SAFETY RULES
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER
- Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, have your nearest Earlex Authorized Service Center replace it.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and of a heavy enough gauge to carry the maximum current as shown below:
16 AWG for leads up to 25’ in length.
12 AWG for leads up to 50’ in length.
10 AWG for leads up to 100’ in length.
Ensure extension lead is protected at the mains source by a 15A rated circuit-breaker in accordance with UL489.
OPERATION
STEAM IS HOT!
Please be aware that steam is produced at 100
o
C - so be careful, wear protective clothing and protect your hands
with heat resistant gloves or mitts.
FILLING:
Remove filler cap and fill unit to Max. level line or indicator with clean - preferably hot - water.
Replace filler cap.
The capacity of 5 litres (10 pints) provides approx.130 mins. steaming time before the safety cut-out operates. For a shorter steaming
time use less water.
Do not overfill the unit or hot water will be forced up the steam hose.
Screw hose onto threaded outlets of boiler, hand tight is sufficient.
Do not over tighten
but do check for hand tight fit from time to time during use.
Connect mains lead from unit to power socket and switch on. lt can take up to 15 mins (approx.) before steam is produced -
depending on fill water quantity and temperature.
Do not leave unattended and keep children & pets out of the room.
