Hints
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another appliance on the same socket
(circuit) as the steam cleaner.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an extension cord rated a minimum
of 15 ampere, 14 gage cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.
To clean sanitary fixtures, use the
concentrator with or without detail
brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper
towel to wipe up excess moisture and
residue.
ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING
DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A
TOWEL
The portable steam cleaner has many
uses that have not been mentioned.
This was meant only to give you a
general idea of what can be achieved
with the unit. However, the ways in
which to use the attachments and
brushes are in most cases universal. It
is most helpful to always have a terry
cloth towel or paper towel ready to use
for removal of moisture and residue.
100% white cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your
steam cleaner. To clean the floor brush,
hold at one end and use the
To clean the sink and faucets, use detail
brush then finish by wiping with a towel.
3. Do not leave unattended when the system is connected to a power
supply/electrical outlet.
Automotive
To clean inside your car, use the floor
brush with a terry cloth towel attached
to clean upholstery and interior areas
just as in the home. You should not
expose the bristles to leather - use only
the brush with the terry cloth towel
attached. For detailing the wheels, use
the concentrator and the detail brush.
Exterior windows are cleaned best by
applying the vapor with the concentrator
and following with a paper towel.
To clean bicycles, use the detail brush.
To clean equipment, use the detail
brush, depending on the surface area.
Finish by wiping down with a towel.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded-
type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an
electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.
concentrator to simply blow off dirt into
the garbage can. When cleaning the
detail brush, use a pair of pliers to hold
and blow dirt as above or place in the
basket of your dishwasher.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator without a brush
attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Note: Wipe with a towel immediately
before the cleaned area dries. When
cleaning the oven, use the detail brush
to clean around the elements and drip
trays. Use the detail brush for cracks,
crevices, and hard to reach areas.
CAUTION: Always drain condensed water from hose
before use or if unit has been left idle for a period of time. To
drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink
and depress hand grip steam trigger. Once hose has been
drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle
towards people, animals or plants.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for
removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply
“vaporize” the surface from a distance
(12”-18”) The dry vapor removes
wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet
like ordinary fabric steamers do.
Refrigerator - Use the concentrator to
blow away dirt in the ice machine and
on door seals. The vapor will not dry
out or crack the seals as chemicals
often do. Can openers and other
kitchen equipment can be easily
cleaned with the detail brush to get into
all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains
around door gaskets can be removed
with the detail brush.
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high
temperatures and becomes a light
yellow oil that has the consistency of
sewing machine oil. When the
nicotine/tar film is touched by a hot terry
cloth towel clipped over the floor brush,
it immediately dissolves and flows into
the towel. You can remove it from flat
surfaces as fast as you can move the
brush over the surface.
To clean microwaves or other small
appliances use the detail brush for
small areas.
Note: When cleaning small electrical
appliances always unplug them from
outlet before cleaning.
To clean counter tops, use the floor
brush with a terry cloth towel attached.
For heavily soiled areas, use the brush
without the terry cloth towel first in order
to loosen the debris, then follow with a
terry cloth towel attached to finish.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the
surface of materials and can be easily
and quickly removed by “blowing”
excess material away from the surface
from the side. This is accomplished by
using the concentrator. Hold the terry
cloth towel to the side to catch the loose
residue as it is blown by the
concentrator. Note: Always vacuum
any loose residue off the surface before
you apply vapor to it.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PORTABLE STEAM
CLEANER w/CADDY
TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the floor brush or detail 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.
Use the concentrator with or without the
detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled
area, allowing the steam to penetrate.
Agitate with detail brush or clean towel.
Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub).
Repeat as necessary to remove stain.
Vacuum only after the carpet has
completely dried.
Always test color fastness of carpet in an
inconspicuous area before cleaning.
If your portable steam cleaner fails to
remove stubborn stains a commercially
available carpet shampoo may be
required.
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.
Do NOT add 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.
Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop
a hard surface from waterborne minerals.
