DE-SCALING

The information below, only applies in hard water areas or where some lime scale is evident.

To keep your Earlex Steam Caddy “boiler” working at its best, you will need to use a de-scaling solution to reduce the effects of “lime scale” build up within the boiler. Proprietary de-scaling products can be used, however, they need to be clearly marked that they are suitable for Kettles, Coffee Makers, Steam Irons etc. We would also recommend that you use a liquid de-scaler to prevent any possible clogging up of the internal pipes.

Before de-scaling, move appliance to a well ventilated area.

When de-scaling, place the nozzle only (26) into a bucket containing around 40/50mm of clean warm water, this will prevent any fumes that may be given off by the de-scaler. A “popping” sound may be heard from the bucket, this is due to the hot steam mixing with the warm water. After de- scaling the unit, always run the unit with clean water to remove any lasting de-scaler residue from within the boiler and pipes.

For maximum efficiency of the boiler this process should be repeated every 8 hours of use.

WHEN USING ANY DE-SCALER PRODUCT ALWAYS ABIDE BY THE MANUFACTURES INSTRUCTIONS.

STORING THE UNIT

Caddy

You will find it easiest to locate the Extension Tubes first, followed by the Main Attachments.

a)Slide the tubes into their apertures at the front of the Caddy. Insert the button end first and slide the tubes through the Caddy until the Release Button aligns and locates into it’s docking aperture.

b)Now place the Main Attachments into the space between the 2

Extension Tubes. You will find it easiest to place the Floor Cleaner to the back of the Caddy with the Window/Tile Cleaner in the middle and the Upholstery/Clothes Steamer at the front. The Clothing Attachment Rest should be laid on top of the other three attachments. (Clothing Attachment Rest not shown in illustration for clarity.)

Boiler

a)Ensure that the Strap is fully retracted and clipped back into position.

b)Ensure the Water Tank is emptied.

With the Water Tank removed, press the Steam Release Button to run the unit. As soon as you

hear a loud buzzing sound from the Boiler, release the Steam Release Button. This will purge the Boiler of water and reduce the risk of limescale build up.

c)Slide the Boiler into the centre of the Caddy until the yellow Boiler Release Latch, locks into place.

d)Take the Mains Lead, and coil it tightly around the base of the Boiler

so that after 41/2 turns the plug can be stored in the front recess. Then coil the hose 11/2 turns until the Handle parks into it’s Holster. Press down the Handle Release Button and push the Handle into the Holster so that the release button locks into its docking aperture.

The unit can now be carried either by the Holster or by the Plug Storage Recess. The unit can be stored on the flat or be leaned against a wall.
