Grounding I

nstructions

This steam generator must be grounded. This steamer is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must

be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the

outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal

120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated the figure to the

right. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

No adaptor should be used with this appliance.

Uncrating & Assembly Instructions

Shift the large handle for transport back, toward the rear of the appliance (fig. 1). Lock the handle with

the two hand knobs. Lock by turning clockwise (fig. 2). Then use the two spring loaded adjustable,

locking levers to firmly lock the handle in place (fig. 3).

Caution: Before using your steamer, lock the rear wheels in place as shown in figure 4 below. This adds

stability and makes the machine steer easily when transporting in a straight pathway. The rear wheels

can be unlocked when working in a small area, allowing the steamer to “crab steer” for maximum

maneuverability.

Quick Start Guide

To begin operating the steamer:

1. Open the water reservoir cap shown in figure 5. Fill the water tank with clean cold tap water. Do not

use deionized water or the steamer will not create steam. Close the water tank by re-installing the

cap.

2. If desired, add detergent to the chemical dispensing tank shown in figure 5.

If using detergents to clean, it is your responsibility to ensure the manufacturer of the

chemical warrants it for use in dry vapor steam generators. DO NOT use chemicals that are

not approved for use in a steam generator

→ NEVER put detergent in the water reservoir. This can result in serious damage to the unit ←

3. Insert the hose connector into the steamers steam port as shown below (fig. 8) by pressing the plug

into the port until button (A) clicks. Check that the connector is firmly positioned by gently pulling

backward on it to ensure it is locked in place.

4. Plug the unit in and turn on the main power switch (fig. 9)

5. Turn on the boiler and wait until boiler icon quits blinking and the unit comes up to temperature

(approximately 170°C/330°F) before beginning operations (fig.10)

6. Attach the desired tool to the control handle. Press steam button in handle to dispense steam

(fig. 11). To adjust steam output level, press steam adjustment button (fig 12).

7. If you desire to use detergent in the cleaning process, push the detergent button on the control

panel (fig. 10) and the detergent injection button on the operator handle (fig. 12). Adjustment

to the amount of chemical being dispensed can be done by turning the dial on the front of the

machine (fig. 13) towards the + for more and – for less chemical

8. When you have finished cleaning the machine, turn off the boiler (see fig. 10) and then turn off

the main power switch (fig. 9)

General Operator Maintenance

→ ALWAYS disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance on the unit ←

Daily Maintenance

To clean the exterior of the steamer, use a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaning agents; these

may harm the plastic surfaces and labeling. Clean the exterior of the unit after each use.

Check and clean the water and detergent filters at the end of every use (Fig 14).

At the end of every operation day, check the boiler maintenance icon on the control panel (fig 5.). If

the unit needs service, the indicator will say “Clean”. If the indicator is on, reference the parts and

operations manual (separate publication) for complete instructions on how to descale the boiler

without the need for tools or service personnel.

Weekly Maintenance

Once per week, check the hose end plug seals that attach to the machine. If necessary replace with

the spare seals. Inspect the connection seals (O-ring type) where the extension wands connect

together and where the extension wands and operators handle meet.

Steamer & Tool Use

Filling water and Detergent Tanks

To fill the unit with water, open the cap and fill the water tank (fig. 5) with cold tap water. Use a

funnel or other suitable device if necessary. Re-install the reservoir cap when finished

Note: The hardness of the water should be less than 17.5 grains of hardness (CaCO

₃/gal.). If the

water supply hardness is higher than this level, we recommend use of a mixture of water containing

50% tap water and 50% demineralized water.

To fill the detergent tank (fig. 5), follow the same procedure as above for filling water

PLEASE NOTE: THE CLEAN WATER RESERVOIR MUST ALWAYS BE FILLED WITH WATER - NEVER

ADD DETGERGENT IN THE WATER RESERVOIR. Use of a detergent in the water tank may seriously

damage the product. If a funnel is used to fill the detergent tank, rinse the funnel under running

water before using it to fill the water tank.

Detergent

Only use steam rated detergents (as defined by the detergent manufacturer). Refer to the label and

instructions provided on the detergent container for dilutions and directions for the use in steamers.

PLEASE NOTE: Never use foaming or acid-based cleaning agents. These agents may damage the

internal components of the machine. Never use muriatic acid or ammonia-based cleaning agents or

cleaning agents based on products classed as irritants. Use with steam increases the volatility of

such substances, which are harmful when inhaled.

Any warranty claims that result from the use of detergents not conforming to the above indications

will be rejected and the warranty voided.

Ver. 3/13

Attachment of Steam Hose

Insert the hose connector into the steamers vacuum-steam port as shown (fig. 8) by pressing the

plug into the port until button clicks. Check that the connector is firmly positioned by gently pulling

backward on it to ensure it is locked in place. Ensure that the hose is firmly connected to the

machine! To disconnect the hose from the steamer, press the connector button “A” (fig. 8) and pull

to separate it from the steamer

Machine Steam Function

Turn the main power switch on (fig. 9) to activate the display. Press button to turn on the boiler (fig.

10). The steam icon (fig.10) on the display will blink. When the steam icon stops blinking (about 10-

12 minutes) the steamer is ready to generate steam.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not begin dispensing steam if the steam icon is blinking when first turned on. Wait

until the icon has switched to non-blinking mode and the system is ready to use.

Press the steam demand button (fig. 11) on the handle to start dispensing. Press the steam volume

adjustment button located on the top of the handle (fig.12) to vary the flow of steam. There are

three steam-flow settings as indicated by the LCD display (fig.10)

Some drops of liquid water may form when the steamer is first used. This is from condensation

within the sleeve. Aim the first steam jet toward a piece of cloth to catch the liquid until the jet

becomes uniformly steam.

Steam/detergent function

Press detergent button on the control panel (fig. 10). The detergent icon on the display will start to

blink. The machine is now ready to dispense detergent on demand.

To dispense detergent, press the detergent on/off button on the operators handle (fig.12). This

enables the pump to deliver the detergent solution when the on demand steam button is activated

(fig. 11).

The unit will continue to dispense detergent until it is turned off. To turn-off the detergent function,

press the on/off button once. The icon will flash to indicate this function is now disabled. To turn off

the detergent function completely, press the red button on the control panel once (fig.10).

No water

When there is no water in the water reservoir the no water icon on the display (fig. 10) begins to

blink, along with an audible alarm. To refill the tanks, follow the “filling water and detergent tanks”

instructions above.
