Learning About Your Steamer  
The Safety Cap (1) provides access to the Boiler for water filling. It  
also contains a pressure relief mechanism for safety.  
The Steam Button (2) operates a valve which controls the release of  
steam.  
The Carrying Handle (3) allows for one-handed operation.  
The Steam Ready Light (4) is illuminated when the Boiler is heating  
and goes out when the steam is ready.  
The Steam Jet Nozzle (5) provides a concentrated stream of powerful  
steam for cleaning. It can be used alone or in combination with the  
Utility or Brass brushes.  
The Short Nylon Utility Brush (6) and the Long Nylon Utility Brush  
(7) attach to the Steam Jet Nozzle and assist the steam in removing  
stubborn dirt, grease, grim, and stains.  
The Brass BBQ Grill Brush (8) attaches to the Steam Jet Nozzle and  
works with steam to clean BBQ grills. Note: The Brass Brush will  
scratch soft surfaces. Use with caution.  
The Scrub Brush (9) attaches to the Steam Jet Nozzle and is useful in  
cleaning and sanitizing sinks, counter tops, and stoves.  
The Angled Nozzle (10) attaches to the Steam Jet Nozzle and helps re-  
direct steam to those hard to reach areas.  
The Extension Hose (11) provides a 30 inch extension for attaching  
the Steam Jet Nozzle or the Large Steam Nozzle.  
The Large Steam Nozzle (12) produces a wider steam coverage. It  
provides an attachment point for the Terry Cover, Squeegee and  
Large Utility Brush.  
The Squeegee (13) attaches to the Large Steam Nozzle and allows you  
to easily clean your windows, shower doors, and mirrors.  
The Large Utility Brush (14) attaches to the Large Steam Nozzle for  
cleaning larger areas such as upholstery and carpets.  
The Terry Cover (15), used in combination with the Large Steam Noz-  
zle, turns the unit into a Fabric Steamer for de-wrinkling and deodoriz-  
ing all types of fabric.  
The Measuring Cup (16) insures you fill the unit with the optimum  
amount of water (6 oz) for best results. It’s built-in spout makes add-  
ing water a breeze.

Assembly Instructions  
Attaching the Steam Jet Nozzle or  
Large Steam Nozzle  
To use your Hot & HandySteam Cleaner you  
need to attach the Steam Jet Nozzle or Large  
Steam Nozzle to the main unit. The following  
procedure works for both. (Refer to Figure 3).  
1. Rotate the attachment so that the tabs (B)  
align with the slots on the main unit. This  
will bring the Single Alignment Mark (A)  
to the top.  
2. Insert the nozzle as far as it will go and  
then rotate, in either direction, by 90º. This  
will bring the Dual Alignment Marks (C) to  
the top. The attachment is now secure.  
Using the Extension Hose  
Figure 3  
The Extension Hose (see Figure 4) of your Hot  
& HandySteam Cleaner is designed to ex-  
tend the reach of the unit. One end (D) can be  
inserted into the steam cleaner using steps 1  
and 2 above.  
Caution: End (D) of your Extension Hose may  
not have Dual Alignment Marks. Be sure to  
rotate 90º after inserting this end into the unit.  
This will align the seam of the extender hose  
with the top of the unit. Failure to do so may  
allow steam to flow from the connection.  
At this point either the Steam Jet Nozzle or  
Large Steam Nozzle can be inserted into the  
other end (E) of the Extension Hose using steps  
1 and 2 above.

Assembly Instructions (cont)  
Attaching the Utility Brushes, BBQ Grill Brush and Angled  
Nozzle  
The Utility Brushes, BBQ Grill Brush and Angled Nozzle all attach to the  
Steam Jet Nozzle. Use the following procedure for these attachments. (Refer to  
Figure 5).  
1. Grasp the handle in such a way so you can not accidentally push the Steam  
Button.  
Caution: Do not try to add or remove attachments while steam is coming  
from the unit.  
2. Align the hexagonal fitting on the attachment with the end of the Steam  
Jet Nozzle.  
3. Push the attachment onto the Steam Jet Nozzle as far as it will go.  
Caution: The tip of the Steam Jet Nozzle contains metal that can reach  
high temperatures. To avoid burns never touch the tip of the Steam Jet  
Nozzle.

