• 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 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.
