CAUTION
STEAM IS HOT!
Please be aware that steam is produced at 100˚C – so be careful, wear protective
clothing and protect your hands with heat resistant gloves or mitts. Be aware that during use,
condensing steam will result in a small amount of hot water dripping from the attachments. Take extra
care when cleaning with the attachments at higher levels, eg cleaning windows or tiles. When used
for removing creases from clothes or curtains avoid water marks from dripping water by wiping the
attachments occasionally with a dry cloth. The exposed parts of the Steam Caddy that become hot in
use, and which the user is likely to touch in use, are coloured RED as an extra warning. Never touch
these parts when the unit is in use. Any part of the Steam Caddy may be hotter than you expect, so
always take extra care during or after use.
You will see this symbol above the Steam Release button on the handle, to warn you about
the presence of steam.
Quality control checks in our factory may result in a very small residue of water in the steam hose of
the Steam Caddy. This is due to steam cooling in the hose. When you switch the unit on for the first
time (and every time thereafter) and before the Steam Ready light comes on, there may be a short jet
of hot water or steam ejected from the end of the tool, before or immediately after the Steam Button
is pressed. Drain this water into a container, until only steam is produced, before starting your cleaning
task.
Only submerge the end of the handle nozzle when descaling. Never submerge at any other time, with
or without attachments fitted. Cooling steam will draw water up into the hose.
USING STEAM ON DELICATE MATERIALS
Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning.
Steam is being generated at 100˚C.
Do not use on any surfaces that cannot withstand this temperature e.g. Draylon
®
, velour, delicate
fabrics etc.
Always test a small area of the material – preferably a portion that is normally unseen –
and allow it to dry before starting the full cleaning task.
Do not soak materials being cleaned. Only a light application of steam is required.
We do not recommend using this product on self adhesive vinyl tiles.
