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.
