SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this steam cleaner  
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury  
when using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should  
always be followed, including the following:  
Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in.  
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.  
To prevent shock, do not use outdoors. The steam cleaner is  
intended for household use only.  
Do not let the unit run while in any one stationary position  
for any period of time. Keep the unit moving while in  
operation.  
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is  
necessary when used near children.  
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufac-  
turer’s recommended attachments.  
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not  
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left out-  
doors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center or  
call customer service at: US: 1-800-989-3535  
Canada: 1-888-676-7325.  
Do not pull or carry by the power cord, use cord as a handle,  
close a door on the power cord, or pull the power cord  
around sharp edges or corners.  
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.  
Do not run the steam cleaner over the power cord.  
Do not unplug by pulling on the power cord. To unplug,  
grasp the plug, not the power cord.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.  
Turn off all controls before unplugging. Always remove the  
power cord from the outlet and handle the steam cleaner  
with care when filling the water tank with water.  
• Do not over fill the water tank. Do not exceed the maximum  
fill level. Use the measuring jug to measure the correct  
amount of water.

Do not use without the water tank cap in place. Check that  
the water tank cap is completely screwed down before use.  
Do not operate without water in the water tank.  
• Do not fill the water tank with anything other than water or  
Oreck Fresh Air® Steam Mop Essence. Never put additives  
(such as perfume, stain remover, or products containing  
alcohol) in the water as they may damage the steam cleaner  
or make it dangerous to use.  
Empty the water tank when the steam cleaner is not in use.  
Do not touch any hot areas on the steam cleaner. It is normal  
for the steam cleaner to heat up during operation.  
The force and heat of the steam may have an adverse effect  
on some materials. Always test the steamer on a small con-  
cealed area to determine if it is suitable for treatment.  
Accessories become hot during use. Allow them to cool  
down before handling them.  
Never point or aim the steam cleaner at people, animals or  
plants (risk of scalding!). Do not aim the steam cleaner at  
electrical systems or wires.  
Connecting the steam cleaner to improper voltage may result  
in damage to the steam cleaner and possible injury. Always  
plug the steam cleaner into a power outlet with the correct  
voltage. See the rating label on the unit for the correct voltage.

Grounded Plug  
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or  
break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance  
for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The  
cord for this appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor  
and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an electri-  
cal 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 a risk of electrical shock. Check with  
a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as  
to whether the outlet is grounded. If not, have a proper outlet  
installed by a qualified electrician.  
This appliance is for use on nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a  
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the  
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration  
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
