PRODUCT INFORMATION  
· The Pole (1) connects the Pole Top (not shown) to the  
main unit at the Pole Base (2). The Pole Top is comprised of the  
Clothes Hanger Hook and the Steam Nozzle Holder. The Clothes  
Hanger Hook allows you to steam garments that are hanging  
from a clean, rust-free hanger, while the Steam Nozzle Holder  
provides a safe and convenient place to hang the Steam Nozzle.  
· The Water Tank (3) is the reservoir where water is placed for use  
by the steamer. Water is placed in the Water Tank by removing  
the Water Tank Cap (4), exposing the inlet into which water  
can be poured.  
· The Carrying Strap (5) can be used to safely lift the unit off of the  
ground and carry it up flights of steps or other obstacles over  
which the unit cannot be rolled.  
· The Lighted On/Off Switch (6) provides a visual indication of  
whether or not the steamer is in use.  
· The Drain Plug (7) can be removed for easy drainage of the Water  
Tank.  
· The Power Cord (8) plugs into a standard three-prong electrical  
outlet.  
· The Rolling Casters (9) allow for quick and effortless movement  
of the steamer over flat, stable surfaces.  
· The Hose Base and Electrical Plug Receptacle (10) is the point to  
which the Hose attaches to the main unit. The Hose (11) is the  
delivery system for the steam to be transmitted from the Water  
Tank to the Steam Nozzle.  
· The Handle (12) is permanently attached to the Steam Nozzle, and  
provides a safe point to grip and direct the flow of steam.  
· The Steam Trigger (13) must be depressed in order for  
steam to be emitted from the Steam Nozzle.  
· The Steam Nozzle (14) is the aperture from which steam flows  
and is spread over a wide area.  
· The Water Filter works to purify the water in the Water Tank,  
ensuring that the steam you use is as clean and pure as possible.  
The Water Filter is replaceable (see page 3 of this manual for  
information on ordering replacement filters).

USING YOUR QUICKSTEAMTM PROFESSIONAL  
WARNING: Always unplug unit from electrical outlet before  
filling or emptying Water Tank.  
1. Fill Water Tank with cool water. To prolong the lifetime of your  
TM  
QuickSteam Professional, we recommend using distilled or de-mineralized  
water.  
2. Plug unit into a properly grounded three-pronged electrical outlet, and set  
Lighted On/Off Switch to “On” position. Verify that light on switch is  
illuminated.  
3. Hold Steam Nozzle over object that you desire to steam. Press Steam  
Trigger. Steam should begin flowing from Steam Nozzle in approximately 45  
seconds.  
TM  
4. When finished using QuickSteam Professional, set Lighted On/Off Switch  
to the “Off” position.  
NOTE: It is normal for steam to flow from the Steam Nozzle for a period  
of time after the unit is turned off. This occurs because the Steam Trigger  
allows water to flow into the unit’s boiler. Once you release the Steam  
Trigger, the remaining water in the boiler will continue to flow from the  
Steam Nozzle for a period of time until the boiler is empty.  
AUTO SHUT-OFF  
TM  
The QuickSteam Professional is equipped with an Auto Shut-Off feature. This  
protects the unit from damage that can occur from operating with a dry Water  
Tank. If the water level inside the Water Tank drops below the Water Fill Line  
(which can be found inside the Water Tank), the unit will automatically shut  
down and cannot be restarted until water is added and level exceeds the Water  
Fill Line.

USING YOUR QUICKSTEAMTM PROFESSIONAL  
STEAMING FABRIC  
CAUTION: Be careful when handling garments on Clothes Hanger Hook.  
Pulling on the garment with too much force may cause unit to tip over.  
1. To steam garment, place it on clean, rust-free clothes hanger, and place  
hanger on Clothes Hanger Hook.  
2. Grasp Handle, and direct Steam Nozzle at the bottom of garment. Steam  
will rise along inside and outside of fabric, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide  
nozzle vertically, from bottom to top of garment.  
NOTE: DO NOT allow kinks to form in Hose at any time.  
3. Direct steam away from garment, and smooth fabric with free hand.  
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary until fabric is wrinkle-free.  
5. Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.  
6. To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs, and napkins, drape them  
over a rod or towel rack, and gently steam.  
7. Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming.  
8. To remove stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.  
For special steaming needs, a Fabric Brush and Lint Remover have  
TM  
been included with your QuickSteam Professional. See the  
“Attaching Accessories to Steam Nozzle” section on page 9 for more  
information on attaching these accessories.  
FABRIC BRUSH  
LINT REMOVER  
May be used to assist you in  
removing exceptionally  
stubborn wrinkles from fabric  
Useful for removing lint and  
other small particles from  
garments, drapes, and curtains

