receptacle prior to initial filling or re-filling
the water tank. Use tap water or
distilled/purified water if the tap water
in your area is very hard.
WARNING: Never attempt to fill this
unit under a water tap, always use the
filling flask that is provided. Failure to
follow these steps will cause the water
tank to overfill and may pose an electrical
safety hazard.

make sure that the unit is NOT
plugged in.
Step 2: Hold unit upside down and
remove the water tank filling plug.

Do not overfill. Replace the
water tank filling plug making sure
that it is firmly in place.

(120 volt, grounded) wall
receptacle. The power light will
now illuminate.
Step 5: Allow approximately 30 - 60
seconds for the unit to reach its

come out from the nozzle of
the attachment. This is normal.
IMPORTANT:
When the Steam
Bottle has run out of water, steam
output will cease.
Using the Steam Bottle
The steam bottle is very useful for
cleaning surfaces that are difficult to
reach. It is ideal for radiators, door
and window jambs, shutters and
sanitary fixtures.
NOTE:
If using the steam bottle with
the nozzle pointing downwards, you will
need to return the unit to an upright
position every now and again to enable
the tube inside the water tank to dip into
the water reservoir, thereby preserving
the flow of water to the heating
element.

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

Tips On How To Use Your
Steam Bottle
Water
• Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
• If you live in an area with hard
water, use distilled/purified water
when steaming light colored fabrics
to eliminate the possibility of hard
water stains.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water used
in this appliance. Use tap water or
distilled/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.
Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe always
from the top down, in this way the
dirty water will not soil surfaces
already cleaned.
• Wipe dirt as soon as possible,
otherwise it will dry and re-adhere
to the surface.
Hints
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
unit 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.
NOTE
: Wipe immediately before the
cleaned area dries.

This appliance must be
unplugged from the electrical outlet
before performing any cleaning or
maintenance tasks on the unit.
• Let the appliance cool down
completely before cleaning or storing.
• Empty all water from the water tank
after each use.
• Store in a dry, cool place with the
filling hole open.

will free it from deposits. This is
recommended every 10 tankfulls
to free up any scale deposits. Fill the
water tank with water and shake
vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside
down to empty the water tank and
any scale deposits.
