Using Your
3-in-1 Steam Mop
FABRIC STEAMING
CAUTION: When steaming any material for the first time, it is recommended that you test on a small
inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on synthetic fabrics, velvet, or other steam-
sensitive materials.
NOTE: The lowest setting on the Steam Control Dial is recommended to minimize water spotting.
•
Make sure Fabric Nozzle is properly connected. Refer to Page 9 for details.
•
For general steaming convenience, Extension Pole should be removed so that unit functions as a handheld
fabric steamer. However, Pole may be attached for steaming hard-to-reach spots, such as high curtains. BE
CAREFUL TO SUPPORT POLE WITH TWO HANDS WHEN LIFTING.
•
Follow General operating instructions on Page 11 to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within
"FABRIC" range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
•
For fabrics and linens, direct Fabric Nozzle towards material you wish to steam, and keep the flow of steam
focused there. Using a slight back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further enhance the
steaming process.
•
For garments:
- Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.
- Direct Fabric Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside of material,
removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Fabric Nozzle upward from bottom to top of garment.
- Direct Fabric Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free hand.
- Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.
•
General steaming tips:
- Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
- To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or towel rack and
gently steam them.
- Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
- To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
- Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by water spotting.

STEAM CLEANING

CAUTION: When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you test on a small
inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on leather, wax, polished furniture and floors,
or other delicate, steam-sensitive surfaces.
•
Make sure desired cleaning accessories (Jet Nozzle / Utility Brush / Fabric Nozzle with Squeegee) are
properly connected. Refer to Pages 8 & 9 for details.
•
For general cleaning convenience, Extension Pole should be removed so that unit functions as a handheld
steam cleaner. However, Pole may be attached for cleaning hard-to-reach spots, such as floor grout or
ceilings. BE CAREFUL TO SUPPORT POLE WITH TWO HANDS WHEN LIFTING.
•
Follow General operating instructions on Page 11 to begin steaming. For best results, set unit within
"HANDHELD CLEANER" range as indicated on Steam Control Dial.
•
Direct Jet Nozzle towards surface you wish to steam. Use a slight back-and-forth motion over area to
enhance the cleaning process. To sanitize surfaces, set Steam Control Dial to "HIGH" and hold Jet Nozzle
approximately 1/2 inch from surface for at least 5 seconds. This will most effectively kill germs and bacteria.
•
When using Squeegee, start by thoroughly steaming entire window or mirror, then turn steam off. Next,
press Squeegee to top of window or mirror, and pull slowly downward. Move slowly from one side of the
surface to the other in this fashion until entire surface is clean.
•
Wipe steamed areas with a clean cloth to remove loosened dirt and grime. Wiping the area while it is still
wet is recommended, but use caution when wiping surfaces such as metal that may still be hot.