4. Hang Steam Nozzle from Steam Nozzle Holder.  
TM  
5. Roll QuickSteam Professional to a convenient storage location.  
CLEANING AND LONG-TERM STORAGE  
It is recommended that you follow this procedure at least once per week.  
Use of distilled or de-mineralized water reduces the need for cleaning and  
TM  
prolongs the lifetime of your QuickSteam Professional.  
1. Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position.  
2. Unplug Power Cord from electrical outlet.  
3. Wait for unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).  
4. Remove Hose and Pole from unit, and set them aside.  
5. Using Carrying Strap, carry the unit to a sink or tub.  
6. Drain water from Water Tank into sink or tub. Rinse Water Tank with  
fresh water, and drain completely.  
7. Drain steamer by removing Drain Plug and emptying the contents into  
sink or tub. Tilt unit towards Drain Plug to facilitate removal of  
water.  
8. Flush unit by filling Water Tank and Hose Base with fresh water and  
draining completely. Replace Drain Plug.  
9. Reattach Pole and Hose to unit (refer to assembly instructions on pages  
8 and 9 for assistance).  
10. Wrap Hose loosely around Pole one time.  
11. Hand Steam Nozzle from Steam Nozzle Holder.  
TM  
12. Roll QuickSteam Professional to a convenient storage location.  
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER  
TM  
The QuickSteam Professional incorporates a unique replaceable water filter  
in its steam delivery system. This filter removes most impurities found within  
water, ensuring that steam produced by the unit is as clean and pure as  
possible.  
After a certain amount of use, the filter will no longer remove water impurities  
as efficiently. When this occurs, it is recommended that you replace it in order  
TM  
to continue getting the most out of your QuickSteam Professional. To do  
this, simply unscrew the Drain Plug Cap, grasp the filter by the handle, and  
pull it out. Then insert a new filter into the unit cylinder-first (refer to item 15  
on page 6 for an illustration of correct filter orientation). See order form on  
page 3 of this manual for information on obtaining new water filters.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILDUP  
One common problem with steamers is mineral build-up caused by a high  
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside  
of internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or, in some  
cases, no steaming at all.  
NOTE: To reduce or eliminate occurrence of mineral build-up we  
recommend use of de-mineralized or distilled water in unit.  
The procedure below can be used to reduce mineral build-up. If you are  
unable to use de-mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you follow  
this procedure monthly.  
1. Turn unit off, and unplug power cord.  
2. Remove Hose and Pole from unit.  
3. Drain Water Tank by following steps 1-7 of the Cleaning and Long-  
Term Storage procedure on page 12 of this manual.  
4. Mix a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water. In most cases, 32oz. of  
this solution will be sufficient. (16oz. of each)  
5. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Hose Base connector.  
6. If standing water-vinegar solution becomes visible in Water Tank’s  
inlet hole, continue to pour solution into Hose Base until mixture is  
visible in Water Tank.  
7. If standing water-vinegar solution does not become visible in Water  
Tank’s inlet hole, continue pouring solution into Hose Base until  
standing solution appears near top of Hose Base. Pour additional  
solution into Water Tank until a layer of solution covers bottom.  
8. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.  
9. Drain solution out of Water Tank by removing drain plug and allowing  
liquid to drain into a sink or tub.  
10. Drain solution out of Hose Base by tilting unit over a sink or tub and  
pouring the water out of Hose Base.  
11. Pour clean water in Hose Base and Water Tank inlet, and drain.  
Repeat this step until vinegar odor dissipates.  
12. Reassemble unit and operate normally.  
If this procedure does not return unit to normal operation, it may be in  
need of servicing. Please Contact our trained customer support team at  
(800) 711-6617 ext. 102/130.
