immediately.
Failure to do so can result in severe
overheating, complete element failure and void
your guarantee.
Block boiler unit securely if using on stairs.
Always protect areas beneath the boiler likely
to be damaged by heat. 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 steam plate at anyone.

body, beware of hot drips and regularly empty
collected condensation from plate - especially when

device) rated at 30mA is fitted into the mains supply
socket for added protection against electric shock.

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. Steam is being generated at 100˚C. Do not
use on any surfaces that cannot stand this temperature e.g. Draylon®, delicate fabrics etc. Always test a small
area of the material - preferably a portion that is normally unseen - and allow to dry before starting the full
cleaning task.
Do not soak materials being cleaned. Only light application of steam is required.
