  Some gurgling is normal during steaming with your Steamfast Steam Cleaner. However, if you experience excessive gurgling or water dripping from the steam nozzle, point the steam nozzle downward and shake it thoroughly to remove any excess water droplets that have accumulated inside the steam nozzle or hose. Mineral build-up in the unit can also cause this issue. Refer to Care & Maintenance section on Page 12 for details.

  If your Steamfast Steam Cleaner isn't heating up and the On/Off switch light isn't on, first ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. If it is, check your household circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter and reset it if necessary, or replace the fuse. If problems persist, unplug the unit immediately and stop using it, because it may be damaged and require professional assistance.

  If your Steamfast Steam Cleaner is not heating up, but the On/Off switch light is illuminated, the unit may not have enough water.

If neither of these steps resolves the issue, the unit might be damaged. Immediately stop using it and unplug it.

  The weak or intermittent steam output could be due to a low water level in the Water Reservoir. Refill the unit with water. It could also be caused by mineral build-up in the unit, so you should clean the unit to remove mineral build-up.

  If the Steamfast Kitchen Appliances unit fails to heat up, but the On/Off switch illuminates, there might be no water in the unit, so you should fill the unit with water. Another cause may be mineral build-up in the unit. In this case, clean the unit to remove mineral build-up. If neither of these solutions work, the unit may be damaged, so you should immediately cease usage, unplug it, and contact Consumer Service for assistance.
