IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your Portable Steam Cleaner with Caddy, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using your
steam cleaner.

2. Use the system only for its intended use.

3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,
do not immerse any part of the system in
water or other liquids.

4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
Let the system cool completely before
putting away or opening water tank
(removing the safety cap). Wrap cord
loosely around system when storing.

6. Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use. Always turn the
safety cap slowly when opening the water
tank . This will allow any remaining steam
to escape gradually.

7. Do not operate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the steam cleaner. Return the
system to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see
warranty) for examination and repair.
Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a
risk of electrical shock or injury to persons
when the steam cleaner is used.

8. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected to electrical outlet or when hot.

9. Burns can occur from touching hot metal
parts, hot water or steam. Use caution
when draining unit after use as there may
be hot water in the unit. Never direct steam
at any person. The steam is very hot and
can cause burns.

10. Do not operate in the presence of
explosive and/or flammable fumes.

11. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions
in this manual.

12. Never use any chemicals or substance
other than tap water in the machine. Use of
chemicals may damage the machine. Use
of chemicals will automatically void your
warranty.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:

• Do not leave the steam cleaner plugged
in when unattended. Unplug the electrical
cord when not in use and before servicing or
refilling water tank.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.

• Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close
a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.

• Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.

• Do turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or steam cleaner with wet
hands or operate without shoes.

side. Never direct steam towards people,
animals or plants.

• Do not immerse the steam cleaner into water
or other liquids. Always unplug the power
cord from the electrical socket when filling the
steam cleaner.

• Do NOT

perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to
the water used in this appliance as this
may damage the unit or make it unsafe for
use. Use tap water or distilled/purified

water if the tap water in your area is very hard.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS cont.

Bathroom Areas cont.

To clean sanitary fixtures, use the
concentrator with or without detail
brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper
towel to wipe up excess moisture and
residue.
To clean the sink and faucets, use detail
brush then finish by wiping with a towel.

Automotive

To clean inside your car, use the floor
brush with a terry cloth towel attached
to clean upholstery and interior areas
just as in the home. You should not
expose the bristles to leather - use only
the brush with the terry cloth towel
attached. For detailing the wheels, use
the concentrator and the detail brush.
Exterior windows are cleaned best by
applying the vapor with the concentrator
and following with a paper towel.
To clean bicycles, use the detail brush.
To clean equipment, use the detail
brush, depending on the surface area.
Finish by wiping down with a towel.

Artificial Plants

Use the concentrator without a brush
attached to blow off the dust and dirt.

Clothing

A vapor cleaning system is excellent for
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply
“vaporize” the surface from a distance
(12”-18”) The dry vapor removes
wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet
like ordinary fabric steamers do.

Nicotine and Tar

Nicotine and tar dissolves at high
temperatures and becomes a light
yellow oil that has the consistency of
sewing machine oil. When the
nicotine/tar film is touched by a hot terry
cloth towel clipped over the floor brush,
it immediately dissolves and flows into
the towel. You can remove it from flat
surfaces as fast as you can move the
brush over the surface.

Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.

Many stains are only stuck on the
surface of materials and can be easily
and quickly removed by “blowing”
excess material away from the surface
from the side. This is accomplished by
using the concentrator. Hold the terry
cloth towel to the side to catch the loose
residue as it is blown by the
concentrator. Note: Always vacuum
any loose residue off the surface before
you apply vapor to it.

Hints

ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING

DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A

The portable steam cleaner has many
uses that have not been mentioned.
This was meant only to give you a
general idea of what can be achieved
with the unit. However, the ways in
which to use the attachments and
brushes are in most cases universal. It
is most helpful to always have 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. To clean the floor brush,
hold at one end and use the
concentrator to simply blow off dirt into
the garbage can. When cleaning the
detail brush, use a pair of pliers to hold
and blow dirt as above or place in the
basket of your dishwasher.

Note: Wipe with a towel immediately
before the cleaned area dries. When
cleaning the oven, use the detail brush
to clean around the elements and drip
trays. Use the detail brush for cracks,
crevices, and hard to reach areas.

Refrigerator

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 to get into
all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains
around door gaskets can be removed
with the detail brush.
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.
To clean counter tops
brush with a terry cloth towel attached.
For heavily soiled areas, use the brush
without the terry cloth towel first in order
to loosen the debris, then follow with a
terry cloth towel attached to finish.

1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit) as the steam cleaner.

2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum
of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power
supply/electrical outlet.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-

type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

CAUTION: Always drain condensed water from hose

before use or if unit has been left idle for a period of time. To
drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink
and depress hand grip steam trigger. Once hose has been
drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle
towards people, animals or plants.
