WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
•To prevent shock, do not use outdoors. The steam cleaner is intended for household use only.
•Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary position for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in operation.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•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: US: 1-800-989-3535
Canada: 1-888-676-7325.
•Do not pull or carry by the power cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on the power cord, or pull the power cord around sharp edges or corners.
•Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
•Do not run the steam cleaner over the power cord.
•Do not unplug by pulling on the power cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power cord.
•Do not use an extension cord.
•Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging. Always remove the power cord from the outlet and handle the steam cleaner with care when filling the water tank with water.

•Do not use without the water tank cap in place. Check that the water tank cap is completely screwed down before use.
•Do not operate without water in the water tank.
•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.
•Empty the water tank when the steam cleaner is not in use.
•Do not touch any hot areas on the steam cleaner. It is normal for the steam cleaner to heat up during operation.
•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.
•Accessories become hot during use. Allow them to cool down before handling them.
•Never point or aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or plants (risk of scalding!). Do not aim the steam cleaner at electrical systems or wires.
•Connecting the steam cleaner to improper voltage may result in damage to the steam cleaner and possible injury. Always plug the steam cleaner into a power outlet with the correct voltage. See the rating label on the unit for the correct voltage.
