USING THE  
HEAVY-DUTY STEAM CLEANER  
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR WITH WATER  
1. Place Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner on a flat, level surface.  
2. Make sure Lighted On/Off Switch is set to “Off” position and grounded power cord is  
unplugged from electrical outlet.  
3. Flip up Storage Compartment lid. Cautiously unscrew and remove Water Reservoir  
cap.  
4. Water Reservoir should always be emptied after each use. If it was not emptied after  
the last use, empty it now. This will prevent over-filling.  
5. Fill Measuring Cup to maximum fill line (16 oz. / 473 ml.) with water.  
NOTE: To prolong the life of your Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner, we recommend  
using distilled or de-mineralized water.  
6. Carefully pour water from Measuring Cup into Water Reservoir through fill hole.  
WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when pouring water into the Water  
Reservoir. Do not look directly down into fill hole when filling. Keep your free  
hand and any children or pets at a safe distance.  
7. Depending on how long you intend to steam, you may repeat steps 5 & 6 up to two  
more times, to have up to a maximum of 48 oz. (1,420 ml.) of water. See chart for a  
comparison of the amount of water vs. approximate steam time.  
8. Replace Water Reservoir cap, ensuring that it is screwed on tightly to prevent hot steam  
from escaping and causing injury.  
9. Lower Storage Compartment lid back down.  
REFILLING WATER RESERVOIR AFTER USE  
If unit has been in use, always follow the safety precautions below before  
removing the Water Reservoir cap:  
1. Allow unit to cool for 5-10 minutes.  
2. Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam.  
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions may result in burns from  
escaping steam when the Water Reservoir cap is removed.

USING THE  
HEAVY-DUTY STEAM CLEANER  
OPERATING HEAVY-DUTY STEAM CLEANER  
NOTE: Be sure that Water Reservoir has already been filled and that all desired  
accessories are connected before following these steps.  
1. Plug grounded power cord into a convenient electrical outlet.  
CAUTION: This unit uses a grounded (3-prong) electrical plug. Use only in  
properly installed 3-prong electrical outlets. Do not attempt to alter plug or  
circumvent this safety feature in any way.  
2. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “On” position. Steam Ready Light will immediately  
illuminate.  
NOTE: Steam Ready Light is illuminated while boiler is heating.  
3. Steam Ready Light will deactivate in 2-8 minutes (depending on how much water is in  
Water Reservoir), indicating that boiler is heated and unit is ready to begin steaming.  
4. Direct Steam Jet Nozzle (or other accessories) towards surface you desire to steam, and  
press Steam Button. To sanitize surfaces, point Steam Jet Nozzle, press Steam Button  
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 Steam Jet Nozzle and other accessories are  
pointed in a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets, and plants)  
before pressing Steam Button.  
5. Keep Steam Button depressed for a continuous flow of steam. You may also slide the  
Steam Lock Switch forward while depressing the Steam Button to lock the Steam  
Button down. This will let you have a continuous flow of steam without having to hold  
down the Steam Button.  
6. Using a slight 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.  
NOTE: During use, the Steam Ready Light may illuminate. This is normal. If you  
notice a drop in steam pressure, release Steam Button until Steam Ready Light  
deactivates once again.  
7. Once steaming tasks are complete, immediately set Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off”  
position and unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet. Follow steps under  
Proper Storage procedure on page 11 of this manual.

CARE & STORAGE GUIDELINES  
PROPER STORAGE  
Preparing your Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you  
have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.  
1. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug grounded power cord from  
electrical outlet.  
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).  
3. Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam.  
4. Remove all accessories from unit.  
5. Drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to prevent over-filling  
during your next use.  
6. Store accessories safely away, near Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner. Utility Brushes can be  
conveniently stored in the Storage Compartment.  
7. Store Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner in a cool, dry location.  
REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP  
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high mineral  
content in many municipal water supplies. The best way to avoid this is to use de-  
mineralized or distilled water in unit. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or  
distilled water, we recommend you use this procedure monthly to help avoid mineral  
build-up:  
1. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug grounded power cord from  
electrical outlet.  
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).  
3. Press and hold Steam Button to release all remaining steam.  
4. Remove all accessories from unit.  
5. Flip up Storage Compartment lid and remove Water Reservoir cap.  
6. Drain water from Water Reservoir into sink or tub.  
7. Using Measuring Cup, make a mixture of 8 oz. (237 ml.) vinegar and 8 oz. (237 ml.)  
water.  
8. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Reservoir.  
9. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.  
10. Drain water-vinegar solution from Water Reservoir.  
11. Rinse Water Reservoir with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.  
12. Replace Water Reservoir cap and lower Storage Compartment lid back down.
