PROTECT YOUR HOME!

The heat generated by the boiler unit can mark carpets, soft furnishings, table tops, cabinets etc.
To prevent this we recommend placing the unit on a wooden board, tray or other barrier - making sure it will
not slip off one side or tilt during use.
Dust sheets or newspapers are not suitable heat protectors for delicate surfaces.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning. Steam is being generated at 100˚C. Do not
use on any surfaces that cannot stand this temperature e.g. Draylon®, delicate fabrics etc. Always test a small
area of the material - preferably a portion that is normally unseen - and allow to dry before starting the full
cleaning task.
Do not soak materials being cleaned. Only light application of steam is required.
