Operation Manual

stains a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOTadd
cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in
this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.
CAUTION:Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric-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.
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using the top to bottom
movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off 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.
CAUTION: When cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in
temperature to prevent glass breakage or cracks.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the bristle 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 a terry cloth towel
over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue.
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water
after it is cleaned.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the bristle brush for grout, shower door
tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The window squeegee will be the
most efcient 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. Wipe with towel.
Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the
steam cleaner.
To clean sanitary xtures, use the concentrator with or without bristle brush.
Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue.
To clean the sink and faucets, use bristle brush then nish by wiping with a towel.
Soap Scum
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 clean terry cloth towel.
Note:Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals.
If this is the case, use the bristle brush to break up this surface -or spray or wipe rst
with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals.
