SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING A STEAM VAPOR SYSTEM
(This sheet should be attached to and left with the system at all times.)
The Steam Vapor System is an electrical appliance used to generate high temperature, low moisture steam vapor
that is safe and easy to use. The system is designed to be used for sanitation and cleaning a wide variety of
surface types using the heat contained within the steam vapor as the functional agent. As such, the user is
required to read and understand the instructions for use as set forth in the User Guide, to follow accepted safety
practices as with any other electrical appliance, and to read and understand the following:
1. Never direct the steam ports at any body parts, person or animal, as hot steam can cause injury.
2. Never use the system for anything other than its intended use, or use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Never use a system that is not connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet of 120 VAC,
60/50 Hertz (cps), or if the power cord is damaged in any way.
4. Never use a system in a wet environment, or subject the system to extreme heat or cold, or use
in an area where volatile fumes may be present, or immerse in any type of liquid.
5. Never attempt to continue to use a damaged or malfunctioning system. Turn “off”, then unplug
the system and return it to your nearest authorized service facility.
6. Never use extension cord of less than 14 gauge in size (AWG), or rated less than 15 amps, or
without a proper ground connection or safety listings, or in excess of 50 feet in length.
7. Never use the power cord or steam hose as handle to pull or carry the system.
8. Never leave a system unattended, even for short periods, when turned “on” or plugged in to an
electrical outlet.
9. Never direct steam into electrical sockets, electrical switches, or use on electronic equipment
even if unplugged as steam may cause damage leading to electric shock.
10. Never put anything into the machine reservoir except clean, clear, potable water, as damage
may occur to the system, and may put the user at risk of illness or injury; adding materials other
than water will also void the Warranty.
11. Never store the system where it may be exposed to severe temperature fluctuations, weather
conditions or personnel traffic.
12. Always test the surface to be cleaned, as to whether high temperature of the steam will deform
or damage the surface, in an inconspicuous area, particularly if the surface maybe susceptible to
damage from heat or moisture. Insure that adequate ventilation is available if in a confined
space.
13. Always turn the system “off” when filling with water, being careful not to overfill the reservoir.
14. Always assume, when removing body fluids that blood borne pathogens may be present and
proceed with caution, including the use of gloves and other protective gear as set forth in
OSHA regulation 1910.1030 and/or other applicable standards.
15. Always wear safety glasses when using the steam nozzles to blow out debris from cracks,
corners or when using overhead as on ceilings or when in confined areas.
16. Always turn steam flow “off” before changing tools, accessories, brushes or bonnet towels.
Steam vapor is hot and can cause burns. Insure that the accessories are properly attached
before turning “on” the steam.
17. Always use caution in removing brushes or bonnet towels from tools, as they can be hot
enough to cause scalding.
18. Always turn the power switch to the “off” position before unplugging the cord from the
electrical socket to reduce danger of electrical shock.
Be sure that you understand and use these rules for safe and effective operation of your Steam Vapor
System. If you have questions about the Safety Instructions or in the User Guide, please call your local
