After Each Use

NOTE: When you have finished steam cleaning, ensure that both the power switch and steam switch are turned off and that the plug is removed from the electrical outlet.

Let the unit cool and then empty any remaining water from the tank by unscrewing the water tank cap and turning the steam cleaner upside down over a sink or outdoors.

Store the steam cleaner by using the hanging strap at the top of the handle if needed.

Cleaning the Steam Generator

IMPORTANT! Only follow these instructions when the steam clean- er is completely cooled down. Also ensure that the plug is removed from the electrical outlet.

1.Twist the steam nozzle, releasing it from its locked position. Pull upwards; this will remove it completely from the steam chamber.

2.Insert the nozzle brush into the chamber.

3.Rotate the brush while pulling it in and out of the chamber.

4.Insert the steam nozzle back into the chamber and turn it clockwise to lock back into position.

NOTE: Oreck recommends cleaning the chamber at least after every 12 - 15 uses to ensure optimum performance.

Unblocking the Steam Outlet

If steam flow appears reduced, the steam nozzle may be blocked. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool.

1.Insert the nozzle pin into the center of the steam nozzle to clear any blockage that may have formed.

Cleaning the Cloths

Both the floor and utility cloths can be machine washed (60˚C max). For heavy soiling, soak the cloths in warm water and detergent or a mild stain remover. Allow the cloths to dry completely before storing.
