Application Tips for Steam Cleaner Usage

Steam Cleaning Guidelines:
Please refer to WhiteWing owner's manual for more extensive application instructions.

1.	Optimal Steam Volume: The line marker between medium and high steam volume next to the steam dial is best for most applications.	6.	Tough cleaning problems: Pre-spot or spray towel with natural cleaner. Cleaning power of any cleaning fluid is magnified by steam.
2.	Towels: Have plenty on hand. Double or triple towel layers to reduce water residue.	7.	Bleed off steam into a towel for cooler water between each tool change or rest breaks.
3.	Wipe up released dirt fast with a towel before it sets back into the fabric or other surfaces.	8.	When steam volume drops, release handle for a few seconds and pressure will come back up to target zone on pressure gauge.
4.	Move fast when cleaning especially delicate fabrics so as not to overheat.	9.	Distilled water is recommended for use with the steam cleaner, especially for those with hard or high mineral content water. Otherwise use clean, clear drinkable water.
5.	Pretest small areas on fabric for color fastness.	10.	Do not put cleaning fluids into the tank as it invalidates the warranty.
		11.	Empty the machine of water after each cleaning session.
