SMALL SPILL PICK-UPS

Small spills are typical household events. When liquid is accidentally spilled within the home, the liquid usually spreads out quickly into a wide area in a thin sheet.

In such cases, the ORECK STEEMER can be a fast and easy tool to assist in most types of spill pick-ups.

Several key precautions must be followed to insure operator safety:

1.Always test and reset the STEEMER A.L.C.I. plug.

2.Do not immerse the power nozzle of the ORECK STEEMER.

3.Do not allow the lower recovery tank to overfill.

4.Do not pick up corrosive, combustible, or flammable liquids such as acids, gasoline, alcohol, or use this product in areas where vapors from these types of materials are present.

5.Do not use to clean out bathtubs, flooded basements or any place where the liquid depth exceeds 1⁄8”.
