Electrical Safety

1.  Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should  

be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for  

this electric steam cleaner. Receptacles are available 

having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this  

measure of safety.

2.  Make sure that the mains voltage matches that listed on 

the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can 

damage the steam cleaner and injure the user.

3.  To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension 

cord suitable for indoor use only, such as SW-A, SOW-A, 

STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or 

SJTOW-A.

  Before use, check that the extension cord is in good 

condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to 

use one heavy enough to carry the current your product 

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line 

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

4.  Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade 

grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept 

the plug on the product.