Assembly Instructions (cont)  
Attaching the Squeegee and Large  
Utility Brush  
The Squeegee and Large Utility Brush both  
attach to the Large Steam Nozzle. Use the fol-  
lowing procedure for these attachments.  
(Refer to Figure 6).  
1. Keeping the top of the Squeegee (or  
Large Utility Brush) at an angle, slide the  
Attachment Fittings (A) on the Large  
Steam Nozzle over the Attachment Hooks  
on the Squeegee (or Large Utility Brush)  
until the bottom of both pieces snap to-  
gether.  
2. Move the Squeegee (or Large Utility  
Brush) so that the top of both pieces  
snap together.

Water Filling Instructions  
1. Place the unit on a level surface.  
2. Unplug the Power Cord.  
If the steam cleaner is still hot from a previous use, complete steps 3-5 below.  
Otherwise proceed to step 6.  
3. Press the Steam Button continuously until all steam is removed from the unit.  
4. Continue to press the Steam Button while cautiously unscrewing the Safety  
Cap.  
Caution: Always press the Steam Button while unscrewing the Safety Cap.  
This ensures any steam still inside the unit will be safely vented out of the  
nozzle.  
5. Let the unit cool for at least 5 minutes.  
Warning: Always allow the unit to cool before adding water. Cold water  
added to a hot boiler can cause hot water and steam to shoot out of the fill  
hole.  
6. Remove the Safety Cap and empty any water that might remain from a previ-  
ous use.  
Caution: Emptying the unit before filling it ensures that the proper amount  
of water is added. Too much water can cause water droplets in the steam and  
could damage the unit.  
7. Fill the Measuring Cup to the maximum fill line with water (6 oz or 180 ml).  
Note: To prolong the lifetime of your steam cleaner, we recommend using  
Distilled or De-mineralized water.  
8. Carefully line up the spout on the Measuring Cup with the water fill hole and  
slowly pour the contents down the fill hole.  
Warning: Extreme care should be taken when pouring water into the boiler.  
Do not look directly down the fill hole when filling the water .  
9. Replace the Safety Cap (Do not over tighten the cap).

Operating the Hot & HandySteam Cleaner  
1. Plug the power cord into a convenient receptacle. The Steam Ready Light  
will immediately illuminate. (Note: The Steam Ready Light is illuminated  
when the Boiler is heating. The unit has no power switch.)  
Warning: This appliance has a grounded (3 prong) plug. Use only in prop-  
erly installed 3 pronged outlets. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
2. The Steam Ready Light should extinguish in 3-4 minutes, indicating that the  
cleaner is ready to steam.  
3. To begin cleaning press the Steam Button on the Handle.  
Warning: Be sure the Nozzle or other attachments are pointed in a safe di-  
rection before pressing the Steam Button.  
4. During use the Steam Ready Light may come back on. This is normal. If you  
notice a drop in pressure release the Steam Button until the Steam Ready  
Light goes out again.  
5. When finished using the steam cleaner unplug the unit and drain.  
Caution: Do not let the steam cleaner operate with a dry Boiler or damage to  
the unit could occur.  
Cleaning and Storage Procedure  
1. Unplug the unit.  
2. Wait for the unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).  
3. Remove the attachments.  
4. Carry the unit to a convenient sink or tub.  
5. Drain any leftover water from the unit.  
6. Flush the Water Reservoir with fresh water and drain. This helps to remove  
any mineral residue that may have built-up. Repeat this step several times.

this procedure monthly.

ing Cup. Pour the mixture into the Boiler.

filled with the vinegar-water mixture.
