CASTORS (MODEL SC150 AND SC165 OPTIONAL) The castors are packed separately. Turn the boiler upside down and insert the 3 castors. These should be pushed in hard until they stop. Once installed these remain in place permanently. FILLING SC75 (see Fig.1) Remove elbow filler cap and fill unit to Max. level indicator with clean - preferably hot water.
FLOOR CLEANER IMPORTANT Some carpets have stain resistant treatments, which have varying active Iives before breakdown. Accordingly it is best to try a small area of carpet that is normally unseen, then allow 24 hours to check whether the steam has any unusual effects on the carpet material, e.g. white streaks. If this happens DO NOT CONTINUE USE - Check with your carpet supplier for further advice. Used correctly the floor cleaner will refresh your carpet by removing surface grime, pet hairs etc.
JET NOZZLE Connect the universal handle to the jet nozzle head. 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. Beware of hot water discharge prior to steam emission. 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.
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.
