Tips On How To Use Your System
Water
•Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.
•However, if you live in an area with hard water, use demineralized/distilled
water when steaming light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance. Use regular water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in your area is very hard.
How Vapor Works: Vapor is a form of water that is superheated to create steam with no chemicals. This steam will clean and disinfect most surfaces, while deodorizing. The heat will loosen the connection of dirt and stains to surfaces. Steam vapor will break through the pores of the objects cleaned and destroys mold spores, bacteria, viruses and germs of all kinds. This is the single most successful technique of sanitizing known. Heat is the #1 germ killer. Steam is used to sterilize and disinfect.
Temperature
•The vapor temperature at the tip of the nozzle is between 220°F and 240°F.
•The temperature of the vapor falls to 100°F at a distance of 10 inches from the nozzle. Thus your best working vapor is that, which is closest to the nozzle.
Warning: A towel wrapped around the brush can become hot enough to burn. Make sure that you let the towel cool off before touching it.
Using Towels
•For best results use the Oreck 100% cotton White Terry Cloth Towels.
•Use correct size of towel to wrap around the brushes and clip it under the spring loaded cloth holder clip.
•The purpose of using a towel is to absorb moisture and dirt being cleaned. Always use dry towels. A wet towel will smear the dirt.
•Towels are washing machine safe. Bleach can be used.
•Using scented fabric softener while washing the towels will cause the scent to be released into the air when using the towels with your Vapor Cleaner.
Efficient Work
•Always wipe from the top down. This will prevent dirty drops from falling on clean surfaces.
•Avoid changing brushes back and forth while cleaning.
•Start with the smallest brush to clean tight spots and corners first.
•Once the unit dislodges and dissolves dirt, wipe as soon as possible, while wet, otherwise it will dry and may adhere to the surface.
