Water and cleaning solution

is not dispensing onto carpet

or upholstery.

Not removing certain stains.

Heavy traffic area spots.

Carpet is excessively wet after

cleaning.

Note: Under normal

conditions, a carpet may take

up to four hours or longer to

completely dry. Drying time

depends on a combination of

various factors including:

carpet type, carpet pile

thickness, temperature,

humidity, air circulation and

the number of wet passes.

Excessive foaming at spray tips.

Dark streaks on carpet after

cleaning.

STEEMER brush roll will

not turn.

Cleaner will not run or

suddenly stops.

•Check that the upper supply tank is partially

filled with lukewarm water. Caution: Do not

overfill.

•Check that a cleaner cartridge is installed and

that the white lever is locked in the downward

position. Due to pressurization, the cleaner will

not properly operate without a cleaner

cartridge in place. If the cleaner cartridge is

empty, replace it with a full cartridge.

•Check that the spray tips are not clogged. Use a

towel or damp cloth to clean.

•For above-the-floor cleaning, check that the

hand-held nozzle and hose assembly is properly

connected to the cleaner neck. Also insure that

the button lock has been engaged.

•For best results, use a stain pretreatment, such

as STEEMER Full Release™ Professional Spot &

Stain PreCleaner. These solutions loosen and

break down most common household grease,

oil, and food stains.

•Make several slow passes over the stain from

different angles.

•Make at least one additional pass over the wet

carpet without pressing the cleaner button.

•Check that the handle trigger lock is not

engaged.

•With each pass, slowly pull the unit toward you

to extract any remaining liquid in the carpet. To

speed drying, gently push the nozzle deep into

the carpet pile.

•Check for airpath obstructions in the

stair/upholstery hose, cleaner neck and in the

nozzle. Check to insure that the inlet screen is

free of debris.

•Check that the upper supply tank has water.

•Operate the machine more slowly; you will

achieve better results with one slow pass than

several fast strokes.

•Overlap each pass to provide maximum

cleaning without streaking.

•In high traffic or heavily soiled carpets, it is

occasionally beneficial to allow the carpet to dry

and repeat the process as needed to achieve

optimal cleaning.

•Check that the STEEMER power cord is

completely connected to the main unit.

•If an obstruction stalls the brush roll, the belt is

designed to burn through so as to protect the

motor. Please insure through inspection that the

brush roll is free of obstructions and is free to

turn. Secondly, make sure that the belt is in

good working order. Replace the belt if needed.

•If the belt and the brush roll become

excessively wet, momentary slippage can occur.

By running the unit on a dry section of carpet

for a minute or less, the belt will function

properly.

•Reinsert the plug, if it has slipped out of the outlet.

•The A.L.C.I. may have tripped off due to

fluctuations in household current. Press the reset

button and restart the unit.

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 is provided on a double-insulated

appliance, nor should a means for grounding be

added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated

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.

Servicing of

Double-Insulated Appliances

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. The A.L.C.I. has a Test and Reset button

which should be operated each time the unit is

plugged in. 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 by-pass 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.).

Always vacuum thoroughly before using

the ORECK STEEMER carpet cleaner. It

provides excellent carpet cleaning on

carpeted surfaces that are free of surface

debris.

To achieve best results, high traffic areas and carpet

stains should be pretreated prior to cleaning. We

recommend 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 the ORECK

STEEMER wet extraction process.

This product is not recommended for use

on carpets made from silk, velvet, wool

and some cotton blends.

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 furniture

was purchased. Most fabrics are wear coded by the

manufacturer which details cleaning methods for a

particularfabric. If necessary, bring in a cushion or

arm cover to your dealer.

5. Lower cleaner onto floor stand.

9

• 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 ORECK vacuum cleaner or other 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

1. Plug cord into an electrical outlet.

4. Turn cleaner on by placing the On/Off power

switch in the “On” position (Figure 13).

Operating Instructions

5. Lock the gray cleaner button by pressing and

sliding the button forward on the main handle

(Figure 14).

SMALL SPILL PICK-UPS

Small spills are typical household events. When

liquid is accidentally spilled within the home, the

liquid usually spreads out quickly into a wide area in

a thin sheet.

In such cases, the ORECK STEEMER can be a fast

and easy tool to assist in most types of spill pick-ups.

Several key precautions must be followed to insure

operator safety:

1. Always test and reset the STEEMER A.L.C.I. plug.

2. Do not immerse the power nozzle of the ORECK

STEEMER.

3. Do not allow the lower recovery tank to overfill.

4. Do not pick up corrosive, combustible, or

flammable liquids such as acids, gasoline,

alcohol, or use this product in areas where vapors

from these types of materials are present.

5. Do not use to clean out bathtubs, flooded

basements or any place where the liquid depth

exceeds 1⁄8”.

6. Depress the red

dispensing trigger on

the hand-held nozzle

To Store Cleaner

To Clean Carpet Cleaner

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric

shock or injury from moving parts,

unplug before servicing.

1. 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.

2. Place the red power switch in the ”Off“ position.

Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

3. Remove the cleaner cartridge by rotating the

locking white lever upwards. Do not store with

a cleaner cartridge attached.

21 4. Remove and empty the

tank. Rinse out the lower

recovery tank with warm

water. Wipe off the inlet

screen to remove

accumulated dirt, lint

and debris (Figure 21).

Replace tank (Figure 8).

5. 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 (Figure 22).

6. Unplug cleaner and

examine several areas

on the power nozzle

(Figures 22-23) to see

if debris has built up:

A: Extractor slots

(Figure 22-A)

B: Brush roll chamber

(Figure 22-B)

C: Spray Tips

(Figure 22-C)

7. 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 (Figure 22).

8. To clean the brush chamber and spray tips, take a

towel or damp cloth and wipe clean. (Figure 23).
