User manual EARLEX SC150B

[. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ] Fit the cleaning towel to the head by placing the towel over the floor cleaner head and pulling drawstring tight. The drawstring can be secured at the back of the floor cleaner (Fig. 4). Before using the Floor Cleaner, use a vacuum cleaner to pick up the larger dirt and grit particles. Having prepared the area, start the unit and wait for steam to appear at the accessory head. Now begin to move the Floor Cleaning 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 head across heavy pile carpets. Use only one third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging of the fibres. For extra towels, please use the spares order form at the back of this booklet. 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 Fig. 4 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. 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. Select the scraper head or brush to fit the nozzle end if required and push on to the nozzle. PIug the boiler unit in and wait for steam to appear at the accessory head. This accessory can be used for cleaning all round the house, stoves, cupboards, work surfaces, Cleans lawnmowers, toilets, sinks, lawnmowers etc. It both cleans and disinfects Defrosts freezers use with scraper at the same time. It can also be used to defrost your freezer in minutes with no inconvenience. Check with fridge/freezer manufacturer for advice before use. ACCESSORIES WINDOW/TILE CLEANER IMPORTANT - You should only proceed at your own risk.
