SI570 IM_v1 1204 1/20/05 3:43 PM Page 9 General Instructions Grounding Instructions This appliance must be properly grounded.

SI570 IM_v1 1204 1/20/05 3:43 PM Page 20 Stain Removal Tips Always test-clean a small section of the stained area first. Most cleaning agents will do damage to certain fabrics or dyes. •For most fresh spills, remove as much liquid as possible, as quickly as possible. Use the Steam Wizard vacuum to extract liquid from the carpet or upholstery before preparing to steam clean.
SI570 IM_v1 1204 1/20/05 3:43 PM Page 21 Stain Removal Tips •First try to clean the spill with steam only. In most cases the steam will eliminate the spill with the lowest possible risk of permanent damage. Boost your cleaning power by using a spray bottle to mist over the soiled area with a cleaning agent. Let the mist settle on the stain for a minute, then clean with the Steam Wizard. Use cleaning agents only as a last resort.
