Directions to reduce risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. If an extension cord is necessary, use a properly rated cord (15 ampere, 14 gauge). Use care to
position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged or tripped over during use.
3. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on rating label
agrees with your power supply.
4. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance on the same
circuit as this unit.
5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. If product
falls into water or another liquid, immediately unplug. Do not reach into the water while product is
plugged in.
6. Do not use power cord as handle, let it hang over edges of counters, or be crimped or closed in doors.
7. Never yank power cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
8. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. To avoid
risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble unit; contact McCulloch Consumer Service for examination
and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electrical shock when unit is used.
9. A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug.
Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn
outlets.
10. Do not leave unit unattended while plugged in. Unplug the appliance immediately after each use.
11. Do not use unit where aerosol-based products are being used, or where oxygen is
being administered.
12. Unit is only meant to be used with recommended accessories. Using other types of attachments may
cause damage to unit or injury.
13. If Lighted On/Off Switch does not illuminate when set to "ON" position while power cord is plugged
in, unit is not operating normally. Immediately disconnect cord from power supply, then refer to
troubleshooting guide of this manual for assistance.
14. Always turn unit off and unplug power cord before filling with water. Do not attempt to use unit without
properly filling.
15. When filling, only water should be used in unit – other cleaning agents could damage unit or cause
injury. Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly recommended, in order to minimize potential build-up
of mineral deposits. Do not overfill with more than recommended amount of water.
16. To avoid burns from escaping steam when removing cap to refill unit:
• Always allow unit to cool for 5-10 minutes.
