Steam cleaning all living areas

Stubborn soil that resists traditional hot water, cleaning solutions and vigorous scrubbing can often be effectively removed with high temperature steam. Baked-on grease on the stovetop, dried fruit juice in the refrigerator, stubborn soap scum on sliding shower doors, gum on countertops—steam makes all these far easier to clean. Use your Steam Shot to soften and remove stubborn dirt, grime, dry, hardened food, and other household soil from hard surfaces. You can also use your steam cleaner to clean pet cages.*

Note: Always remove pets before cleaning.

Fill with cool tap water or distilled/demineralized water.
Connect the plug to an appropriate outlet.
When red indicator light turns off, the steamer is ready to use. Press trigger to release stream.
Wipe surface with a clean, dry cloth.

CAUTION: Keep face and all exposed skin away from steam. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Thermal shock can shatter glass. Before cleaning cold glass surface, carefully warm the surface by directing the steam jet on the glass from a distance of no less than 4 - 6”.

Fill with cool tap water or distilled/ demineralized water.
Connect plug to an appropriate outlet.
Attach the fabric steamer tool with pad attached.
Press trigger to release steam.