If this is the case, use the floor brush with
no towel first to break up this surface - or
spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or
seltzer soda water to soften the minerals.
Moving too slowly can dry out the soap
scum and cause it to granulate on the
surface. The surface will have a gritty
feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the
surface with the open brush again and
re-clean.
Upholstery
Use the floor brush attached directly to
the hand grip with a clean white terry
cloth towel. Use fast, light strokes, avoid
getting the fabric wet. Be patient with
stubborn spots; work on a spot gently for
no more than a minute at a time, then
wait five minutes for the area to dry and
repeat. Use circular movements or back-
and-forth and side-to-side movements to
get all sides of surface fibers then blot
with a towel. Finish with a brushing in
one direction that will give the fabric a
uniform appearance.
Garden Furniture
Use any of the brushes depending on the
surface area. Work quickly when
cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by
wiping with a towel
CAUTION: Always determine
the color-fastness of any fabric-
Blinds
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.
Use the detail brush to clean blinds.
Move the brush over the surface,
allowing enough time for the vapor to
penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds.
Test for color fastness on fabric blinds
before using. Finish by wiping with a
towel.

Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
•
Use tap water for all your cleaning
4. Heavy-duty crush-resistant
hose.
1. No more detergents or
chemicals. Just add water.
Use the floor brush with a terry cloth
attached. Move the brush across the
floor as if you are mopping. When the
towel is soiled, allow to cool, then turn
the towel over or replace it with a clean
towel. If you are working on a very dirty
area, you can move the brush over the
area slowly, several times. If it is a
wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or
moisture buildup in the wood. By
needs.
•
However, if you live in an area with
hard water, use de-mineralized /
distilled 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.
cleaning with the towel over the brush,
you will not affect the shine on the floor.
To Strip Wax: Use floor brush for open
areas; detail brush for corners or tight
areas - no towel, slow strokes. Work a
small area at a time - remove the
emulsified wax from the floor. When all
of the wax has been stripped,
immediately clean the floor and brushes
with water before residue has a chance
to harden on them. Go back over the
stripped area with the floor brush with a
towel to remove any remaining residue
before waxing.
5. Versatile, quick-change
accessories
2. Lightweight & Portable
WARNING: A towel wrapped
around the brush can become hot
enough to burn. Make sure that you let
the towel cool off for 5 minutes before
touching it.
Using Towels
•
For best results use 100% cotton
white terry cloth towels.
•
Use correct size of towel to allow you
to wrap the towel around the brushes
and clip it under the spring loaded
cloth holder.
To Clean Waxed Floors: Wrap clean
towel around the floor brush, brush
quickly. This will cause the dirt to be
removed but not the wax.
•
The purpose of using a towel is to
absorb moisture and dirt being
removed. Always use dry towels.
A wet towel will smear the dirt.
Wash towels with strong detergent
and bleach.
Using scented fabric softener while
washing the towels will cause the
scent to be released into the air
when using the towels with your
steam system.
6. Indoor and Outdoor Use:
Bathrooms, kitchens, living
areas, pet areas and
appliances.
3. Stainless Steel Boiler:
Non-corroding, stainless
steel boiler. Welded
construction.
•
•
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to
buildup in any kind of vinyl, since it can
soften it enough to affect its texture.
Work fast on vinyl.
Automotive, patio and
windows.
Tile Floors: Use the concentrator with
the detail brush attached to an
extension. Have the floor brush with
cloth attached ready as well. Clean the
grout between the tiles with the detail
brush. Remove the detail brush and
attach the floor brush, move the brush
across the floor to clean the tile and
remove excess moisture and residue.
For areas of tile that are very dirty,
remove the towel and agitate with the
brush. Do not let the area dry before
you wipe with a towel.
Efficient Work
•
For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
towel from the top down, in this
way the dirty water will not soil
surfaces already cleaned.
•
•
•
Avoid changing brushes back and
forth while cleaning.
Start with the smallest brush to
clean tight spots and corners first.
Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as
possible, otherwise it will dry and
re-adhere to the surface.
