SAFETY RULES

●Keep equipment away from children and pets.

●If using the unit on stairs or at a height, always ensure that it has been properly blocked to prevent it falling off.

●Steam is produced at 100˚C. Be careful, wear protective clothing and protect your hands with heat resistant gloves or mitts.

●Never point the steam at anyone.

●Never use unit outside when raining.

●Do not overfill water tank.

●Do not stand on the unit or the hose.

●Do not pull the unit by the Mains Lead, only by the Hose.

●Do not allow water or steam to enter light switches or power points.

●Do not leave unit unattended.

●Use only standard tap water. Never add detergents or chemicals for cleaning.

●Extreme care must be taken when using in bathrooms. Always be aware of electrocution from stored water in baths or sinks.

●It is recommended that a RCD (residual current device) rated at 30mA is fitted into the mains supply socket for added protection against electric shock.

●Use only genuine Earlex replacement parts, unless otherwise stated.

●Never direct steam towards equipment that contains electrical components.

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.
