1,892 ml) of water.
   NOTE: In order to significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your Deluxe Canister Steam System, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly recommended. Refer to Page 16 for more information about mineral build-up. WARNING: Caution should always be used when pouring water into the Boiler. Do not look directly down into fill hole when filling. Keep your free hand and any children or pets at a safe distance.
6. Replace Boiler Cap, ensuring that it is screwed on tightly to prevent hot steam from escaping and causing injury.

GENERAL OPERATION

NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that desired accessories areconnected before following these steps.

1. For first time use, remove protective plastic cover from electrical plug. Plug power cord into a electrical outlet.
2. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “On” position.
3. The pressure gauge indicates the operating pressure of the steam cleaner. Once the needle is in the green section, the unit is ready to begin steaming.
   During use and as steam is released, pressure will drop. This may cause the needle to move down in the green section. This is a normal condition. As long as the needle is in the green section, the product is operating normally. If the needle is continuously in the yellow or red section.
4. Direct Nozzle (and any connected accessory) towards surface you desire to steam, and press Steam Trigger. To sanitize surfaces, point Nozzle, press Trigger and hold approximately 1/2 inch from surface for at least 5 seconds. This will insure that you have killed germs and bacteria. 
   CAUTION: Always be sure that Nozzle and any accessory are pointed in a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants) before pressing Steam Trigger.
5. Keep Steam Trigger pressed for a continuous flow of steam. You may also hold the Steam Trigger, then push the Steam Trigger Lock to lock it down. This will allow a continuous flow
   of steam without need of holding the Steam Trigger down manually. Steam output can be adjusted by simply turning the Steam Adjustment Knob.
6. Using a back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further 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.
7. Once steaming tasks are complete, turn the unit “Off” and unplug.

STEAM MOPPING

NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that all steam mopping accessoriesare connected before following these steps.

It is recommended to sweep or vacuum hard floors before mopping.

1. Follow Steps 1-3 of General Operation section above. Refer to Page 9 for a listing of hard floor surfaces that are recommended for cleaning with the Deluxe Canister Steam System.
2. For best results, use a continuous back-and-forth motion over floor surface, pushing the Mop Head away and pulling it back towards you. Work your way backwards over the floor, in order to avoid walking over freshly mopped areas.
   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.
3. The Microfiber Pad will absorb dirt and moisture during mopping. However, when you are finished you may find some residual moisture has been 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.

Storage & Care

PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Deluxe Canister Steam System for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.

If you are unable to use distilled water, it is recommended that the following procedure be followed monthly to remove any mineral build-up:

1. Turn unit “Off” and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Press and hold Steam Trigger to release all remaining steam.
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Carefully remove Boiler Cap.
6. Drain water from Boiler into a sink or tub.
7. Using Measuring Cup, measure 8 oz. (237 ml.) of vinegar.
8. Slowly pour vinegar into Boiler.
