effects on the carpet, e.g white streaks. If this happens DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE
Check with your carpet supplier for further advice. On wax treated surfaces and floors the
sheen may be removed by steam. Do not use on unsealed wood as this could destroy the
integrity of the wood grain. Always check a small area first or check with the manufacturer.
The large brush can be used in a number of ways and for a variety of purposes. You may
need to experiment to find the best method of cleaning. The two options of use are:
a) No bonnet being fitted over the large bristle
b) A bonnet being attached over the bristle
In general, option (a) is likely to be used on stone or tiled floors where there are areas
needing more vigorous action to clean thoroughly. This may, for instance, be the grouting
between tiles that requires the bristles to help clear out dirt or grime. Option (b) would be
the normal use for any stone, tiled or solid floor and normal carpeted areas.
Rubber profile window cleaner(Part 10)
After cleaning tiles or glass with one of the
brushes, use the Rubber Profile Window
Cleaner to remove excess water.
When cleaning exterior glass be careful not
to pick up grit particles on the rubber blade
as this could scratch the glass.
Antique glass and stained glass may be brittle
and can crack under extreme temperatures.
Do not use on glass when the temperature
is below 0
o
C.
The Window Cleaner can be either used separately or used fitted directly onto one or both
extension tube with the hose handle, whichever is best for the job in hand.
To fit the window cleaner onto the extension tube, first undo the screw in the large brush
connector, fit the connector into the extension tube and insert the window cleaner as shown.
(Dia.11)
As the attachment is moved down the window (mirror or tiles) and the steamer is unplugged,
the rubber blade will clean away the dirt as it wipes the surface after the steam has been
applied. Excess water from around the window should be removed with a dry cloth.
Note:
Steam will completely remove dust, film or greasy marks from windows, mirrors, tiles
and patio doors. It will remove soap and grease residues but cannot remove deposits of
scale. To remove black marks from grouting or difficult corners use the nozzle and small
brushes.
Unit will not operate
• No steam
1. Check that the unit is full of water, if it has boiled dry simply wait for 5 minutes and refill.
Note the internal heating element is fitted with a safety cut-out. This may take a several
minutes to reset.
2. If the unit has been tipped over and the thermal safety cutout has been activated, the
thermal cutout will self reset after approximately 20 minutes.
3. Possible debris in steamplate, unplug allow unit to cool down and check.
4. Hose may be kinked, check and straighten.
5. Check power supply and plug fuse(13amp).
6. If you are using an extension lead make sure it is rated to a minimum of 10amps. The
extension lead should always be fully unwound, an unwound lead may continually ‘trip’.
• Steam leaks from safety valve
This is a pressure release valve. It is there for your safety. If steam leaks from the valve
there may be a blockage in the steam hose. Unplug and check.
NEVER tamper, force or remove this valve.
Descaling
For maximum operating efficiency especially if you live in a hard water area we recommend
you descale the unit periodically using a kettle de-scaling product, follow the manufacture’s
instruction for use.
Attaching the bonnet
Take the bonnet and attach to the large brush with the elasticated traps,(Dia.8) use only
original bonnets.
The bonnets will need to be replaced as they become dirty. Used bonnets can be washed
and re-used. Wash at 90
o
C for maximum longevity. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner
and use only one third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging the fibres.
Using the nozzle
Connect the nozzle(Part 7) to the end of the steam hose. (Dia 9)
The nozzle is used to concentrate the steam spray to increase cleaning power. It can be
used in small, awkward, confined or hard to reach spaces or where concentrated steam is
needed.
Using the nozzle with an accessory
Attach one of the small brushes(Part 8 ) to
the nozzle.(Dia.10)
WARNING: THESE SMALL BRUSHES RUN
VERY HOT IN USE. When changing the small
brushes, always use a cloth when holding the
brush to prevent burning your hands. Check
the nozzle and brushes on a regular basis for
any debris/scale build up. The small brushes
can be used to agitate areas that need that little
bit extra abrasion.
The soft small brush is suitable for delicate
cleaning. The hard bristle is ideal for
removing stuborn dirt or stains. The brass
wire brush is suitable for removing dirt from
metallic surfaces, such as ovens, sanitary
fittings, radiators etc.
We recommend that you use the nozzle and
brushes in conjunction with a damp cloth. As
an example if you have baked on material on
a cooker, aim the nozzle at the surface, plug
in the steamer to release the steam and you
should be able to easily wipe the surface clean.
The damp cloth enables you to wipe away the
waste material.
Note:
If possible always test any of the brushes on an unseen area or similar material
before use.
