Getting Started with the TS3 Edge Steam CleanerUpdated an hour ago

How great that you're the owner of the TS3 Edge Steam Cleaner! With this powerful and fast steam cleaner at home, cleaning becomes much easier and more fun. Follow these simple steps to get off to a good start and become a real Steam Expert. Don't forget to always read the full manual before use.

Ready to start?

Let's prepare the steam cleaner for use!

1. Connect the hose: Make sure the steam cleaner is off and the plug is not yet in the socket. Then connect the coupling hose to the front of the device and tighten the locking knob firmly. Always check that the hose is properly attached before continuing.
2. Fill the steam cleaner: Unscrew the water tank cap and fill the TS3 with a maximum of 2500 ml of clean water. Preferably use demineralised or distilled water. This reduces the chance of limescale buildup and keeps your steam cleaner in good condition longer. Then tighten the cap firmly back onto the water tank.

The TS3 can be refilled during use, so you can keep cleaning without interruptions.
3. Choose your accessory: Attach the accessory you want to use. Never use the steam cleaner without an accessory, as the pressure will drop and steaming becomes less effective.
4. Let the steam cleaner heat up: Plug it in and press the power button. The TS3 heats up quickly. Wait about 1 minute, until the display shows at least 100°C. After that you can start steaming.

Warning: Always use the included heat-resistant glove when operating the steam gun and when disconnecting the hose.

Start steaming!

Now that the steam cleaner has heated up, the real work can begin. Let's start with an easy surface: the countertop.

1. First spray out the condensation water: Point the steam gun towards the sink first and press the trigger briefly. This sprays out any excess condensation water from the hose. This is important because otherwise you could get too much moisture on the surface or your cloth.
2. Use the triangle brush or white microfiber cloth: For a flat surface like the countertop you can use the triangle brush. Is the surface scratch-sensitive, such as an induction plate or range hood? Then rather use the white microfiber cloth. When in doubt, always test first on a small, inconspicuous spot.
3. Steam the surface gently clean: Move the steam cleaner slowly across the surface. Pay extra attention to spots with grease, sauce residue or caked-on dirt. Always keep moving though and don't keep the steam on one spot for too long.
4. Clean edges and seams with the jet nozzle or nylon brush: Use the jet nozzle or a nylon brush for edges, seams, the rim of the sink and the area around the tap. This lets you clean more precisely where dirt tends to build up.
5. Wipe the surface dry: After steaming, wipe the surface clean and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Steam loosens dirt, but the loosened dirt still needs to be wiped away.

Your countertop doesn't just look clean, it's also hygienically cleaned by the hot steam, without chemical agents.

Which steam setting do you use?

The TS3 has a wet and a dry steam setting. This way you can better tailor the steam to what you're going to clean.

Setting	When do you use this setting?
Wet steam	Use this setting for thorough cleaning, for example with dirty grout or stubborn dirt. This setting releases more moisture.
Dry steam	Use this setting when you want less moisture, for example with floors, mattresses, sofas or more delicate surfaces. This setting is also handy when you mainly want to disinfect.

Does it say HOLD on the display? Don't worry. This means the heating temporarily pauses when you don't press the trigger. As soon as you press the trigger again, the TS3 continues steaming and the temperature is displayed again.

Important to remember

Spray excess water out first Before you start steaming, it's important to briefly spray into the sink first. This removes condensation water from the hose and prevents your cloth or surface from getting too wet.
Keep moving Never hold the steam nozzle or mop nozzle still on one spot for too long. By moving calmly, you prevent a surface from getting too much heat or moisture.
Wipe immediately Steam loosens dirt, but you still need to wipe it away. Use a clean cloth to absorb loosened dirt and condensation moisture immediately. This prevents streaks or damp spots.
Test on a small spot first Not entirely sure if a surface is suitable for steam? Then always test first on a small, inconspicuous spot and check the maintenance instructions for the material.
Don't use cleaning agents in the water tank Only fill the TS3 with water. Don't add cleaning agents, fragrance products or chemicals to the water tank.

Done steaming?

Take good care of your steam cleaner, and it'll take good care of you! With a little love and the right maintenance you keep it in top shape.

Let the steam escape safely Unplug the device. Then point the steam gun towards the sink or a bathtub and press the steam button until no more steam comes out.
Empty the water tank Unscrew the tank cap and pour the remaining water out of the tank. Always empty the steam cleaner after use. This prevents standing water, unpleasant odours and limescale buildup.
Let the device dry Let the TS3 air and dry briefly before screwing the cap back on. Then store the device and accessories dry.
Descale monthly Just like your coffee machine, your steam cleaner doesn't like limescale. To keep the steam power good and prevent limescale buildup, it's important to descale the TS3 monthly with the official Techweise descaler.
