Getting Started

Your portable Steam Pocket

®

is designed to clean
surfaces that will withstand high heat and moisture.
Do not use on unsealed wood surfaces (especially
wooden antique furniture), unglazed ceramic tile, painted
surfaces or surfaces that have been treated with wax,
oils, varnishes, or shellac. The sheen may be removed
by the heat, steam, and friction of the cleaning tools.
Lacquer and polyurethane coatings provide a hard
durable protective finish that withstands moisture but
it is always recommended to test an isolated area of
the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also
recommend you check the use and care instructions
from the surface manufacturer.

DIRECT SPRAY STEAM BOTTLE USE

Cleaning Tip: Direct steam spray for cleaning hard to

reach nooks & crannies and stubborn sticky messes
where focused steam power may be needed. Direct
steam spray can loosen and dislodge compact dirt
often found in corners and tight places where traditional
methods and cleaning tools tend to push dirt into,
making it dif ficult to reach and clean. Spray direct steam
and wipe clean with a cleaning cloth.

CAUTION: Direct steam spray temperature is

extremely hot closest to the nozzle and can
damage surfaces if held directly focusing in
one spot too long. Be sure to constantly move
and adjust the steam spray to avoid causing
damage.

1 Attach the Steam Bottle Nozzle. Aligning the arrow

located on the Steam Bot tle Nozzle with the Un-Lock
symbol located on the Nozzle Connector. Press in
and turn clockwise to secure into place. The arrow
on the nozzle will align with the Lock symbol.

2 To remove the Steam Bottle Nozzle, turn

anticlockwise to unlock and remove.

1 Attach the hose connector. Aligning the arrow located

on the hose connector with the un-lock symbol
located on the nozzle connector. Press in and turn
clockwise to secure into place. The arrow on the hose
connector will align with the lock symbol.

2 To remove the hose, press in and turn the hose

connector anticlockwise to unlock and remove.

3 Select the desired cleaning tool for use. Follow

the cleaning tool sub assembly instructions for the
selected tool.

4 Attach the cleaning tool by inserting the hose stem

into the handle of the cleaning tool. Press in and
turn clockwise at the same time to secure and
press in and turn anticlockwise to release.

Check for proper connection by turning the handle
anticlockwise a few turns. The handle should remain
connected. (Note for reference: This connection
method is the same design used with most over
the counter prescription bottles). The design of this
connection is to prevent the hose from twisting and
kinking during use.

WEDGE CLEANING TOOL ASSEMBLY

5 Slide the wedge shaped cleaning pocket over the

wedge cleaning tool frame until it is completely on.

6 Secure the cleaning pocket onto the frame. Close the

cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the
locking bean to tighten.

Cleaning Tip: The wedge cleaning pocket was designed
for cleaning a variety of surfaces and is exceptional on
those that are large and flat, both horizontal and vertical.
Broad cleaning sides and super absorbent microfibre
fabrics loosen, lift, and lock in dirt and grime while
sanitising at the same time.

Cleaning Tip: The wedge tip and squared edges reach
into tight areas often missed or difficult to reach with
traditional cleaning methods. The wedge sides concave
to wrap around sink and faucet fix tures, door knobs,
and other small cur ved surfaces leaving them clean all
around. Multiple sides provide more surface cleaning
area and allow one to clean with one side and finish
with the other for a “NOW YOU KNOW T HAT’S CLEAN”
performance. Surface examples for use are countertops,
tabletops, cabinets, walls, floor spot cleaning, bathroom
fixtures and more.

CAUTION: It is recommended that you allow the

cleaning pockets to cool off before removing
them from the wedge or cylinder tools to avoid
possible scalding injury.

CYLINDER CLEANING TOOL ASSEMBLY

1 Squeeze “chopsticks” together and slide the cylinder

shaped cleaning pocket over the cylinder cleaning
tool frame until it is completely on.

2 Secure the cleaning pocket onto the frame. Close the

cinch by pulling on the elastic band and sliding the
locking bean to tighten.

Cleaning Tip: The thin cylinder shape provides

controlled cleaning and reaches into narrow areas,
around curved and contoured surfaces for steam
dusting and fine cleaning activities. Specialised dusting
cleaning pockets provide gentle cleaning of surfaces,
objects, and furniture while reaching into crevices and
corners. It is a great cleaning tool for in and around
window sills, door jams and frames, exhaust and intake
vents, banisters, railings, spindles, furniture, seating,
patio furniture, and more.

