GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with this appliance. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use in a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The rigid lug (usually green) extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground,
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Place the unit so that the nozzle end points downward.
Remove the cap to the water tank by twisting it counterclockwise.
Slowly pour unheated/cool water into the opening.
Leave at least
1
/
2
inch of air space in the water tank.
Replace the water tank cap by twisting clockwise until it resists
further tightening (about 1/4 turn). Do not over tighten. The
cap will “lock” into place as indicated on the opening of the tank.
Maximum water level
NOTE: If the cap is difficult to remove,
loosen by running under warm water or
use a dry towel to get a firmer grip on
the cap. Occasionally a pair of pliers may
be required to loosen the cap.

to allow the water to become hot enough for the Steam Wizard
to produce steam.
Slide the function control to STEAM. For stubborn stains the
STEAM SPRAY position can be used to dilute the stain with hot
water. Do not over-saturate the area with water.
Glide the nozzle over the stained area until the stain is lifted.
Once the stain is removed, excess water can be removed by
switching to VACUUM.
Do not allow the collection chamber to become too full.

Reassemble the unit to continue using the Steam Wizard. Once
cleaning is complete, the chamber and attachments should be
washed in warm soapy water before final reassembly and storage.
To empty the water tank, unplug the unit from the wall and hold
it over a drain or sink. Remove the water tank cap and turn the
nozzle up to drain the excess water from the tank.
DO NOT over tighten the water tank cap when replacing it.
Tighten the cap only until resistance is felt and it cannot turn
further without force.
The water tank must be emptied before the unit is stored.NOTE
Empty the chamber by shaking it over a wastebasket. Rinse the
chamber and filter under running water to remove excess dirt.
STAIN REMOVAL TIPS
Always test clean a small section of the stained area first. Most cleaning agents will do damage to certain fabrics or dyes.
For most fresh spills, remove as much liquid as possible, as quickly
as possible. Use the Steam Wizard vacuum to extract liquid from
the carpet or upholstery before preparing to steam clean.
The exception to this is strong acids which should be flushed with
water if possible, and then neutralized by sprinkling baking soda
or ammonia solution onto the spill area. Acids are dangerous and
it may be hard to prevent some damage from happening. Do not
vacuum acid or allow it to dry until it has been neutralized.
Once most of the liquid is removed, the risk of a serious stain is
greatly slowed down. Consider the best alternatives for removing
the remainder of the spill and get started.
Avoid mixing cleaning solutions or agents other than with water,
if you choose to use them. Some combinations can be deadly to
you as well as your carpet.
Once you have removed the liquid from a spill, don’t add water
until you are steam cleaning the area. Water will reactivate the
stain and soak it deeper into the fabric.
Always first try to clean the spill with steam only. In most cases
the steam will be able to eliminate the spill with the lowest possible
risk for permanent damage. Boost your cleaning power by using
a spray bottle to mist over the soiled area with a cleaning agent.
Let the mist settle on the stain for a minute and then clean with
the Steam Wizard. Use cleaning agents only as a last resort.
