Using Your Portable Steam Pocket - cont’d Care of Your Portable Steam Pocket
GENERATING STEAM
1 Plug the unit in and wait about 30
to 45 seconds then press and hold
the steam trigger to activate the
pump. You will immediately hear
steam generating and begin to see
visible results either from the nozzle
or the attached cleaning tool. It is
recommended that you wait at least
30 seconds before pulling the trigger
as this will minimize water spitting.
2 Once you release the steam trigger,
the pump will stop delivering water to
the boiler and the steam will reduce
to a stop when the boiler becomes
empty.
3 For wedge and cylinder cleaning
pockets, allow the bottle to generate
enough steam to activate the cleaning
fabric. Once you see visible steam
emitting through the fabric, your
cleaning pocket is ready to use. Some
messes, particularly those that are
sticky may require more moisture, so
allow more steam to generate and
exhaust from the cleaning pocket
before cleaning.
CAUTION: Steam is hot and can cause
burns, so please use with caution.
WARNING: Your portable steam
pocket is designed to clean surfaces
that will withstand high heat and
moisture. Do not use on unsealed
wood surfaces (especially wooden
antique furniture), unglazed ceramic
tile, or surfaces that have been
treated with wax, oils, varnishes, or
shellac. The sheen may be removed
by the heat, steam, and friction of
the cleaning tools. Lacquer and
polyurethane coatings provide a
hard durable protective finish that
withstands moisture but it is always
recommended to test an isolated
area of the surface to be cleaned
before proceeding.
We also recommend you check the
use and care instructions from the
surface manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Once plugged in, the
Blue LED will illuminate, and your
Portable Steam Pocket Cleaning
System will be ready to use within 30
seconds.
NOTE: Make sure surfaces are free
of crumbs and debris before using
the portable steam pocket. Large
objects may not be picked up by
the steam pocket and will only be
pushed around.
Caution: This appliance must be
unplugged from electrical outlet and
allowed to cool down before storage
or cleaning.
CLEANING THE NOZZLES
1 Your Portable Steam Pocket should
not normally require cleaning,
however, should you notice a
decrease in the steam output, it may
be necessary to remove mineral
deposits built up around the nozzles.
2 Unplug the cleaner from the
electrical outlet
3 Use the provided nozzle cleaner or a
small diameter stiff metal wire, such
as a straightened metal paperclip,
and carefully insert the end of the
wire into the nozzle orifice. See
illustrations below.
4 Move the wire back and forth several
times to remove any deposits.
5 Plug in the appliance to the power
outlet and test to note steam output.
WARNING: The hose stem becomes
very hot during operation and can
cause burns. Do not operate the
Portable Steam Pocket without
the proper cleaning tools attached
securely as instructed.
STORAGE
1 Let the appliance cool down before
cleaning or storing
2 Empty the water tank after each use
3 Store in a cool dry location
CLEANING THE STEAM BOTTLE
1 A periodic rinse of your steam
cleaner will help free it from normal
water deposits. This is recommended
every 10-15 fillings to free up any
scale deposit. Fill the reservoir with
water and secure the cap. Shake
vigorously for approximately 10-15
times and remove the cap to empty
the reservoir.
Cleaning tip: To prevent clogging, it
is recommended that you periodically
clean the Direct Steam Nozzle and the
extension hose stem with the cleaning
tool provided or a paper clip.
