a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with
inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Do turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.

water or other liquids. Always unplug the
power cord from the electrical socket when
filling the steam cleaner.
• Do NOT add cleaning solutions, scented
perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to
the water used in this appliance as this
may damage the unit or make it unsafe for
use. Use tap water or distilled/purified
water if the tap water in your area is very hard.
• Never use scouring pads, abrasive or
chemical cleaners, or solvents to clean the

putting away or opening water tank
(removing the safety cap). Wrap cord
loosely around system when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying
and when not in use. Always turn the
safety cap slowly when opening the water
tank . This will allow any remaining steam