SHOWER DOOR SQUEEGEE

Cleaning Tip: The shower door squeegee provides

a streak free clean. Star t at the top and gently glide
downward, wiping excess moisture and dirt away.

1 Press fit the shower door squeegee attachment onto

the detail cleaning handle.

CUSTO MER CAR E - NZ: 08 00 00 2 999

CAUTION: Always avoid any sudden changes in

temperature to prevent breakage or cracks.

HOSE & CLEANING TOOL ATTACHMENT USE

Cleaning Tip: Versatile cleaning tools provide multi-

purpose and task specific cleaning solutions for quick
and easy clean-up. Effortlessly interchange the tools
for on the go whole house cleaning in areas missed and
forgotten with the power of super heated steam.

DETAIL SCRUBBING BRUSH ATTACHMENT

1 Press fit the detail scrubbing brush onto the detail

cleaning handle.

1

Cleaning Tip: The scrubbing brush attachment is

great for hard to reach areas and for breaking up
heavily soiled and dried on messes. Allow plent y of time
for steam heat and moisture to penetrate the surface
as it dislodges the mess for wiping. It can be especially
useful in the bathroom and shower area loosening
scum build-up on tile and grout. Select either of the
cleaning pocket tools to clean, sanitise, and wipe up
excess moisture and residue.

NOTE: The detail scrubbing brush is most effective when
applying light pressure. Let the super heated steam and
the bristle tips do the work for you. The sides of the
bristles are not effective for scrubbing. If you apply too
much force, you will bend and deform the bristles.

GARMENT STEAMER ATTACHMENT

CAUTION: Always determine colour fastness

of any fabric, especially with reds or blues.
Taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently
rubbing a small area on the fabric that is out of
sight and out of the way as possible. If colour
bleeds onto the towel, you may need to have
the piece professionally cleaned.

1 Press fit the garment steamer onto the bottle nozzle.

2 For garment steaming, stretch the garment steamer

bonnet over the garment steamer diffuser.

3 For garment brush, attach directly onto the

garment steamer diffuser by aligning the bottom
of the diffuser with the back of the garment brush
attachment. Gently push the top of the garment
brush up into place over the bonnet until the
attachment snaps into place.

Note: It is recommended that the bonnet be used

at all times to assure a dry steam and prevent
condensation.

3

Tip: For freshening upholstery and removing wrinkles

from clothing, fabrics, and drapes.

WARNING: Your portable Steam Pocket® is

designed to clean surfaces that will withstand
high heat and moisture. Do not use on
unsealed wood surfaces (especially wooden

cleaning system will be ready to use

Pocket

within 30 seconds.

NOTE: Make sure surfaces are free of crumbs and

debris before using the portable steam pocket.
Large objects may not be picked up by the Steam

®

Pocket

and will only be pushed around.

GENERATING STEAM

CAUTION: Steam is hot and can cause burns,

so please use with caution.

1 Plug the unit in and wait about 30 to 45 seconds

then press and hold the steam trigger to activate the
pump. You will immediately hear steam generating
and begin to see visible results either from the nozzle
or the attached cleaning tool. It is recommended
that you wait at least 30 seconds before pulling the
trigger as this will minimise water spit ting.

2 Once you release the steam trigger, the pump will

stop delivering water to the boiler and the steam will
reduce to a stop when the boiler becomes empty.

3 For wedge and cylinder cleaning pockets, allow the

bottle to generate enough steam to activate the
cleaning fabric. Once you see visible steam emitting
through the fabric, your cleaning pocket is ready to
use. Some messes, particularly those that are sticky
may require more moisture, so allow more steam
to generate and exhaust from the cleaning pocket
before cleaning.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

1 Your portable Steam Pocket® should not normally

require cleaning, however, should you notice a
decrease in the steam output, it may be necessary to
remove mineral deposits built up around the nozzles.

2 Unplug the cleaner from the electrical outlet

3 Use the provided nozzle cleaner or a small diameter

stiff metal wire, such as a straightened metal
paperclip, and carefully insert the end of the wire
into the nozzle orifice. See illustrations above.
