SAFETY RULES

Keep equipment away from children and pets.

Ensure boiler is placed on a flat level surface, and should the boiler become tilted in use - level again immediately. Failure to do so can result in severe over heating, complete element failure and void your guarantee.

Block boiler unit securely if using on stairs.

The boiler becomes hot in use. Move only by using the carrying handle.

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

Never point hose or accessories at anyone.

Never remove filler cap or detach hose whilst unit is operating.

Never block the safety valve.

Never use outside when raining.

Switch off and wait for 2 minutes before removing filler cap to refill boiler.

Do not overfill.

Allow to cool completely before emptying boiler.

Do not stand on boiler or hose.

Do not drag or try to move boiler by pulling the mains lead.

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

Do not leave the unit unattended.

Use only standard tap water. Never add detergents or chemicals.

Extreme care must be taken if the unit is used in bathrooms. Always be aware of danger of electrocution from stored water in baths and sinks.

Never change the accessories when the unit is operating.

Always store upright.

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

PROTECT YOUR HOME!

The heat generated by the boiler unit can mark carpets, soft furnishings, table tops, cabinets etc.

To prevent this we recommend placing the unit on a wooden board, tray or other barrier - making sure it will not slip off one side or tilt during use.

Dust sheets or newspapers are not suitable heat protectors for delicate surfaces.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning and do not use this product on Draylon® or similar materials. Some carpets have stain-resistant treatments which can break down so always test a small area first to make sure that there are no unusual effects. Do not soak materials being cleaned. Only light application of steam is required.

The boiler has been designed for safe use but the user must be acutely aware that at all times steam is being produced, and steam is hot, so be careful, wear protective clothing and protect your hands with heat resistant gloves or mitts.

Pure Steam will clean most types of surfaces with the power of steam. The individual tools are specifically designed for different applications. These tools are illustrated on page 3.

Pure Steam does not require detergents, chemicals or other cleaners, it cleans naturally with the action of steam. This powerful action also removes any traces of powder or liquid cleaners or detergents that have been previously used.

SAFETY CUT- OUT

A safety cut-out is fitted to prevent overheating of the element if water boils below the min. level.

If unit stops boiling during use this may be the cause. Wait for 2 minutes before removing filler cap then re-fill with water. The cut-out will self reset and steam be produced again within 19 minutes.

The cut-out will not protect the element if a part filled unit is tilted during use in a way which enables part of the element to be out of the water for longer than 15-20 seconds.

CHANGING TOOLS

Never remove the hose or change tools when the unit is plugged in. Wait 2 minutes after unplugging before changing tools. Screw the nut, which is on the end of the steam hose, onto the outlet of the tool

-hand tight only.
