The Steam Aperture (1) emits a ow of hot, penetrating steam whenever the Steam Button is
•
pressed and held. Either the Jet Nozzle or Wide Nozzle should always be connected to the
Steam Aperture when the unit is in use.
The Boiler Cap (2) is designed to safely contain steam inside the Boiler. The Boiler Cap must
•
be unscrewed and removed in order to ll the Boiler with water.
The Steam Button (3) is pressed and held in order to start the ow of steam from the Steam
•
Nozzle, then released when you wish to stop.
The Handle (4) is engineered to stay cool while providing maximum grip and comfort.
•
The Heating Indicator Light (5) illuminates when the power cord is plugged in and the Boiler has
•
begun heating. The Heating Indicator Light will turn off when the Boiler is fully heated and the
unit is ready to begin producing steam.
The Boiler (6) is the internal reservoir where water is held and heated into steam. For optimal
•
steam production, the Boiler should be lled with no more than 6 oz. (180 ml.) of water.
The Jet Nozzle (7) connects to the Steam Aperture and is designed to focus the ow of steam
•
for concentrated cleaning. The Nylon Utility Brushes and Brass Utility Brush all connect to the
Jet Nozzle.
The Short Nylon Utility Brush (8a), Long Nylon Utility Brush (8b) and Brass Utility Brush (8c) all
•
connect to the Jet Nozzle and are designed for scrubbing especially tough stains. The Nylon
Utility Brushes are ideal for use on many surfaces around the home, including carpet, ceramic
tile, grouting, and more. The Brass Utility Brush is perfect for use on BBQ grills, oven racks,
automobile engines, shop tools and other hard metal surfaces.
NOTE: Some delicate surfaces, such as painted wood or stainless steel, may be scratched
or damaged by the bristles of the Utility Brushes – especially the Brass Utility Brush.
Use careful judgement when deciding what surface to clean with any of the Utility Brushes.
If you are unsure if a surface will be damaged, it is recommended that you test a small
inconspicuous spot before proceeding.
The Wide Nozzle (9) connects to the Steam Aperture, dispersing the ow of steam over a wider
•
area for more gentle cleaning. The Squeegee and Cloth Cover both connect to the Wide Nozzle.
The Cloth Cover (10) stretches over the Wide Nozzle and is designed to absorb excess moisture,
•
helping to prevent water spotting. This allows effective steaming of fabrics and upholstery.
The Squeegee (11) connects to the Wide Nozzle and is designed for cleaning windows, mirrors,
•
and other smooth surfaces.
The Measuring Cup (12) provides an easy and convenient way to consistently ll the Boiler with
•
the optimum amount of water (6 oz. / 180 ml.).
