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.

A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or
more of the following: The words “Double Insulation”
or “Double Insulated” or the double-insulation symbol
( ). In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system and should be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a doubleinsulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
POLARIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the ORECK
STEEMER model is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to fit the plug fully into an
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the
purpose of the polarized
plug in any way.

ouble-Insulated A
ppliances
A.L.C.I
The ORECK STEEMER is made to double-insulated
specifications and is equipped with an A.L.C.I.
(Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter). The A.L.C.I.
shuts off the unit in potentially hazardous
situations. The A.L.C.I. has a Test and Reset button
which should be operated each time the unit is
plugged in. Do not remove the tag which provides
test instructions from around the cord at the A.L.C.I.
(A.L.C.I. may vary from illustration).
DANGER: Improper installation of A.L.C.I.
can result in electric shock.
Do not modify or by-pass the A.L.C.I. Do not replace
any electrical component in this product with
anything other than an authorized ORECK
replacement part. The risk of electric shock can result
if used in the vicinity of improperly grounded
stationary appliances (stove, refrigerator, washer,
etc.).

Always vacuum thoroughly before using
the ORECK STEEMER carpet cleaner. It
provides excellent carpet cleaning on
carpeted surfaces that are free of surface
debris.
To achieve best results, high traffic areas and carpet
stains should be pretreated prior to cleaning. We
recommend STEEMER Full Release™ Professional
Spot & Stain PreCleaner.
CAUTION: Before cleaning a carpet for the
first time, test a small area for color fastness.
Pour a small amount of STEEMER Full Release™
Professional Carpet Cleaner on a clean white cloth
and blot carpet. Examine this cloth for color removal;
if color appears on the cloth, the carpeting is not
colorfast and should not be cleaned with the ORECK
STEEMER wet extraction process.
This product is not recommended for use
on carpets made from silk, velvet, wool
and some cotton blends.

TO PREPARE UPHOLSTERY
IMPORTANT: Prior to cleaning any upholstered
furniture read the following instructions very
carefully.
Most modern upholstery fabrics may be safely
cleaned by wet cleaning methods; yet there are
exceptions to this, as some delicate or unusual
fabrics require “dry cleaning.” If you are in doubt
about the type of fabric, we suggest that you check
with the manufacturer or dealer where the furniture
was purchased. Most fabrics are wear coded by the
manufacturer which details cleaning methods for a
particularfabric. If necessary, bring in a cushion or
arm cover to your dealer.
5. Lower cleaner onto floor stand.
9
• Cleaning upholstery which is covered with fabrics
that are not compatible with wet cleaning may
result in damage to the fabric. Know what the
fabric is and how it may be cleaned before using
the ORECK STEEMER cleaner.
• Check the stuffing material if possible. Look inside
cushions and underneath the furniture. If the filling
is colored, it may bleed through and discolor the
furniture. Most modern stuffing material is light
colored and colorfast.
• To remove loose dirt, vacuum upholstery thoroughly
with a ORECK vacuum cleaner or other vacuum
cleaner.
• If the upholstery is being cleaned for the first time,
CHECK FOR COLORFASTNESS. Test a small, area
several hours before starting to clean upholstery.
Pour a small amount of STEEMER Full Release™
Professional Upholstery Shampoo on a clean white
cloth and blot upholstery. Examine the cloth for
color removal. If color appears on cloth, the
upholstery is not colorfast and should not be
cleaned with wet extraction methods. Let test area
dry completely. Inspect for changes in color,
bleeding, stretching or shrinkage. Test another area
if in doubt. This product is not recommended
for use on silk, velvet, wool and some
cotton blends.
TO CLEAN UPHOLSTERY
1. Plug cord into an electrical outlet.
4. Turn cleaner on by placing the On/Off power
switch in the “On” position (Figure 13).
Operating Instructions
5. Lock the gray cleaner button by pressing and
sliding the button forward on the main handle
(Figure 14).
SMALL SPILL PICK-UPS
Small spills are typical household events. When
liquid is accidentally spilled within the home, the
liquid usually spreads out quickly into a wide area in
a thin sheet.
In such cases, the ORECK STEEMER can be a fast
and easy tool to assist in most types of spill pick-ups.
Several key precautions must be followed to insure
operator safety:
1. Always test and reset the STEEMER A.L.C.I. plug.
2. Do not immerse the power nozzle of the ORECK
STEEMER.
3. Do not allow the lower recovery tank to overfill.
4. Do not pick up corrosive, combustible, or
flammable liquids such as acids, gasoline,
alcohol, or use this product in areas where vapors
from these types of materials are present.
5. Do not use to clean out bathtubs, flooded
basements or any place where the liquid depth
exceeds
1
⁄8”.

To Store Cleaner
To Clean Carpet Cleaner
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric
shock or injury from moving parts,
unplug before servicing.
1. Before turning the cleaner off, tilt the cleaner
back, raising the nozzle off the carpet for 15-20
seconds. This prevents extracted water in the
nozzle from dripping back onto the carpet after
you turn the cleaner off.
2. Place the red power switch in the ”Off“ position.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
3. Remove the cleaner cartridge by rotating the
locking white lever upwards. Do not store with
a cleaner cartridge attached.

4. Remove and empty the
tank. Rinse out the lower
recovery tank with warm
water. Wipe off the inlet
screen to remove
accumulated dirt, lint
and debris (Figure 21).
Replace tank (Figure 8).
5. If you have been
operating the cleaner
at length, it may be
necessary to clean the
nozzle from time to time,
particularly if the carpet
is brand new or very
dirty, or if long-haired
pets frequently use the
carpeted area (Figure 22).
6. Unplug cleaner and
examine several areas
on the power nozzle
(Figures 22-23) to see
if debris has built up:
A: Extractor slots
(Figure 22-A)
B: Brush roll chamber
(Figure 22-B)
C: Spray Tips
(Figure 22-C)
7. To clean the STEEMER extractor slots, place a cloth
or towel over the motor cover to shield and
protect the motor from water damage. Run hot tap
water through the nozzle until clean (Figure 22).
8. To clean the brush chamber and spray tips, take a
towel or damp cloth and wipe clean. (Figure 23).
