This document describes the Delta Essentials Steam Cleaner, model GT-DR-01, an appliance designed for household cleaning using steam.
Function Description
The Delta Essentials Steam Cleaner is used to remove dust and embedded dirt from various surfaces using water vapor. It is suitable for private use in an enclosed environment and not intended for professional use. The cleaning effect of the device depends on the temperature, pressure, and amount of steam, as well as the distance between the steam jet and the surface being cleaned. The hot steam helps to dissolve dirt without the need for chemicals or detergents, making it suitable for individuals with detergent allergies. It can clean hard-to-reach places that cloths and brushes might miss, leveraging its various accessories. One liter of water can produce approximately 1500 liters of steam, capable of cleaning an area of about 120 m². After steam treatment, surfaces need to be dried with a cloth.

First Set Up and Water Filling:
Before use, all parts should be unpacked and checked for integrity. Accessories are assembled by sliding them onto the appliance and turning clockwise until they click into place. The hose and direct jet nozzle are screwed together. The water tank should only be filled with fresh, clean water (250 ml, about 1.5 beakerfuls) using the funnel, ensuring not to overfill. Distilled water is recommended for hard water areas. The plug must be removed from the wall socket before filling.
Operation:
- Insert the plug into a wall socket. The steam light will switch on, indicating the appliance is warming up.
- The light switches off after a few minutes, signaling readiness for use.
- Activate the steam button to generate a steam jet, keeping the device level to prevent dripping and burns. The steam flow increases with the duration of button usage.
- Initially, direct the appliance onto a fabric until steam comes out without forming water drops.
- Direct the steam onto the area to be cleaned using the selected accessory.
- Release the steam button to stop the steam jet.
Droplets of water are normal, especially after start-up. The light turning on and off during operation indicates steam usage and generation, which does not typically require stopping work.
Safety Precautions:
- Never direct boiling hot steam at people, animals, plants, or delicate objects.
- Keep the device level during operation to avoid dripping and burns.
- Be cautious with glass surfaces due to temperature differences; spray cold surfaces carefully from a distance and heat gradually.
- Ensure the surface to be cleaned is solid, resistant to abrasions, and sturdy, especially when using brushes, to prevent damage.
- Do not open the filling valve while the appliance is functioning.
- Protect forearms from steam.
