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 sepa- rately 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:

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces. Sur- faces 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 ex- posure 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 guide- lines. For flooring in question, always test on a small inconspicuous area before pro- ceeding.

Using Your Canister Steam System

FILLING BOILER

1.Place 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.

!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.

WARNING: Water may be hot.

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 48 oz (1,420 ml) of water.

NOTE: In order to significantly reduce mineral build-up and prolong the life of your Can- ister Steam System, use of distilled or de-mineralized water in the unit is highly recom- mended. 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.

ENGLISH | 13

Using Your Canister Steam System

GENERAL OPERATION

NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that all desired accessories are connected 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.Once 2 Bar (29 PSI) is reached, the unit is ready to begin steaming. At approximately 4 Bar (58 PSI), the unit will have maximum pressure.

NOTE: As steam is released, pressure will drop. This is a normal condition. When steam flow is stopped, pressure will begin to increase. Normal pressure with continuous steam flow is approximately 2 Bar (29 PSI).

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 Trig- ger, 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 clean- ing process. Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime. Wip- ing 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. Follow steps under Proper Storage procedure on Page 16 of this manual.

STEAM MOPPING

NOTE: Be sure that Boiler has been filled and that all steam mopping accessories are con- nected before following these steps.

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

14 | ENGLISH

Using Your Canister Steam System

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 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 un- sealed 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 recom- mended to allow floor time to air-dry. A fan may be directed towards mopped area to facilitate drying.

Storage & Care

PROPER STORAGE

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

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 any remaining water from Boiler into a sink or tub ??? this will help to minimize mineral build-up and prevent over-filling during your next use. Replace Boiler Cap loosely.

7.Store accessories. Utility Brushes can be conveniently stored in the Accessory Net. Remain- ing accessories can be stored in the Storage Bag.

8.Store Canister Steam System in a cool, dry location.

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 effective- ness and reduce the life of your Canister Steam System.

The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using your Canister Steam System. 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.Slowly pour 8 oz of vinegar into Boiler.

8.Allow to stand for 40 minutes.

9.Drain vinegar from Boiler.

10.Rinse Boiler with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.
