Steam Buggy Operating Instructions
A Steam Buggy is a home steam cleaner that you use to clean a variety of surfaces, such as your stovetop, oven, upholstery, carpets, floors, windows and mirrors. The Steam Buggy uses attachments such as a Squeegee and a brush.
It also has an extension wand to help reach ceiling fans and heating and air conditioning ducts. Besides cleaning your home, the Steam Buggy also steams wrinkles out of your clothing and drapes.
Warning
Do not disconnect the steam control handle or iron when steam is being released. Wait five minutes until steam stops before disconnecting or changing attachments.
Home
-
Unplug the Steam Buggy’s power cord if it is not already unplugged from the electrical outlet. Pour warm tap water into a measuring cup (which is included) up to the fill line. Remove the reservoir cap,and pour the water into the Steam Buggy’s reservoir. Replace the reservoir cap.
-
Press the power switch to the “Off” position if it is not already set to “Off,” and then plug in the power cord into an electrical outlet.
-
Lift up the door on the front of the Steam Buggy, and insert one end of the steam hose nozzle, pushing it in until it is secure. You can use the nozzle by itself to direct steam to places you want to clean, or add an extension tube and an attachment.
-
Insert one end of an extension tube into the steam hose nozzle. Line up the hole on the attachment you want to use with the protruding button on the extension tube until it locks in place. The attachments are a Squeegee, scrub brush tip, upholstery and floor brush, clothing steamer and two extension tubes.
-
Press the power switch to the “On” position to turn on the Steam Buggy. Wait about one minute for it to warm up, then squeeze the steam trigger on the handle.
