Safety Precautions for your Eco Jet
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
SUNBEAM ECO JET.
• The Sunbeam Eco Jet is intended for domestic
household use only.
• Should calcification occur, the white ‘halo’
effect can be removed using a decalcifying
product or with a few drops of vinegar applied
directly to the area.
• Do not direct the steam jet toward people or
pets as this could be harmful.
• Only use the attachments supplied with the
Eco Jet. Others may cause hazards.
• Do not direct steam toward equipment
containing electrical components, such as
the interior of ovens. It could damage the
equipment and may cause serious injury.
• Always check the manufacturer's care and
cleaning instructions before using the Eco Jet
to clean fabrics, soft furnishings and other
surfaces, where possible.
• Always unplug the Eco Jet from the power
outlet when filling the tank with water.
• Do not add detergents, chemicals, aromatic
products, or solutions of any kind when filling
with water as this may damage the Eco Jet or
make it unsafe for use.
• Do not exceed the maximum water level
(300ml) as the unit may fail to operate
effectively. The tank may overflow and boiling
water may be emitted from the nozzle instead
of steam.
• Do not use the utility head on any surface
without the cloth or squeegee fitted as it may
damage or scratch the surface.
• Do not touch the surface of the Eco Jet or the
attachments during or immediately after use
as these parts will be hot. Allow to cool before
handling.
• Do not tilt the Eco Jet more than 45 degrees
from the horizontal or turn it upside down
during or immediately after use. Boiling water
could come out of the nozzle.
• Allow the Eco Jet to cool completely before
storing.
• Do not open the water tank cap during or
immediately after use, as there is a danger
of scalding. Follow the instructions to expel
any remaining steam. Allow the unit to cool
completely before opening.

Caution: Do not tilt the Eco Jet more than 45
degrees from the horizontal or turn it upside
down during or immediately after use. Boiling
water could come out of the nozzle instead of
steam.
Note: When turned on for the first time, your
new Eco Jet may drip a small amount of
water when initially producing steam. This is
normal and will not reoccur.
