GVC-2200-V Operation & Maintenance Manual
the green
Ready
light will go out. Now turn off the steam switch and wait (up to 2
minutes) until the green
Ready
light turns back on, indicating steam re-
pressurization.
h.
Switch on the steam again, and set the steam
Volume
regulator as required –
generally this would be slightly below maximum.
i.
Press and hold the cleanser trigger switch on the pistol-grip until liquid flows from
the nozzle; this will prime the cleanser/water function. (The vacuum trigger switch
has a locking device to prevent over use of the vacuum. This is located on the
pistol grip above the vacuum trigger switch. Slide the locking device from right to
left to lock and left to right to unlock). The
GVC-2200-V
is now ready for use.
4.6 Connecting the accessories
a.
Select the most appropriate accessories according to the intended application. All
the accessories (except the small round brushes) can be connected to the
extensions as well as to the pistol-grip. The accessories connect with a locking clip
system and the procedure is always the same.
b.
The pistol-grip and extension wands have locking clips. Turn the clips clockwise
(when viewed facing the pistol-grip) to open the lock and turn counter-clockwise to
close the lock.
c.
Insert the selected accessory fully onto pistol grip or extension and rotate the
locking clip clockwise to secure both parts. Check that both parts are tightly
connected by gently trying to pull them apart.
4.7 To start cleaning
Check that the steam flow is appropriate, but not excessive, for the accessory and
application. If necessary, adjust the steam volume regulator accordingly.
Principal rule of steam cleaning:
Use only as much steam as you actually need.
Effective cleaning is generally obtained through the combination of heat, slight
moisture, agitation and (possibly) cleanser.
Too much steam will soak the cleaning area, and may reduce cleaning efficiency.
Some cleaning applications may require the use of cleanser. The injection of cleanser,
using the black toggle switch, significantly reduces the steam volume through heat
absorption, so a higher steam volume may be needed. Once the cleanser function is
primed, just a short press of the toggle switch is sufficient to inject cleanser into the
steam. Using more cleanser than necessary wastes cleanser and reduces the steam
(and cleaning) efficiency. Practice should indicate the optimum mix for each different
application.
Note: when cleaning with the steam
Volume
regulator fully opened, the steam pressure
will decrease more rapidly.
During use the green (
Ready
) light will turn off and on automatically, indicating that the
GVC-2200-V
is reheating and re-pressurizing.
