STORING THE UNIT
Caddy
You will find it easiest to locate the Extension Tubes first, followed
by the 4 Main Attachments.
a) Slide the tubes into their apertures at the front of the Caddy.
Insert the button end first and slide the tubes through the Caddy
until the Release Button aligns and locates into it’s docking
aperture.
b) Now place the 4 Main Attachments into the space between the
2 Extension Tubes. You will find it easiest to place the Floor Cleaner to the back of
the Caddy with the Window/Tile Cleaner in the middle and the Upholstery/Garment
Steamer at the front. The Garment Attachment Rest should be laid on top of the other 3 attachments.
(Garment Attachment Rest not shown in illustration for clarity.)
Steam Unit
a) Ensure that the Strap is fully retracted and
clipped back into position.
b) Ensure the Water Tank is emptied.
With the Water Tank removed, press the Steam
Release Button to run the unit. As soon as you
hear a loud buzzing sound from the Steam Unit, release the Steam Release Button. This will purge
the Steam Unit of water and reduce the risk of limescale build up.
c) Slide the Steam Unit into the center of the Caddy until the yellow Steam Unit Release
Latch, locks into place.
d) Take the Power Cord, and coil it tightly around the base of the
Steam Unit so that after 4
1 /
2
turns the plug can be stored in the front
recess. Then coil the hose 1 1 /
2
turns until the Handle parks into it’s
Holster. Press down the Handle Release Button and push the Handle
into the Holster so that the release button locks into its docking aperture.
The unit can now be carried either by the Holster or by the Plug Storage Recess. The unit can be
stored on the flat or be leaned against a wall.
DE-SCALING
The information below, only applies in hard water areas or where some lime scale is evident.
To keep your Earlex Steam Caddy “boiler” working at its best, you will need to use a de-scaling
solution to reduce the effects of “lime scale” build up within the boiler. Proprietary de-scaling products
can be used, however, they need to be clearly marked that they are suitable for Kettles, Coffee
Makers, Steam Irons etc. We would also recommend that you use a liquid de-scaler to prevent any
possible clogging up of the internal pipes.
Before de-scaling, move appliance to a well ventilated area.
When de-scaling, place the nozzle only (26) into a bucket containing around 40/50mm of clean warm
water, this will prevent any fumes that may be given off by the de-scaler. A “popping” sound may be
heard from the bucket, this is due to the hot steam mixing with the warm water. After de-scaling the
unit, always run the unit with clean water to remove any lasting de-scaler residue from within the boiler
and pipes.
For maximum efficiency of the boiler this process should be repeated every 8 hours of use.
WHEN USING ANY DE-SCALER PRODUCT ALWAYS ABIDE BY THE MANUFACTURES
INSTRUCTIONS.
