followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS STEAM CLEANER.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1 Do not use outdoors.

2 Do not leave steam cleaner when plugged in. Unplug the electrical cord when not

in use and before servicing.

3 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near

children, pets and plants.

should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it

to a service center before using.

components.

14 Do not immerse the steam cleaner into water or other liquids. Always unplug the

power cord from the electrical socket when filling the steam cleaner.

15 Never put descaling, aromatic, alcoholic or detergent products into the

steam cleaner, as this may damage it or make it unsafe for use.

16 Before filling, proceed as follows: 1) unplug the power supply, 2) relieve

pressure by depressing steam delivery button, 3) allow steamer to cool down for

three minutes, 4) relieve any built up pressure again by depressing steam delivery

button, 5) slowly unscrew safety cap (see page 6, item 5) and wait 5 seconds

before removing.

17 Metal tips on nozzles will get hot during use. Do not touch hot surfaces.

Allow the attachments to cool down before replacing them while the appliance is

being used.

18 This appliance is intended for household use only.

19 Any repair work, including the replacement of the power cord must only be carried

out by an Authorized Eureka Service technician because a special tool is required.

CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ

Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique, quelques précautions élémentaires doivent

être observées, incluant les suivantes:

LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE NETTOYEUR À VAPEUR.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour réduire le risque de feu, de choc électrique ou de blessure:

1 Ne pas utiliser le nettoyeur à vapeur à l’extérieur.

2 Ne pas laisser le nettoyeur à vapeur seul quand il est branché. Débrancher le nettoyeur

à vapeur lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas ou avant l’entretien.

3 Ne pas permettre que le nettoyeur à vapeur soit utilisé comme un jouet. Une attention

particulière est nécessaire lorsqu’il est utilisé par ou près d’un enfant, animales ou

plantes.

4 Suivre strictement les recommandations d’utilisation de ce manuel. Utiliser

uniquement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.

5 Ne jamais utiliser le nettoyeur à vapeur si le cordon ou la fiche sont endommagés. Si

le nettoyeur à vapeur ne fonctionne pas comme il le devrait, s’il a été échappé, s’il

est endommagé, s’il a été laissé à l’extérieur ou échappé dans de l’eau, le retourner

à un centre de service avant de l’utiliser.

6 Ne pas tirer ou transporter le nettoyeur à vapeur par le cordon. Ne pas utiliser le

cordon en guise de poignée. Ne pas fermer une porte sur le cordon ou tirer le cordon

sur des bordures ou des coins pointus. Tenir le cordon à distance des surfaces

chauffantes.

7 Ne pas utiliser des cordons de rallonge ou des prises qui n’ont pas une capacité

suffisante pour transporter le courant.

8 Ne pas débrancher le nettoyeur à vapeur en tirant sur le cordon. Pour débrancher

saisir la fiche et non pas le cordon.

9 Ne pas manipuler la fiche ou le nettoyeur à vapeur avec les mains mouillées ou faire

fonctionner pieds nus.

10 Ne rien insérer dans les ouvertures. Ne pas utiliser si des ouvertures sont bloquées.

11 Entreposer votre nettoyeur à vapeur à l’intérieur, dans un endroit propre et sec.

12 Maintenir un bon éclairage à l’endroit où vous travaillez.

13 Ne jamais retourner l’appareil, ou le mettre sur son côté lors de l’emploi de la

vapeur. Ne jamais diriger la vapeur vers une personne, un animal ou une plante

et tous les appareils comportant des pièces électriques.

14 Ne pas immerger le nettoyeur à vapeur dans de l’eau, ou d’autres liquides. Toujours

débrancher le cordon électrique de la prise lors de remplissage du nettoyeur.

15 Ne jamais mettre des produits détartrants, aromatiques, alcooliques ou

détergents dans le nettoyeur à vapeur. Ceux-ci peuvent l’abîmer ou le rendre

dangereux à utiliser.

16 Avant de remplir, faites le suivant : 1) débranchez le cordon électrique, 2) réduisez

la tension en appuyant sur le bouton qui règle l’arrivée de la vapeur, 3) attendez 3

minutes pour que l’appareil se refroidisse, 4) appuyez de nouveau sur le bouton qui

règle l’arrivée de la vapeur afin d’être sûr que toute tension accumulée se dissipe,

5) dévissez lentement le casque de protection (voir l’article 5 à la page 6) et attendez

5 secondes avant de l’enlever.

17 La pointe en métal de la lance chauffe pendant l’emploi. Ne touchez pas les

surfaces chaudes.

18 Permettez aux accessoires de se refroidir avant de les remettre pendant l’emploi de

l’appareil.

19 Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour l’usage ménager. Tout travail d’entretien, y

compris le remplacement du cordon électrique doit être fait par un technicien Eureka

autorisé parce qu’un outil spécial est nécessaire.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and

grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Instructions Visant la Mise à la Terre

Cet appareil doit être mise à la terre. En cas défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la

mise à la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque

de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de terre

et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise

appropriée correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux règlements et

ordonnances municipaux.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to

whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

AVERTISSEMENT

Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.

Consulter un électricien ou un technicien d’entretien qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain

que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec

l’appareil-si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate

par un électricien qualifié.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that

looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter

illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as

shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be

used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified

electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must

be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian

Electrical Code.

Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120 V et est muni d’une fiche de mise à la terre

semblable à celle illustrée par le Figure A. S’assurer que l’appareil est branché à une

prise de courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche. Aucun adaptateur ne devrait

être utilisé avec cet appareil.

Note: Au Canada, l’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le

Code canadien de l’électricité.

Main Features of the HOT SHOT™ hand held steamer

Thank you for having chosen our product and allow us to congratulate you for having

purchased the Eureka Hot Shot hand held steamer.

The Eureka Hot Shot hand held steamer achieves a high degree of hygienic and

degreasing power on many surfaces. It turns water into steam in just a few minutes, so

when contact is made with surfaces dirt and grime is removed.

Since the Eureka Hot Shot hand held steamer uses the active power of steam without

the use of detergents or soap, it is safe for the environment.

Some surfaces that can be cleaned with the Hot Shot hand held steamer are: upholstery,

sealed grout, bathroom and kitchen tile, stove tops, removable exhaust filter over stoves,

windows and mirrors.

The fabric tool may be used to steam wrinkles out of clothing, window coverings, etc.

CAUTION: Do not direct steam at the body.

Other Advantages of the Eureka Hot Shot hand held steamer

The Eureka Hot Shot hand held steamer can kill dust mites and some types of bacteria,

such as salmonella and E-coli when used properly.

To disinfect a specific area, position the steamer over the area, not more than 1 inch

away and slowly move across the surface. This allows the surface under the steamer to

reach approximately 1707F. Use this procedure to disinfect surfaces in: the bathroom,

food preparation areas, pillows and bedding, pet sleeping quarters, etc.

Description of the HOT SHOT™ hand held steamer

WARNING: After every use, press steam delivery button until all pressure has

been released before removing safety cap.

1. Unscrew the safety cap. (After first use, turn the appliance

HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The Eureka Hot Shot™ hand held steamer is designed to thoroughly clean hard surfaces

and upholstery that will withstand high heat. Do not use on soft plastics, unsealed wood,

and cold glass.

WARNING: On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors,

the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. Do not use

on unsealed wood. This could cause the woodgrain to rise.

It is therefore recommended that a sample cleansing be carried out

on an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned. Also, check use and

care instructions from the manufacturer on the object you want to

clean.

Do not plug unit into an electrical outlet until Step 7.
