MYTEE 1600 Focus Vapor Steamer User Manual
Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Focus™ Vapor Steamer. As
technology continues to develop you can work confidently knowing that both
Mytee and its employees are equally dedicated to developing with the industry
and its advances.
Like any other piece of machinery or technology, the Focus™ also requires proper maintenance and care to keep the product working over extended use. Neglecting your machine, abusing it or not operating it properly can void its warranty and prevent the machine from performing to the quality and standard you’d expect out of the Mytee line. If you have any warranty concerns or questions, please review this manual thoroughly or do not hesitate to contact your distributor.
If there are questions regarding maintenance, replacement, or ordering parts please contact an authorized Mytee Service Center. To see an updated list please visit our website at http://www.mytee.com/support/service-centers. Before using your Mytee product, please read this manual thoroughly.
Sincerely, Mytee Customer Care Dept.
Important Safety Information
Please read and understand this manual completely before operating this machine.
Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This
machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed in accordance with all local code and ordinances. Do not
remove ground pin; if missing, replace plug before use.
Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify the plug or the
machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and with a grounding
plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not
available, follow the illustrations of Figure 2 & 3 to install a temporary-
grounding plug. This temporary work-around should be used only until a proper
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. When and if
this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into place
with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in
Canada.
Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages and replace if necessary.
The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to only the grounding pin.

Unpacking the Machine
