UNITED SC5201, Instruction Manual, Page: 8 / 16

CAUTION!
Cleaning Fabrics:
A number of materials and fabrics are NOT suitable to be cleaned by steam for
example:
Do not use on leather, wax polished furniture or floors, synthetic fabrics,
velvet, or other delicate, steam sensitive materials.
Cleaning Glass/Mirrors:
Thermal shock can also shatter glass. Before cleaning glass surfaces, carefully warm
the surface by directing the steam jet on the glass from a distance of no less then 6" or
15cm.
CAUTION!
We recommend:
You test in a hidden area before cleaning for colour fastness and fabric sensitivity. If
colour or appearance is affected DO NOT proceed to steam clean.
Help! I THINK MY Steam Cleaner HAS GONE WRONG
Water comes out of the nozzle
The Steam Cleaner develops a massive amount of steam. This may condense as water
or water droplets in the steam hose and tools and nozzle, which are then expelled
when used after a period of cooling. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
No steam comes out
Check in case the hose has become kinked or blocked, or that you have run out of
water or power!
I can't get the pressure cap off
Make sure that you have wholly de-pressurized the boiler See the section
REFILLING WITH WATER IN USE.
Steam flow is erratic; sometimes it works really well, sometimes not so good
If you have not used pure water, you may have a small blockage inside your Steam
Cleaner.
I have hard water and use boiled water from the kettle, or water that I left in the
boiler, now my Steam Cleaner doesn't work well at all.
Actually, you have made matters worse because boiled water concentrates the
minerals that form lime scale rather than boiling them away. Water left in the boiler
will go off and may create a reaction with the boiler and/or the steam hose. So,
ALWAYS empty the machine after use and NEVER use boiled water.
PLEASE RETAIN IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
