Polarized Plug Notice
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the purpose of the polarized plug.

Water and cleaning solution
is not dispensing onto carpet
or upholstery.
Not removing certain stains.
Heavy traffic area spots.
Carpet is excessively wet after
cleaning.
Note: Under normal
conditions, a carpet may take
up to four hours or longer to
completely dry. Drying time
depends on a combination of
various factors including:
carpet type, carpet pile
thickness, temperature,
humidity, air circulation and
the number of wet passes.
Excessive foaming at spray tips.
Dark streaks on carpet after
cleaning.
STEEMER brush roll will
not turn.
Cleaner will not run or
suddenly stops.
• Check that the upper supply tank is partially
filled with lukewarm water. Caution: Do not
overfill.
• Check that a cleaner cartridge is installed and
that the white lever is locked in the downward
position. Due to pressurization, the cleaner will
not properly operate without a cleaner
cartridge in place. If the cleaner cartridge is
empty, replace it with a full cartridge.
• Check that the spray tips are not clogged. Use a
towel or damp cloth to clean.
• For above-the-floor cleaning, check that the
hand-held nozzle and hose assembly is properly
connected to the cleaner neck. Also insure that
the button lock has been engaged.
• For best results, use a stain pretreatment, such
as STEEMER Full Release™ Professional Spot &
Stain PreCleaner. These solutions loosen and
break down most common household grease,
oil, and food stains.
• Make several slow passes over the stain from
different angles.
• Make at least one additional pass over the wet
carpet without pressing the cleaner button.
• Check that the handle trigger lock is not
engaged.
•With each pass, slowly pull the unit toward you
to extract any remaining liquid in the carpet. To
speed drying, gently push the nozzle deep into
the carpet pile.
• Check for airpath obstructions in the
stair/upholstery hose, cleaner neck and in the
nozzle. Check to insure that the inlet screen is
free of debris.
• Check that the upper supply tank has water.
• Operate the machine more slowly; you will
achieve better results with one slow pass than
several fast strokes.
• Overlap each pass to provide maximum
cleaning without streaking.
• In high traffic or heavily soiled carpets, it is
occasionally beneficial to allow the carpet to dry
and repeat the process as needed to achieve
optimal cleaning.
• Check that the STEEMER power cord is
completely connected to the main unit.
• If an obstruction stalls the brush roll, the belt is
designed to burn through so as to protect the
motor. Please insure through inspection that the
brush roll is free of obstructions and is free to
turn. Secondly, make sure that the belt is in
good working order. Replace the belt if needed.
• If the belt and the brush roll become
excessively wet, momentary slippage can occur.
By running the unit on a dry section of carpet
for a minute or less, the belt will function
properly.
• Reinsert the plug, if it has slipped out of the outlet.
•The A.L.C.I. may have tripped off due to
fluctuations in household current. Press the reset
button and restart the unit.
