IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury, the following basic safety precautions should
always be followed when using an electrical appliance.
DANGER
Any appliance is electrically live even when switched off. To reduce risk of electrical shock:
1. Always unplug power cord immediately after using.
2. Do not place or store unit where it can fall or be pulled into a sink or tub.
3. Do not place in, or drop into water or other liquid.
4. If unit falls into water, immediately unplug power cord. Do not reach into the water.
WARNING
To reduce risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. Use Multipurpose Steam Canister only for its intended purpose as indicated in this manual.
2. If an extension cord is necessary, use a properly rated cord (15 ampere, 14 gauge). Use care
to position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged or tripped over during use.
3. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on
rating label matches your power supply.
4. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit as this unit.
5. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse unit in water or other liquids. Do
not use the power cord as a handle, or let it hang over edges of counters. Do not crimp or
squeeze the cord.
6. Never yank power cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble unit. Incorrect reassembly can cause a
risk of electrical shock when unit is used.
8. Close supervision is required for any appliance being used near children, pets and plants. Do
not leave unit unattended while plugged in.
9. This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the unit by a person responsible for
their safety.
10. Do not use unit where aerosol-based products are being used, or where oxygen is
being administered.
11. Unit is only meant to be used with the included or recommended accessories. Using other
types of attachments may cause damage to unit or injury.
12. If lighted on/off switch does not illuminate when set to “On” position while power cord is
plugged in, unit is not operating normally. Immediately disconnect cord from power supply,
then refer to troubleshooting guide on page 10 of this manual for assistance.
13. Always turn unit off and unplug power cord before filling water reservoir with water. Do not
attempt to use unit without properly filling reservoir.
14. Use only water in the reservoir. Use of cleaning agents could damage unit or cause injury.
Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended in order to minimize potential
build-up of mineral deposits. Do not fill reservoir with more than 48 oz. (1,420 ml.) of water.

15. To avoid burns from escaping steam when removing the reservoir cap:
• Always allow unit to cool for 20 minutes.
• Press and hold Steam Button to release ALL remaining steam.
16. To reduce risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam nozzle, check appliance before
each use by positioning it away from body and turning it on. Do not operate unit if steam
nozzle is blocked.
17. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Do not touch main
nozzle or attempt to connect accessories while unit is in use. Do not touch bottom of mop
head or attempt to attach a microfiber pad by hand while unit is in use. Use caution when
you turn unit upside down – there may be hot water in water reservoir.
18. Use caution when using unit on uneven surfaces, such as stairs.
19. When steaming any surface for the first time, it is recommended that you consult the
manufacturer’s guidelines for material being steamed. For items in question, test on an
inconspicuous area before proceeding.
20. Steaming unsealed hardwood or unglazed ceramic surfaces is not recommended, and may
result in warping or damage to the surface. Steam may remove the sheen from surfaces
treated with wax.
21. When steam mopping, never leave unit resting in one spot on any surface for any period of
time – prolonged exposure to heat and moisture may damage floor surfaces.
22. Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces during use. Bundle cord loosely when storing.
23. Always allow the unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) and empty water reservoir
before storing. Do not store unit with a damp microfiber pad still attached.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
1. Users of this appliance must read and understand these instructions before operating or
cleaning this appliance.
2. The cord to this appliance should be attached to a 120V AC electrical outlet ONLY.
3. Do not use or attempt to repair a malfunctioning appliance.
4. If this appliance falls or accidentally is immersed in water, unplug it immediately. Do not
reach into the water!
5. Do not use this appliance after it has fallen into or becomes immersed in water.
6. To reduce the risk of injury to persons or property, never use this appliance in an
unstable position.
NOTES ON THE CORD
The short power-supply cord provided should be used in a way that reduces the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with
this product.
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate
properly. It should be operated using a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
