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. 8 Operating Instructions • 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. 18 Test Button Reset Switch 2. Test and reset A.L.C.I. on the plug (Figure 18). 19 3. Insert a specially formulated STEEMER Full Release™ Professional Upholstery Cleaner Cartridge (Figure 19). 5. Lock the gray cleaner button by pressing and sliding the button forward on the main handle (Figure 14). 20 Dispensing Trigger 6. Depress the red dispensing trigger on the hand-held nozzle (Figure 20) 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. 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”. 4. Turn cleaner on by placing the On/Off power switch in the “On” position (Figure 13). 9 To Store CleanerTo 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. 21Inlet Screen 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). 22A: Extractor Slots B: Brush Roll Chamber C: SprayTips 6.
