be unplugged from the electrical
outlet and allowed to cool down before
performing any cleaning or
maintenance tasks on the unit.
A periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will
free it from deposits . This is recommended
every 10-15 tankfulls to free up any scale
deposits. Fill the boiler with water and
shake vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside
down to empty the boiler of water and any
scale deposits.
If you consistently use demineralized or
distilled water, cleaning the tank is
unnecessary.
Descaling
your
steam
cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high
level of calcium deposits and you have
been using tap water to do your steam
cleaning, you should descale your unit after
10-15 tankfulls.
Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from
the power source before you
descale the boiler. Allow to cool.
Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part
vinegar and 5 parts water and
leave overnight or for a period
of approximately 8 hours. Do
not screw the safety/filler cap
onto the steam cleaner while
you are descaling the boiler.
Do
not
use the steam
cleaner
while
descaling
solution
is
inside
the
boiler
.
Step 3: After the period of soaking , turn
the steam cleaner upside down
to empty solution from the boiler.
Due to the fact that a small
amount of solution will be left in
the boiler, it is necessary to rinse
the boiler out with clean water 2 or
3 times. Your steam cleaner is
now ready for use.

WARNING: The steam pocket
...
can become hot enough to
burn. Make sure that you let the steam
pocket cool off for 5 minutes before
touching it.
Efficient
Work
For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
towel 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.
Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as
possible, otherwise it will dry and
re-adhere to the surface.
Wood,
Vinyl
and Marble
Floors
Use the Steam Pocket ™ to clean wood,
Vinyl and marble floors. Move the
Steam Pocket™ across the floor as if
you are mopping. When one side of the
towel is soiled, turn the Steam
PockePM
frame and use the other side. One of
the great advantages of using our
Steam Pocket
™ is that your floor will dry
faster than if you used a mop or other
floor cleaning device. It is normal that
some moisture may be left behind
depending on how quickly you move the
Steam Pocket' " across the floor and the
relative heat and humidity of the room.
Be sure to move quickly and steadily
over wood, linoleum and vinyl flooring to
avoid damaging the surface and
removing wax.
To Clean Waxed
Floors
: Use the
Steam PockePMwith quick strokes.
This will cause the dirt to be removed
but not the wax .
Vinyl
Floors
: Do not allow heat to build
up in any kind of vinyl since it can soften
it enough to affect its texture. Work fast
on vinyl.
Tile
Floors
: Use the concentrator with
the bristle brush. Have the Steam
Pocket" ready as well. Clean the grout
between the tiles with the bristle brush.
Remove the concentrator and bristle
brush and attach the hose and Steam
Pockel
'"
. Move the Steam Pocket t"
across the floor to clean the tile and
remove excess moisture and residue.
Spot
Cleaning
(Carpets)
Use the concentrator with or without the
bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled
area, allowing the steam to penetrate.
Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel.
Dab the spot with the towel (do
not
rub ).
Repeat as necessary to remove stain.
Vacuum only after the carpet has
completely dried. Always test color
fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous
area before cleaning. If your steam
cleaner fails to remove stubborn stains a
commercially available carpet shampoo
may be required.
Upholstery
Use the steam pocket or the steam
diffuser with the bonnet attached
directly to the hand grip. 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
movements or back-and-forth and side-
to-side movements to get all sides of
surface fibers then blot with a towel.
Finish with a brushing in one direction
that will give the fabric a uniform
appearance.
It..
CAUTION:
Always determine
...
the color-fastness of any
fabric-especially with reds or blues -
by taking a clean, moist, warm towel
and gently rubbing a small area as far
down on the back or other out of the
way place on the furniture as
possible. If color comes off on the
towel, you may need to have the
piece dry cleaned.
Window,
Glass
Surfaces
and
Mirrors
Use the window squeegee. Work with
the vapor jet on using the top to bottom
movements. Use the window squeegee
with the vapor off to clear the water from
the glass. To do this without leaving
streaks, use lateral movements from the
top to the bottom of the surface.
It..
CAUTION
: When cleaning
...
windows, always avoid any
sudden changes in temperature to
prevent glass breakaqe or cracks.
IMPORTANT
: DO NOT add
cleaning solutions, scented perfumes,
oils or any other chemicals to the
water used in this appliance as this
