GVC-2200-V Operation & Maintenance Manual

1. Introduction

Goodway’s Vapor-Steam Cleaner (GVC-2200-V) is a self-contained high temperature dry

vapor steam cleaning system designed for a wide variety of commercial and industrial
cleaning applications. It is intended primarily for the removal of dirt, grime, grease, mold,
mildew and bacteria. The combination of high temperature/dry vapor steam action, specially
developed cleanser and professional cleaning tools have proven highly effective and efficient
for most cleaning applications.

Use steam only, or with GVC-500 cleanser -

For most applications, steam alone should be sufficient. Only where the dirt is unusually
heavy and/or compacted, such as with hardened or compacted grease, is usage of our
universal cleanser GVC-500 really necessary.

2.4 Safety Regulations

2.4.1 Usage – The Goodway’s Vapor-Steam Cleaner must be used only for its

designated purpose: a steam generator with cleaning accessories. The
Vacuum must not

be used for any other purposes other than those described
in this manual; i.e. it is not designed to pick up general dirt. Goodway
Technologies Corp.. will not be held liable for any damages caused from
improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.

2.4.2 Power Supply - Before connecting GVC-2200-V, check that the data on the
voltage rating plate are the same as the main electrical supply. The rating plate
is found at the rear of the GVC-2200-V. Goodway’s Vapor-Steam Cleaner
MUST BE GROUNDED. Use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for
additional safety is strongly recommended.

2.4.3 The following rules must

be observed when using the GVC-2200-V:

 never use barefooted, or in wet conditions,
 never use power supply extension cables without appropriate safety marks

(UC, CSA, etc.),

 always check daily before use that the power supply cable, plug and sockets

(including any extension cables) are in good condition; check for visible
signs of damage (and do not use if damaged or faulty).

 never pull at the power supply cable, and never allow it to rub against sharp

edges, or get caught between doors or drawers; protect the cable from heat,
stress and moisture, and route away from paths/work areas.

 never allow children or inexperienced, untrained, or unauthorized persons

access to the GVC-2200-V,

 never leave unattended when in use,
 never leave it unprotected from adverse weather conditions (rain, ice, etc.),
 never allow any part of to be immersed in liquid,
 always ensure the GVC-2200-V is kept upright, even when not powered on,
 never top up the water in the canister without following the recommended

procedures,

 never empty the recovery tank without following the recommended

procedure.

2.4.4 Use only authorized parts, components and accessories with this appliance
obtainable through Goodway Technologies Corp.

2.4.6 The steam temperature can reach 290°F at the outlet, so never point the steam
in your direction, at other people or animals, as this presents a real danger of

scalding.

2.4.7 In the event of breakdown or malfunction, switch off the GVC-2200-V and refer

to Section 11 “Fault Diagnosis” and Section 8 “Maintenance” sections.
Contact an authorized service technician for repairs. Any unauthorized
tampering with the GVC-2200-V voids the warranty.

2.4.8 Electrical appliances and fittings (TV, radio, lights, etc.) should never be
cleaned with steam, even when not connected to a power supply.

2.4.9 Where the application of detergent is required, use only our specialized
cleanser GVC-500 in the black top cleanser canister. Likewise, do not put any
other detergents or other chemical substances (especially perfumed) in the
canister, as noxious gases may occur due to the high temperature. GVC-500 is
specially formulated for use in combination with high temperature dry vapor
steam.

2.4.10 The main ‘on/off’ and both pistol-grip switches must be off (‘O’)

when

connecting the steam/vacuum hose to the GVC-2200-V.

2.4.11 Ensure that accessories are locked securely onto the pistol-grip, by pulling both
parts against each other. They must be firmly fixed.

2.4.12 Exercise care when accessing internal components. For instance, steam­associated components (e.g. drain screw) get extremely hot

during operation

and cool down very slowly after use

.

2.4.13 Do not use on or near heat sensitive materials;

this can damage such

materials!

2.4.14 If you are unsure whether the material you want to clean is suitable for steam
cleaning, check first with a trial application on a small unobtrusive piece of the
same material.

2.4.15 Do not use the small round metal brush on polished or scratch-sensitive
materials.

2.4.16 Use only on internal glass surfaces that are heat resistant. Exercise utmost
care when cleaning glass surfaces in low temperatures; gently pre-heat

the

glass with steam beforehand to reduce the possibility of damage and injury.

2.4.17 The GVC-2200-V must never be immersed in water

. Failure to comply with

this warning will endanger life.

2.4.18 Always store the GVC-2200-V in a safe, dry and frost-free

place. Exercise

care when storing directly after use as residual heat remains for some time.

Goodway Technologies Corp.. accepts no liability for loss, injury or damage caused by

improper use.
