Exterior Areas
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit)
Use the triangular towel adapter with the
triangle towel attached directly to the
concentrator nozzle. 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. Finish with a brushing in
one direction that will give the fabric a
uniform appearance.
For detailing the wheels, use the
concentrator nozzle and the nylon detail
brush.
Exterior windows are cleaned best by
applying the vapor with the concentrator
nozzle and following with the squeegee or
a paper towel.
To clean bicycles, use the nylon detail
brush.
To clean tools or equipment , use the
nylon detail brush, depending on the
surface area.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 14 gage grounded
cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled, tripped over or pinched.
3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power
supply/electrical outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
To clean BBQ’s, use the nylon detail
brush to clean the BBQ rack.
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 determine the
color-fastness of any fabric-
Garden Furniture
Use the nylon detail brushes on the
surface area. Work quickly when cleaning
resin outdoor furniture.
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.
CAUTION: The force and heat of the steam may adversely affect certain
materials. Always check the suitability of using the steam
cleaner on a surface by carrying out a preliminary test on a
hidden area.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply
“vaporize” the surface from a distance
(12”-16”) The dry vapor removes wrinkles
without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary
fabric steamers do.
Examples for guidance only:- Varnished wood or glossy leather can
be bleached by the effects of steam.
- Shiny plastic materials risk being tarnished.
- Acrylic, velvets and linen are very sensitive to the
temperature of steam.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused to objects,
materials, animals or persons due to the inappropriate use of steam, and through
ignoring the advice and recommendations set down in the Owner's Manual.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAM BOTTLE
USAGE SUGGESTIONS FOR STEAM BOTTLE
Soap Scum
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the squeegee. Work with the vapor jet
using top to bottom movements. Use the
squeegee 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. Do not use on cold
glass.
CAUTION: When cleaning
windows, always avoid any
sudden changes in temperature to
prevent glass breakage or cracks.
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately
under a combination of heat and
moisture. Rinse the surface with a small
amount of water afterwards or go back
over it once more with a cloth towel.
Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop
a hard surface from waterborne minerals.
If this is the case, use the nylon detail
brush to break up this surface - or spray
or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer
soda water to soften the minerals.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the nylon detail brush. Slowly move
the brush over the surface to be cleaned.
The vapor will emulsify the dirt and
grease on the surface. Follow behind
with the cloth towel over the brush to
remove excess moisture and residue.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap
scum and cause it to granulate on the
surface. The surface will have a gritty
feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the
surface with the nylon bristle brush again
and re-clean.
Blinds
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless
steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda
water after it is cleaned.
Use the nylon detail brush to clean blinds.
Move the brush over the surface, allowing
enough time for the vapor to penetrate.
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for
color fastness on fabric blinds before
using.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use
the nylon detail brush for grout, shower
door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily
soiled areas. The squeegee will be the
most efficient way to clean the rest of the
area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to
penetrate the surface. This is especially
helpful in the shower area if there is tile or
grout.

Use the concentrator nozzle alone to 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 nylon detail
brush on the concentrator nozzle to get
into all the nooks and crannies.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use

concentrator nozzle with or without nylon
bristle brush. Use a towel to wipe up
excess moisture and residue.
To clean microwaves or other small
appliances use the nylon detail brush for
small areas. Do not inject steam into the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FEATURES OF STEAM BOTTLE
Using the Micro Fiber Cloth
Hints
Your Steam Bottle is a very versatile tool. Used correctly it will help make
many household cleaning tasks faster and easier. Be sure to carefully read all
the information contained in this booklet before using this appliance.
The Steam Bottle has many uses
many of which will not be mentioned
in this owner's manual. This is meant
only to give you a general idea of
what can be achieved with the unit.
However, the ways in which to use the
units and the brushes are in most
cases universal. It is most helpful to
always have the micro fiber cloth or a
terry cloth towel or paper towel ready
to use for removal of moisture and
residue. 100% white cotton towels
work best.
Micro fiber cloths allow deep-down streak-
free cleaning with only water! The cloth's
static charge attracts more dust and retains
it. The result is a gleaming smear free finish.
The micro fiber cloth can be used dry as a
duster or dampened with water for all dirty
surfaces. Use after steaming your chrome
fixtures for a gleaming streak free shine.
The micro fiber cloth can be used on all
surfaces such as: bathroom tiles, kitchen
counters, mirrors, glass, stainless steel,
plastics, etc.
High temperature steam can make it easier to remove stubborn household dirt
from hard surfaces such as ovens, stove tops, kitchen counters, sinks, tubs,
bathroom tiles, windows and mirrors without the need for harsh chemical
cleaners. The appliance has various attachments which enable it to be used for
cleaning different types of surfaces such as:
1. Upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.
2. Easily cleans difficult to reach areas with the concentrator such as
faucets, etc.
You can clean the brushes with your
steam cleaner. When cleaning the
brushes, use a pair of pliers to hold
the brushes or place in the basket of
your dishwasher.
3. Ideal for windows, mirrors, glass doors, etc.
4. Fabrics, window coverings, pillows, bedding etc.
5. Hard surface areas such as counters, sinks, shower door tracks, etc.
Care & Cleaning of Micro Fiber Cloth
Before use: Wash in hot water with
detergent and rinse well and let dry. Do not
use fabric softeners or bleach. Do not put in
dryer or iron. Do not use with cleaning
products such as glass cleaners, etc. If this
happens, wash the cloth and rinse well.
CAUTION: Press steam trigger intermittently no more than once every 1
or 2 seconds. Rapid pressing in succession will cause water leaking and
spitting which could then burn the user’s hand. Wait for steam pressure
to reduce before pressing steam trigger again. By pressing intermittently
you will note a rhythm for maintaining a continuous flow of steam without
any water dripping or leaking.
Note: Wipe immediately before the
cleaned area dries.

•
For vertical surfaces, wipe always
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.
Wipe dirt as soon as possible,
otherwise it will dry and re-adhere
to the surface.
