CONGRATULATIONS
We would like to thank you, and congratulate you for
purchasing the Steamboy T2 floor sweeper/steamer from
Reliable Corporation.
This Sweeper/Steamer is a new way of cleaning that is
effective and far more hygienic than conventional methods.
The Sweeper is designed to sweep dry spills, dust and general
light debris from hard floor surfaces.
The Steamer achieves a high degree of hygiene and cleaning
power by converting water into steam. It works with a micro
fiber pad, which enhances absorbency. When contact is made
with floor surfaces, dirt and grime can be eliminated in a
matter of seconds.
Since the Steamer uses the active power of steam without the
use of detergents or soap, it is environmentally friendly.
When used correctly the Steamer can kill dust mites and some
types of bacteria, such as salmonella and E-coli.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The Sweeper is designed to sweep dry spills, dust, and general light debris from
hard floor surfaces (not carpet).
We recommend that you first sweep the floor and then steam it. However, you can
turn the sweeper on and utilize the steam function simultaneously for small tidy ups.
The Steamer is designed to thoroughly clean floor surfaces, such as marble,
ceramic, stone, linoleum, sealed hard wood floors and parquet.
WARNING: on surfaces that have been treated with wax, the wax may be
removed by the heat and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood floors
or let unit stand on any wood floor for an extended period of time. This could
cause the wood grain to rise. It is therefore recommended that a test cleansing
be carried out on an isolated area of the floor. It is also recommended that you
check the use and care instructions of the surface from the floor manufacturer
to ensure suitability to steam cleaning.
For first time use of the machine, please hold onto the switch to allow the water
to get pumped to the steam chamber. The pump will make a louder noise during
this initial operation.
To disinfect a specific area, position the steamer over the area
for a minimum of five seconds. The steam temperature will reach
approximately 120°C (248°F). Use this procedure to disinfect
floors near toilets, kitchen counters, pet sleeping quarters, etc.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE
• Attach sweeper/steamer base to the body.
• Secure base with a small Phillips head screwdriver until is fully tightened.
• Insert long silver-colored handle down into the sweeper/steamer body.
• Screw the large Phillips head screw through the opening at the back of
steamer body into the rear of the steamer handle and tighten until secure.
• Place the steamer head onto the microfiber pad. It will adhere with the Velcro
®
backing. NOTE: Do not operate without a floor pad in place.
• Remove the water tank by lifting it straight up and away from the unit, unscrew
cap from the water tank and remove it then fill the tank with cool tap water.
Replace and tighten the cap. Put the water tank back into the unit.
• Twist the quick release cord wrap peg clockwise to unwrap the power cord
completely and plug into a grounded electrical outlet.

• The LED will illuminate when the steamer is connected to power outlet.
Please wait for 20 seconds (heat up period) before pressing the steam
release button. Your Steamboy T2 is now ready for use.
• NOTE: It is recommended that another high wattage appliance is not
operated on the same circuit to avoid a circuit overload.
• Press the sweeper button located on the base to turn the sweeper on/off.
Pass over the area to be swept using a forward motion.
• Slowly pass over surface to be cleaned while pressing the steam release
button to emit steam. Hold the steam switch as you are cleaning for periods of
up to 3-5 seconds only. Holding the steam switch continuously will cause the
unit to release water. It is recommended that you sweep the floor prior using
the steamer.
CAUTION: To sanitize an area of your floor, leave the steamer over area for
a minimum of 3 seconds, but no longer than 5 seconds. Leaving the
steamer stationary for a longer period than recommended may cause the
build up of a pale residue. This residue can be removed by using a
decalcifying product or with a few drops of vinegar.
WARNING: Never run the Steamboy T2 without water. Never direct steam at
any person or animal. Use on SEALED HARD FLOOR ONLY.
• When steamer runs out of water it will stop emitting steam. Simply remove
the water tank, refill, and continue cleaning.
• Change the microfiber pad on the steamer base ocasionally while cleaning to
prevent excess moisture from remaining on the floor.
• The carpet glide attachment will assist with freshing and sanitizing the
surface of carpets and area rugs. It is not intended to deep clean or lift dirt
from the carpet.
• When you finish your cleaning, unplug the power cord from outlet, empty the
water tank, carefully remove the pad from steamer head, wind power cord
around the cord wrap
• Carefully pull the dust bin out of the base and empty the contents into a
trash bin. Then place the dust bin back into the unit.
• Over the course of time, hairs, threads and other particles may accumulate
on the rotating sweeper brush. It is advised that these be removed for
optimum functionality.
• Store it upright in a dry area or hang by the storage hook.
CAUTION: The microfiber pad may be very hot.
NOTE: If you have hard water ensure that the anti-scale cartridge is changed
regularly (at least every six months). Replace it more often if your water is
very hard (ie: well water).
