This accessory can be used for cleaning all round the house, stoves, cupboards, work surfaces, toilets, sinks, lawnmowers etc. It both cleans and disinfects 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. Cleans lawnmowers, Defrosts freezers use with scraper sInK unblocKeR tubE (optIonaL accessorY -noT IncludeD IN alL KIts) Connect the universal handle to the jet nozzle head and push one end of the sink unblocker tube into the hole in the end of the jet nozzle. Thread the sink unblocker tube through the strainer in the plug hole to be unblocked. PIug the boiler unit in and once steaming, further insert the sink unblocker tube towards the blockage. 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. upholsterY cleaneR (optIonaL accessorY -noT IncludeD IN alL KIts) 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. If so, dO noT contInue. check with your fabric or furnishing supplier for further advice. do not allow the material to become soaked. you only require a small amount of steam to clean, and soaking can leave water marks or cause bleed through from linings etc. Connect the universal handle to the upholstery cleaner head. Fit the cleaning toweI to the head in the same way as the Floor Cleaner (see page 5). Spare towels can be purchased from Earlex. 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. curtains & clothing The upholstery cleaner head can also be used for removing the creases from hanging curtains and to clean and remove creases from overcoats, suits, jackets, trousers, etc. 6 largE steaM platE -wallpapeR strIppInG (optIonaL accessorY -noT IncludeD IN alL KIts) cautIon! Check the state of your plaster before starting work. Steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly bonded plaster -which also loosens readily if cracked, holed or if the steam plate is held in place too long after the paper is soaked. Weak plaster can normally be detected by tapping a few areas of wall. A hollow sound indicates that you should proceed only with extreme care -stopping immediately if you hear a cracking sound or plaster starts to break loose. The steam stripper is safe for drywall/plaster board surfaces but whatever the material, it is always wise to check a small area before starting work properly. Always obtain advice from an expert if unsure. preparatIoN To achieve fastest paper removal always gently score the areas to be stripped. With heavy embossed, vinyl coated or painted papers this is essential. Either use a proprietary perforator tool or alternatively score the paper with the edge of a wall scraper in a crisscross pattern with 150mm (6 inch) spacing. As with all decorating work be sure to protect carpets and furniture with covers. strIppIng: Remember to check a small area first. Connect the large steam plate to the steam hose. Once steam is being produced at the hand plate you are ready to begin. Operation is simple for both right and left handed people. Simply hold the steam plate flat against the wallpaper for approx. 10 seconds. Now move the plate to the spot immediately next to the one just steamed -from which the paper should now easily come away with a little help from a wall scraper. Working this way should enable continuous paper removal although it may be necessary to steam for longer periods with some papers, or if not completely removed first time. smalL steaM platE (optIonaL accessorY -noT IncludeD IN alL KIts) The small steamplate is used in the same way as the large steam plate to strip wallpaper in awkward areas not easily reached with the large steam plate such as around door frames, in corners, etc. Always wear a glove or mitt for added protection. otheR useS foR thE steaM platE artex®: Normally Artex® can be removed using the same method as for wallpaper although the steaming time will be longer. vinyl floor tiles: Vinyl floor tiles can aIso be removed if the plate is left long enough for the hea...
