IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your Professional Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using Professional Steam Cleaner.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock. Do not immerse any part of the system in water or other liquids.
4. The system should always be turned OFF before plugging into or unplugging from outlet. Never yank cord to
disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the system cool completely before putting away or opening water
tank (removing the safety cap). Wrap cord loosely around system when storing.
6. Always disconnect system from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and when not in use.
Always turn the safety cap slowly when opening the water tank . This will allow any remaining steam to
escape gradually.
7. Always make sure that there is no steam in the steam generator (water tank) before opening the safety cap.
Follow instruction to release all remaining steam through the steam cleaner by pressing the steam release
button. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before starting to open the safety cap. Always turn the cap slowly
when opening the water tank to allow any remaining steam to escape gradually.
8. Do not operate the system with a damaged cord or plug, or if the stream cleaner or any other part of the
system has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the Professional Steam Cleaner. Return the system to EURO-PRO Operating LLC (see warranty for
examination and repair. Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury to
persons when the Professional Steam Cleaner is used.

unattended while connected.
