Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The words Double Insulation or Double Insulated or the double-insulation symbol (
). In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means it is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a doubleinsulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. Polarization Instructions: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the Oreck Steemer model is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to fit the plug fully into an outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug in any way. A.L.C.I The Oreck Steemer is made to double-insulated specifications and is equipped with an A.L.C.I. (Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter). The A.L.C.I. shuts off the unit in potentially hazardous situations. fig. 5 The A.L.C.I. has a Test and Reset button which should be tested each time the unit is plugged in. a. Do not remove the tag which provides test instructions from around the cord at the A.L.C.I. (A.L.C.I. may vary from illustration). DANGER: Improper installation of A.L.C.I. can result in electric shock. Do not modify or bypass the A.L.C.I. Do not replace any electrical component in this product with anything other than an authorized ORECK replacement part. The risk of electric shock can result if used in the vicinity of improperly grounded stationary appliances (stove, refrigerator, washer, etc.).
To Set-Up Cleaner The Oreck Steemer carpet and hard flooring cleaner is designed for fast and easy set-up. fig. 6 Swing the wheels away from the nozzle into the operating position. Remove the supply/recovery tank: fig. 7 Pinch the tank release latch together and gently lower the latch to the nozzle. Do Not Force Latch! fig. 8 Push the supply/recovery tank downward toward the nozzle and lift out.
fig. 9 Fill the supply tank: a. Open the tank cap. b. Fill the tank with hot tap water to the fill line, as noted on the side of the tank. CAUTION: Do not overfill tank. Do not put any type of shampoo/cleaner into the supply tank. fig. 10 Close tank cap and place the tank back on the cleaner. Lift the latch to slide the tank upward into position until you hear a click, signaling that the tank is securely locked into place.
Insert Cleaning Cartridge/Bottle: NOTE: Steemer will not operate without a cleaner cartridge locked into the docking bay. Use only Steemer Full Release® Professional Carpet Cleaner cartridges, which are specifically formulated to be residue-free. Other carpet shampoo will leave residues in the unit that will, over a short period of time, clog the dispensing system and void your warranty. Remove the cleaner cartridge/bottle cap. fig. 11 Insert the cleaner cartridge into the docking bay on the
side of the cleaner. a. The directions on the cleaner cartridge must be facing out. b. Lock and seal the cartridge in the cleaner by rotating the white lever on cartridge from top to bottom.
Test and reset the A.L.C.I.: fig. 5 Plug in the power cord. Press the test button to shut off power. To reset the A.L.C.I., simply push in the reset button on the plug.
To Prepare Carpet Always vacuum thoroughly with an ORECK Vacuum Cleaner before using the Oreck Steemer. It provides excellent carpet and hard floor cleaning on surfaces that are free of surface debris. To achieve best results, high traffic areas and carpet stains should be pretreated prior to cleaning using Steemer Full Release® Professional Spot & Stain PreCleaner. CAUTION: Before cleaning a carpet for the first time, test a small area for color fastness. Pour a small amount of Steemer Full Release® Professional Carpet Cleaner on a clean white cloth and blot carpet. Examine this cloth for color removal; if color appears on the cloth, the carpeting is not colorfast and should not be cleaned with any wet extraction process. NOTE: This product is not recommended for use on carpets made from silk, velvet, wool and some cotton blends. Check the manufacturers cleaning recommendations.

To Prepare Upholstery: IMPORTANT: Prior to cleaning any upholstered furniture, read the following instructions very carefully. Most modern upholstery fabrics may be safely cleaned by wet cleaning methods; yet there are exceptions to this, as some delicate or unusual fabrics require "dry cleaning." If you are in doubt about the type of fabric, we suggest that you check with the manufacturer or dealer where the fumiture was purchased. Most fabrics are wear ooded by the manufacturer which details cleaning methods for a particular fabric. If necessary, bring in a cushion or arm cover to your dealer.
Cleaning upholstery which is covered with fabrics that are not compatible with wet cleaning may result in damage to the fabric. Know what the fabric is and how it may be cleaned before using the Oreck Steemer cleaner.
Check the stuffing material if possible. Look inside cushions and underneath the furniture. If the filling is colored, it may bleed through and discolor the furniture. Most modern stuffing material is light colored and colorfast.
To remove loose dirt, vacuum upholstery thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner.
If the upholstery is being cleaned for the first time, CHECK FOR COLORFASTNESS. Test a small area several hours before starting to clean upholstery. Pour a small amount of Steemer Full Release® Professional Upholstery Shampoo on a clean white cloth and blot upholstery. Examine the cloth for color removal. If color appears on cloth, the upholstery is not colorfast and should not be cleaned with wet extraction methods. Let test area dry completely. Inspect for changes in color, bleeding, stretching or shrinkage. Test another area if in doubt. This product is not recommended for use on silk, velvet, wool and some cotton blends.
To Clean Upholstery & Small Spill Pick-Ups: Plug cord into an electrical outlet. fig. 12 Turn the Shampoo/Rinse switch to the SHAMPOO position. fig. 5 Test and reset A.L.C.I. on the plug. fig. 11 Insert a specially formulated Steemer Full Release® Professional
Upholstery Cleaner Cartridge. fig. 13 Turn cleaner on by placing the On/Off power switch in the ON position. fig. 14 Lock the cleaner spray button by pressing and sliding the button forward on the main handle. fig. 18 Depress the dispensing trigger on the hand-held nozzle and slowly drag the nozzle towards you. Make a second pass at right angles to the first. This will minimize any streaking or uneven appearance.
To Clean Carpet Cleaner WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury from moving parts, unplug before servicing. Before turning the cleaner off, tilt the cleaner back, raising the nozzle off the carpet for 15-20 seconds. This prevents extracted water in the nozzle from dripping back onto the carpet after you turn the cleaner off. fig. 13 Place the power switch in the OFF position. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. fig. 11 Remove the cleaner cartridge by rotating the locking lever upwards. Do not store with a cleaner cartridge installed. fig. 8 Remove and empty the tank. Rinse out the lower recovery tank with warm water. fig. 19 Wipe off the inlet screen to remove accumulated dirt, lint and debris. fig. 10 Replace tank. fig. 20 If you have been operating the cleaner at length, it may be
necessary to clean the nozzle from time to time, particularly if the carpet is brand new or very dirty, or if long-haired pets frequently use the carpeted area. Unplug cleaner and examine several areas on the power nozzle to see if debris has built up: a. Extractor slots b. Brush roll chamber c. Spray Tips
fig. 20 To clean the Steemer extractor slots, place a cloth or towel over the motor cover to shield and protect the motor from water damage. Run hot tap water through the nozzle until clean. To clean the brush chamber and spray tips, take a towel or damp cloth and wipe clean.
To Store Cleaner fig. 6 Pull the wheel assembly forward toward nozzle for compact storage. NOTE: Do not store the cleaner in freezing conditions. Do not store the cleaner with water in the tank. Do not store the cleaner with cleaner cartridge installed. Turn the squeegee upside down for storage. Squeegee will deform if left in position while in storage.
Things To Do Use only manufacturers recommended attachments and accessories.
