When you need to direct steam into tight corners, simply attach the 9 inch straight pipe steam head. The heat retaining metal heads are far superior to plastic alternatives because they maintain consistent temperatures when pressed directly into carpet.The machine features a rugged die cast aluminum outer housing and a corrosion proof 304 stainless steel boiler. It relies entirely on clean tap water, ensuring your workspace remains chemical free. The built in sight gauge allows you to monitor your water level quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
1. What is the difference between the Jiffy J-4000 and the J-4000A? The standard J-4000 is designed for garments and features a shorter hose with a plastic head. The J-4000A features an extended 7.5 foot hose and two specialized metal steam heads designed specifically for auto trim and heavy upholstery tasks.
2. Can I use the J-4000A to eliminate bed bugs? While the heat is intense, the manufacturer recommends the J-4000XDM model for true eradication. The J-4000A is optimized for fabric shaping and foam rejuvenation, not targeted pest control.
3. Is it safe to use tap water in the Jiffy J-4000A boiler? Yes. The J-4000A is designed to function perfectly with ordinary tap water. You should never add chemicals to the tank, as this will damage the brass fittings and void the warranty.
4. How do I switch between the two metal steam heads? Use the included assembly wrench to unscrew the current head and securely fasten the new metal attachment. Always ensure the unit is turned off and fully cooled down before attempting to swap attachments.
5. How long does the steamer take to heat up? This model utilizes a dual thermostat system. The one gallon tank warms to standby mode in roughly 15 minutes. Once preheated, turning the dial to the steam setting will produce thick continuous steam in less than two minutes.
