• When using the steam cleaner, please note
that the force and the heat of the steam may
damage certain surfaces or textiles. Always
test on a small, concealed area of the
material that you are steam cleaning. i.e.
painted wood or leather can be bleached
with hot steam; glossy plastic can be dulled,
fabrics such as acrylic, velvet and linen can
react sensitively to the temperature of the
steam.
•Do nothold the steam jet concentrated for
too long on a single spot.
•Do notpull cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.

When using your Canister Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should
always be observed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using your
Canister Steam Cleaner.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,
do not immerse any part of the system in

Let the system cool completely before
putting away or before opening the water
tank (removing the safety cap) . Wrap
power cord loosely around your system
when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling or emptying water tank
and when not in use. Always turn the safety
cap slowly when opening the water tank.
This will allow any remaining steam to
escape gradually.
7. Do notoperate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the Canister Steam Cleaner.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
2
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS1. To avoid circuit overload, do notoperate another appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the steam cleaner.2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, use a 14 gage cordrated at a minimum of 15 amperes. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.3. Do notleave unattende d when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical outlet.WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a grounded, type 3-wire
cord (3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.CAUTION: Always drain condensed water from hose before use or if
unit has been left idle for a period of time. To drain hose, direct nozzle into an appropriate container or sink and depress hand grip steam switch. Once hose has been drained, normal use may be resumed. Never direct nozzle towards people, animals or plants. IMPORTANT: Do NOTadd cleaning so lutions, 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.WARNING:Your Steam Cleaner is designed to clean hard surfaces and
upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft plastics and cold glass. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Do not use on unsealed wood. This could cause the wood grain to rise. It is therefore recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.WARNING: Danger of Scalding. Please use caution when using the
steam cleaner. The steam emitted from this aperture is very hot.
