could cause damage to people, animals or things, against which Oreck cannot be held responsible.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only 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 to install a proper outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Ensure that the rating and of the outlets corresponds to the maximum power indicated on the nameplate.
In case of doubt, refer to qualified personnel. To avoid dangerous overheating of the appliance, we
reccommend unrolling the electrical cord completely. Do not leave the appliance plugged while not in
use. Do not obstruct the ventilation/dissipation slots. Keep adequate space between walls, objects,
etc.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate high wattage appliances on the same circuit.
2. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for
less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to prevent tripping over the cord.
Always unplug from electrical outlet after use and before cleaning. In case the appliance does not
operate correctly, turn it off immediately. Avoid repairing it yourself. For repairs, consult an authorized
Oreck dealer and require that original spare parts are used. The lack of conformity to the above might
endanger the safety of this appliance and will invalidate eventual warranty. In case you decide to
discontinue using this appliance, cut the electrical cord, after unplugging it from the electrical outlet,
and to dispose of it and the appliance properly. Never leave the appliance nor its parts in the reach of
children, who could use them as toys. Keep all packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene, staples, etc.) out
of the reach of children.

If you use the appliance with ordinary tap water, control and replace the anti-scaling filter when it assumes a blue color.
If the worn filter is not replaced, the steam generator will not work properly because of a calcium deposit forming within
a short time.
The manufacturer is not to be held liable for damages to the appliance deriving from failure to replace the filter.
HOW TO REPLACE THE FILTER
Always unplug the unit before replacing the filter.
Release the tank using the cursor (A). Extract it carefully to avoid breaking the rubber valve located at the bottom.
CAUTION: THE ANTI-SCALING FILTER MUST ONLY BE EXTRACTED VERTICALLY, STARTING FROM THE
BOTTOM UPWARD (Fig. 1D) TO AVOID BREAKING THE WATER SPOUT LOCATED AT THE BASE OFTHE FILTER.
Put in the new filter vertically, making sure you have inserted the water spout into the connecting opening on the
body of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that earth, dust, debris and dirt of any kind does not get into the opening to avoid
damaging the pump. Dirt and debris CAN BLOCK IT!
Put the tank back into place.
STEAM BUTTON FRAME ASSEMBLY
The steam button frame may unsnap during use. To reassemble, replace frame over button and snap to secure.
SAFETY VALVE
The appliance is equipped with a safety valve, which opens when the steam circuit is obstructed for any reason; in
this case you will see a small amount of water leaking from the opening. (I). We recommend not to use the appliance
if this problem should persist and to call an authorized Oreck Service Center.

FILLING WITH WATER
Always remove the plug from the outlet before starting the following operation.
Release the tank using the red release button (A) (FIG. 1A) and extract it very carefully, unscrew the cap to 90° to
release the bayonet coupling leaving the floater tube (permanent fishing tube) inside the tank, and fill the tank directly
from the tap (FIG. 1B). Put the cap back on again turning until it is tight. Insert the tank into the appliance, pressing it
firmly into its housing while you lock it with the red release button (A).
WARNING: only use water to fill up the tank; never use chemical, detergent or inflammable substances (alcohol,
perfumes, essences, etc.).
It is advisable to use distilled or de-mineralized water to make the product last longer: the anti-calcium filter will not
become worn if you do so.
Never use the appliance without water.
SWITCHING ON
Make sure the main power supply corresponds to the one shown on the label with technical data on the appliance.
Plug into the outlet. The light will come on (FIG. 1C), indicating that the appliance is warming up. Always wait for the
light to go out before pressing the steam control button.
This light will come on and go off to indicate that the unit is operating properly. The appliance only produces steam
when the button is pressed; when the button is released, the steam will only come out for a few seconds more.
WARNING: When first using the unit, or when starting to use it again after an interval, it is quite normal that condensation
will cause some drops of water to drip out of the appliance; this will disappear as you continue to use it.
When using the unit, at first, it may smell a bit because the internal mechanisms are being broken in. This smell will
disappear as you continue to use it.
WARNING: The plastic housing of the Sanapathic Vapor Machine heats up while it is being used. This is normal
and does not interfere with the correct functioning of the appliance.
WARNING: When using the unit for the first time, and when changing the filter, you must keep the button
pressed down for about 2 minutes before you see the steam coming out.
AFTER USE
ALWAYS REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE OUTLET EACH TIME YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE APPLIANCE
AND BEFORE PUTTING IT AWAY TO AVOID DAMAGING IT PERMANENTLY.
A. Important: Let out all residual steam by pointing it downwards.
B. Wind the flex around the special hooks (never keep the unit plugged in when it is hanging on the wall).
C. Cool the appliance down and put it away in a dry and protected place. It is best to completely empty the water tank
if the appliance has to be put away for a long time.
Periodically clean the holes for steam outlet from eventual scaling, using a needle or pin. This operation must
also be done regularly with the opening of the curved jet nozzle.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING: Always unplug the unit before applying accessories, removing them or replacing them.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when replacing or removing accessories. They become very hot.
Curved jet nozzle: Used for cleaning hard to reach spaces or small areas if you need a concentrated jet. (FIG. 2).
Triangular brush: Applied to the curved jet nozzle to clean fabrics, sofas, armchairs, carpets and car interiors. (FIG. 3).
Rectangular brush: Applied to the curved jet nozzle, ideal for cleaning stubborn stains on fabrics, sofas, armchairs,
car interiors and also carpets and wall to wall carpeting. (FIG. 4).
Small round brush: Apply it to the curved jet nozzle for difficult places to clean such as corners, narrow places and
gaps. (3 brushes with different colors for using in 3 types of environments are provided). (FIG. 5).
Window cleaning attachment: You apply this to the product for mirrors, windows, and smooth surfaces (FIG. 6).
The sponge and rubber device fixed onto the accessory are suitable for cleaning after using steam on the surfaces.
Wall bracket: The appliance can be hung up on the wall after use, using the bracket, screws and screw anchors. (FIG. 7).
MAINTENANCE
If you only use distilled or de-mineralized water in the appliance, the filter will not be exposed to wear; however we do
recommend replacing it every six months.
