buckets or canisters to ll the tank unless these are completely free of dirt or
foreign objects.
7. Do not drag the machine by pulling the hose, this can damage the hose.
8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This dry-steam cleaner must be 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. The cord must be wired into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF DETERGENTS
One of the principal advantages of steam is that it takes away the need to use
detergents. However, we recognize that in certain situations the addition of
detergent can assist the power of steam and speed up the cleaning process.
Goodway offers approved detergent (GVC-500) to be used via the detergent facility
for occasional use.
WARNING: other detergents should not be used as the chemical’s reaction to heat
is not always known. Heated chemicals can give off noxious fumes which can cause
serious injury.
WARNING: Do not put any chemical in the water tank. This will cause damage to
the boilers and pumps within the unit
