using the Carrying Handle (8). Do not use the Hose (11) to pull the steam cleaner
• When using the Extension Tubes each time you stop operating the Trigger some
water may cool in the Extension Tubes and be released as water when you start
operating the Trigger again. It may be necessary to keep a cloth handy just to
capture this water before steam is restored
• The Pressurised Tank Cap (5) cannot be unscrewed when the steam cleaner is
pressurised. Do not attempt to unscrew as it may be damaged if forced
• Do not store the cleaner where it will be exposed to freezing temperatures

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from power supply before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning.
WARNING: This steam cleaner has no user serviceable internal parts.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This
advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine
with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to
blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use
alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Descaling
• To prevent the build-up of lime scale deposits in the tank use a proprietary
descaler solution suitable for a steam cleaner or a white vinegar solution.The
frequency will depend on the hardness level of your water supply. A very light
deposit of lime scale can be removed by pouring a small amount of descaler
solution into the tank and swilling the solution around the tank and pouring
out. Then rinse the tank with clean water. Frequent descaling is recommended
to keep the steam cleaner in good operating condition. A frequency of once
a month is recommended for hard water areas. In hard water areas it is
recommended to empty the tank after use to help reduce the build-up of scale.
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray
lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or
visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised Silverline service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of electrical products that
