Silverline 1500W Steam Cleaning System - Manual (Page 6)

Intended Use
This steam cleaning system uses a no-chemical steam cleaning technique to clean,
sanitise and restore the appearance of many surfaces. The lack of required chemicals
including detergents and bleaches means a real saving in cost, less damage to the
environment with waste and reduced chance of allergies in the home. If the steam
cleaner is used correctly and these instructions are followed it should last for many years
of service.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are
missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
Filling the tank
WARNING: Never try to unscrew the Pressurised Tank Cap (5) during use, the tank is
under pressure
1. Ensure that the steam cleaner is unplugged and cool, and that all steam has been
released. To release steam, press the Trigger (9)
2. Place the steam cleaner on a level surface and push down firmly on the Pressurised
Tank Cap. The cap can then be unscrewed
3. Use the Measuring Jug (20) to fill up to 1200ml max of clean water. Pour this
carefully into the steam cleaner using the Funnel (14)
Note: Do not over fill, do not fill to the maximum level of the tank. Overfilling the tank could
cause the steam cleaner to malfunction dangerously
4. Reinstall the Pressurised Tank Cap and tighten fully. Note: The cap must be pushed
down to tighten
Notes:
• Never add additives to the water used in the steam cleaner. It should be filled with
clean water only
• Do not use the water from a condenser tumble dryer which may contain chemicals
Connecting accessories
• One or both of the Extension Tubes (22) can be used to extend the length of the Handle
Connector (8). The Extension Tubes click into position. Depress the button then pull
apart to separate
NOTE: Only fit the Extension Tubes when extended reach is required
• The Jet Nozzle (15), Small Brush (16), Detail Brush (17) and Squeegee (13) are push-fit
onto the Accessory Connector (19). See Fig. A. The Accessory Connector attaches to
the Handle Connector or Extension Tube. Simply pull apart to remove
• To use the Large Brush (12) attach to the Large Brush Connector (18) by attaching the
large brush at 180° opposite to its normal angle for use, to the large brush connector.
Reverse to detach after use. See Fig B.
• The Large Brush has two clamps for attaching a cloth or small towel. One Cloth (21)
is provided but most general purpose cloths are suitable to replace the supplied cloth.
Always use a cloth if you wish to protect a surface from scratches or not have steam
directly contact the surface being cleaned
Accessories Storage
The Accessories Compartment (1) allows storage of all the accessories except the Large
Brush (12) and Extension Tubes (22). When transporting it is handy to attach both Extension
tubes and the Large Brush to the Handle Connector and store all other accessories in the
Accessories Compartment so the complete system can be transported as one unit. Use the
Carrying Handle (6) when transporting the steam cleaner.
Operating Instructions
Using Your Steam Cleaner
Notes
• Always ensure that the materials or surfaces to be cleaned are suitable for the steam
cleaner
• Follow the instructions in this manual regarding cleaning of materials
• If no information is available, always do a test on an inconspicuous area of the material.
Should any damage appear, do not use the steam cleaner
• Always use the correct accessories for the material and area to be cleaned
• Always use a cloth with the Large Brush (12) if you need to protect a surface from
scratches
• On vertical surfaces, work from the top down. Put a cloth at the base to collect any
spillage or dirt
• Use the Extension Tubes (22) only when necessary
• Spray the steam onto small areas at a time; concentrated action dissolves grime
more easily
• If dirt or grime proves difficult to remove, treat the surface directly with steam jet
• To remove stains from upholstered furniture or carpets, spray the steam on the stain
then gently run the Large Brush (12) over the surface without exerting any pressure.
Allow the surface to dry. If the result is not satisfactory, repeat the procedure
• On delicate surfaces, such as wood surfaces, spray with a small quantity of steam and
dry immediately or apply steam to a cloth and clean the surface with the cloth
• Clean carpets with a vacuum cleaner before using the steam cleaner
Note: The steam jet cannot remove lime deposits
