[. . . ] STEAM CLEANING KIT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MODELS: SC75 SC76 SC125 SC150 SC165 PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE Thank you for purchasing an Earlex Steam Cleaning Kit. In order to obtain the best results please read the instructions before commencing any work. WILL ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT IF USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSES THAN THOSE DETAILED HEREIN. RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 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. [. . . ] Having prepared the area, plug the boiler unit in and wait for steam to appear at the accessory head. 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. It is generally better, and easier, to pull rather than push the head across heavy pile carpets. Use only one third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging of the fibres. The Floor Cleaner can also be used on other types of flooring such as ceramic, cork, marble, 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 interiors, 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 temperatures. If whilst using the sink unblocker, you see steam escaping from the safety valve on the boiler unit, you may have blocked the tube by pushing it too hard into a blockage. DO NOT FORCE SAFETY VALVE SHUT - switch off the boiler unit, remove the sink unblocker tube and clean with a small screwdriver, stiff wire or knitting needle. Once steam is coming out under the surface of the water you will hear a rattle as the steam causes considerable vibration. The combination of heat and vibration will loosen and dissolve the blockage. Once the blockage starts to clear, water should be run through while the sink unblocker is still operating to flush out the blockage. IMPORTANT Some upholstery, fabrics or soft furnishings have stain resistant treatments, which have varying active lives before breakdown. Accordingly it is best to try a small area that is normally unseen, then allow 24 hours to check whether the steam has any unusual effects on the fabric material. You only require a small amount of steam to clean, and soaking can leave water marks or cause bleed through from linings etc. Fit the cleaning toweI to the head in the same way as the Floor Cleaner (see page 5). [. . . ] The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
