Setup Instructions
- Unplug and Prepare: Ensure the steam cleaner is unplugged from any power source and has cooled down if previously used.
- Fill Water Tank: Unscrew the water tank cap and carefully fill the 220ml detachable tank with clean tap water. For best results and to prevent mineral buildup, distilled or demineralized water is recommended. Do not overfill.

- Attach Accessory: Select the appropriate cleaning accessory (e.g., grout brush, window tool) for your task and securely attach it to the nozzle.
- Power On: Plug the steam cleaner into a suitable electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up. Wait for the light to indicate readiness before use (Info needed: [How does the indicator light signal readiness?]).
