  Several factors can prevent your McCulloch Steam Cleaner from heating. Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker or ground fault interrupter and reset it if tripped, or replace the fuse. An empty reservoir or mineral build-up can also be the cause. Refer to Filling Reservoir procedure on Page 9 and Care & Maintenance section on Page 11 for details. If the unit is damaged, stop using it immediately, unplug it, and contact Consumer Service.

  If you notice excessive water in the steam, it could be due to water condensation in the steam hose. Point the nozzle towards a sink, tub, or the ground, and shake it while pressing the steam trigger until the excess water is released. Overfilling the reservoir can also cause this issue; do not fill with more than 25 oz (739 ml) of water. Also, make sure the unit has reached full operating temperature, waiting until the steam indicator light turns blue before you start steaming.

  A weak or intermittent steam output from your McCulloch Steam Cleaner could be due to a low water level in the reservoir or mineral build-up in the unit. Refer to the Refilling Reservoir procedure on Page 9 and the Care & Maintenance section on Page 11 for detailed instructions.

  Cloudy or streaky floors after steaming with your McCulloch Steam Cleaner can be caused by a dirty microfiber pad. Replace the microfiber pad with a clean one. It may also be caused by hard water residue on the floor. Try switching to distilled or de-mineralized water.
