IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
General Warnings
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS STEAM CLEANER
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not leave the steam cleaner unattended when plugged in. Unplug it from
the socket when not in use.
• To prevent electric shock do not use outdoors.
• Not to be used as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
• Use only as directed in this manual.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return
it to a service center or call customer service at:
USA: 1-800-989-3535 Canada: 1-888-676-7325
• Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, allow the cord to
come into contact with hot or sharp surfaces or close a door on the cord.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
• Do not handle the plug or cleaner with wet hands.
• Do not put any objects into openings or operate with openings blocked.
• Do not use without the tank cap in place.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Store indoors, put away after use to prevent tripping accidents.
• Using improper voltage may result in damage to the steam cleaner and
possible injury to the user. The correct voltage is listed on the rating label.
• This steam cleaner is intended for household use only.
• A hazard may occur if the steam cleaner runs over the power cord.
• Never immerse the steam cleaner in water or other liquids.
• The steam cleaner is not suitable for outdoor use.
• Do not operate the steam cleaner without water in the tank.
• Empty the water tank when the steam cleaner is not in use.
• Do not fill the water tank with anything other than water or Oreck Fresh Air
®
Steam Mop Essence. Never put additives (such as perfume, stain remover or
products containing alcohol) in the water as they may damage the steam
cleaner or make it dangerous to use.
• Always remove the power cord from the outlet and handle the steam cleaner
with care when filling with water.
• Do not overfill the tank. Do not exceed the maximum prescribed filling level.
Please use the funnel included.
Safety
E
N G L I S H
• Ensure that the water tank’s closure cap has been screwed down fully before use.
• Do not touch any hot areas on the steam cleaner. It is normal for the steam
cleaner to heat up during operation.
• Do not use the steam cleaner to treat any item of clothing while being worn on
the body.
• The force and heat of the steam may have an adverse effect on some materials.
Always test the steamer on a small concealed area to determine if it is
suitable for treatment with the steam cleaner.
• Never aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk of scalding!)
Do not aim the steam cleaner at electrical systems or wires.
• Accessories become hot during use - allow them to cool down before handling.
• Do not use the steam cleaner directly overhead.
• Not for use on fine silks, velour, very thin plastics, unsealed hardwood,
laminates, engineered hard floor surfaces, ceilings, drywall and exterior paint
of automobiles, electronics or items using electricity.
• WARNING: Product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defect or other repoductive harm.
NOTE: Be sure to test in a hidden area prior to use.
IMPORTANT! This steam cleaner is equipped with a steam release valve
mechanism, located at the rear of the steam generator. In the event of a
steam flow blockage, the safety valve is designed to release the steam.
Regular cleaning of the steam chamber and nozzle is therefore recommended to avoid such an occurrence. If the steam is released from the safety
valve, stop cleaning and unplug the steam cleaner from the electrical outlet.
Allow the steam cleaner to cool down thoroughly for at least one hour. After
this time, clean the steam chamber and nozzle.
If steam is still being released from the safety valve after cleaning, contact a
service center.

moisture, use the reverse side or replace with a clean, dry cloth.
To Sanatize Hard Floor Surfaces:
• Allow unit to heat for one minute.
• Set steam regulator to “HIGH”.
• Use short scrubbing motions on hard floor area for at least 5 seconds.

Operation
Squeegee
For cleaning glass and mirror panels. Use the squeegee at a
very low steam flow. Achieve this by adjusting the steam regulator. A cloth can be used to wipe the blade and remove excess
water during usage when cool. For small window panels,
remove the squeegee tool and spray the steam directly onto the
surface. Use the squeegee separately to wipe away the moisture.
Spot Brush
For cleaning the grout between tiles or stubborn marks and
stains on hard surfaces. Use at medium or high steam flow.
Utility Tool
For cleaning tiled surfaces, cabinets and
countertops in kitchens and bathrooms.
Use on a low to medium steam flow.
Cover the utility tool with the elasticised
cloth.
Deflector Nozzle
For cleaning sanitary ware such as toilet bowls, taps or
drain covers. Use this nozzle at maximum steam flow. Point it
directly at stains on carpets or upholstery while holding a
clean cloth near the stained area to capture any loosened dirt.

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.
Empty any remaining water from the tank by unscrewing the cap and
turning the steam cleaner upside down over a sink or outdoors. If
needed store the steam cleaner by using the hanging strap at the top
of the handle.
Cleaning the Steam Generator
IMPORTANT! Only follow these instructions when the steam cleaner is completely cooled down. Also ensure that the plug is removed
from the electrical outlet.
1. Pull down the nozzle lock and twist the
steam nozzle first, before pulling the nozzle
out of the steam chamber completely.
2. Insert the nozzle brush into the chamber
and rotate the brush while pulling in and out
of the chamber.
3. 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 (140˚F 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.
