FLOOR CLEANER

IMPORTANT

Some carpets have stain resistant treatments, which have varying active Iives before breakdown. Accordingly it is best to try a small area of carpet that is normally unseen, then allow 24 hours to check whether the steam has any unusual effects on the carpet material, e.g. white streaks. If this happens DO NOT CONTINUE USE - Check with your carpet supplier for further advice.

Used correctly the floor cleaner will refresh your carpet by removing surface grime, pet hairs etc. leaving the carpet looking brighter.

It is not a dirt extraction system, so cannot necessarily remove deep stains or grease. Attempting to make it do this by longer action of steam may result in watermarking or stain- ing.

Cleaning carpets

Connect the universal handle and long handle to the floor cleaner head. Fit the cleaning toweI to the head by placing the towel over the floor cleaner head and pulling the drawstring tight. The drawstring can be secured at the back of the floor cleaner. (See diagrams to right) Before using the floor cleaner, use a vacuum to pick up the larger dirt and grit particles.

Having prepared the area, plug the boiler unit in and wait for steam to appear at the acces- sory head. Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission. Now begin to move the floor cleaner head over the carpet at a steady pace. If there are stains on the carpet pause for a few seconds to allow the steam time to penetrate.

Do not soak the carpet. Glide the floor cleaner over the surface. It is generally better, and easier, to pull rather than push the head across heavy pile carpets. Do not try to scrub the surface.

The towel will collect the dirt. Both sides of the towel can be used. Used towels can be washed out and reused. Wash at 90˚C for maximum longevity. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner. Use only one third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging of the fibres.

Spare towels can be purchased from Earlex.

The Floor Cleaner can also be used on other types of flooring such as ceramic, cork, mar- ble, linoleum, stone, parquet etc. If you have an area to clean which has joints (such as tiles) it may be useful to use the brush attachment of the jet nozzle in order to clean completely. Be especially careful with parquet - older oak floors are very tough but on some newer floors steam may cause the blocks to swell. Always take advice from the manufacturer of the floor covering before proceeding to use steam. One useful point to note is that steam will cause animal hairs to roll into easily removable balls. This attachment can be used on car interi- ors, motor homes, painted doors, walls, louvres etc.

WINDOW/TILE CLEANER

IMPORTANT - You should only proceed at your own risk.

When cleaning exterior glass be extra careful not to pick-up any grit on the rubber blade - which could cause scratches.

Antique glass and stained glass may be brittle and can crack under extreme temper- atures.

Do not use on glass at temperatures below 0˚C.

Connect the universal handle and long handle to the window/tile cleaner head. Select the length of handle required (if any).

Plug the boiler unit in and wait for steam to appear at the accessory head. Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission. Steam will be emitted from the apertures on the accessory head. Move down the windows and clean with the rubber blade as the accesso- ry travels down the surface. Always pull the accessory towards the handle so that the blade is acting after the steam. Do not push the accessory away from the handle. After you have completely finished cleaning, switch off the unit and clean the glass or tiles from top to bot- tom with the rubber blade only.

Steam will completely remove dust, film or greasy marks from windows, mirrors and patio doors. The window/tile cleaner will remove soap and grease residues but cannot remove deposits of scale. To remove black marks from grouting or corners use the jet nozzle with brush or scraper attachment.
