To disconnect, press the button again and pull the two parts apart. NOTE : Connect the fl oor brush to the tubes by using the angle adaptor. Step 2 When the angle adapter isn’t attached to the fl oor brush, keep the brush with the bristles up in your left hand. Turn the angle adaptor downward and place it in the opening at the back of the fl oor brush. Now turn the angle adaptor 180°. Step 3 Place the plug in the socket. To heat up cold water will take about 8-10 minutes. When using hot water the heat up time will shorten. Attach a cloth to the fl oor brush. You should use a white terry cloth to absorb dirt and to protect delicate surfaces. This can also be used to clean vertical surfaces. IMPORTANT : when the cloth is too thin, the bristles may break through the cloth. When you don’t have a thick cloth available use two cloths. ATTACHING THE ACCESSORIES TO THE FLEXIBLE TUBE Squeegee Very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramics, tiles or marble surfaces. How to use? Place the squeegee on the handle or use the extension tubes for hard to reach places. Steam abundantly, clean with a soft spong and remove excess water and dirt with the squeegee. ATTENTION : prevent sudden temperature changes when cleaning the windows to prevent glass breaking. Concentrator Very effi cient for cleaning hard to reach places. Ideal for radiators, doorposts, roll- down shutters or sanitary fi xtures. The concentrator fi ts directly on the handle and can also be used with the extension tubes. Detail brushes Place the detail brushes on the concentrator, which can be connected directly on theDO230SR handle or on the extension tubes. Can be used to clean seams of tiles, ceramics or marble. TIPS Water

• When tap water is too hard, use distilled water when you clean steam clean materials with a light colour to prevent stains caused by scale. IMPORTANT : Don’t add detergent, perfumes, oils or other chemicals to the water. Use tap water or distilled water when the tap water is too hard. Temperature The temperature of the steam at the end of the concentrator is about 104°C to 116°C. At a distance of 25 cm from the end of the concentrator the temperature is about 38°C. Use of cloths

Use white clothes of 100 % pure cotton terry cloth for the best result.

Place the fl oor brush on the cloth and fold the cloth around both smallest sides of the brush. Make sure the long sides of the brush will not be covered by the cloth.

Attach the cloth under the hooks on top of the brush.

The use of a cloth is necessary to absorb moisture and dirt. Always use dry cloths. Wash the cloths with a strong detergent and bleach.

When using a wash softener during washing, the scent of the wash softener will

spread during steaming. ATTENTION : The cloth around the brush can become very hot and cause burns. Only touch the cloth when it has cooled down. Working effi ciently

Clean vertical surfaces always from the top down, this way the dirty water cannot soil already cleaned surfaces.

Avoid moving the brush back and forth during cleaning.

Use the detail brushes fi rst for cleaning hard to reach places and corners.

Remove dirt as quickly as possible, otherwise it will dry out and get stuck to the surface again. ADVICE CONCERNING THE USE OF THE STEAM CLEANER wood, vinyl and marble fl oors Use the fl oor brush with a white cloth. Move the brush as you are mopping. When the cloth is soiled, allow to cool, then turn the cloth over or replace it with a clean cloth.DO230SR If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the brush over the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood fl oor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture build up in the wood. By cleaning with the cloth over the brush, you will not affect the shine on the fl oor. To strip wax Use fl oor brush for open areas, detail brush for corners or tight areas – no towel, slow strokes. Work a small area at a time – remove the emulsifi ed wax from the fl oor. When all of the wax has been stripped, immediately clean the fl oor and brushes with water before residue has a chance to harden on them. Go back over the stripped area with the fl oor brush with a towel to remove any remaining residue before waxing. To clean waxed fl oors Wrap clean towel around the fl oor brush, brush quickly. This will cause the dirt to be removed, but not the wax. Vinyl fl oors Do not allow the heat to build up on any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl. Tile fl oors Use the concentrator with the detail brush attached to an extension. Have the fl oor brush with cloth attached ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the detail brush. Remove the detail brush and attach the fl oor brush, move the brush across the fl oor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. For areas of tile that are very dirty, remove the towel and agitate with the brush. Do not let the area dry before you wipe with a towel. Spot cleaning (carpets) Use the concentrator with or without the detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with detail brush or clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried. Always test colour fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning. If your Ultra Steam Shark II fails to remove stubborn stains a commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use. Upholstery Use the fl oor brush attached directly to the hand grip with a clean white terry cloth. Use fast, light strokes to avoid getting the fabric wet. Be patient with stubborn spots. Work on a spot gently for no more than a minute at a time, then wait fi ve minutes forDO230SR the area to dry and repeat. Use circular movements or back-and-forth and side-to- side movements to get all sides of the surface fi bres then blot with a towel. Finish by brushing in one direction to will give the fabric a uniform appearance. Caution : always determine the colour-fastness on any fabric-especially with reds or blues- by taking a clean, moist, hand towel and gently rubbing a small area as far down on the back or other out of the way place on the furniture as possible. If colour comes off on the towel, you may need to have the piece dry cleaned. Window, glass surfaces and mirrors Use the dual edge glass and tile squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using the the top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off to clean the water from the glass. To do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the surface. fi berglass or stainless steel surfaces Use the fl oor brush or detail brush. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapor will emulsify the dirt and grease on the surface. Follow behind with a terry cloth towel over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue. TIP

an old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water after it is cleaned. Soap scum Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the surface with a small amount of water afterwards or go back over it once more with a clean terry cloth towel. NOTE

soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the fl oor brush with no towel fi rst to break up this surface – or spray or wipe fi rst with lemon, vinegar or seltzer soda water to soften the minerals. Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to granulate on the surface. The surface will have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the open brush again and re-clean. Garden furniture Use any of the brushes depending on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by wiping with a towel. Blinds Use the detail brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for colour fastness on fabric blinds before using. Finish by wiping with a towel.DO230SR Bathroom areas To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the detail brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The dual edge window/tile squeegee will be the most effi cient way to clean the rest of the area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to penetrate the surface. This is especially helpful in the shower area if there is tile or grout. Wipe with towel. Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the steam cleaner. To clean sanitary fi xtures, use the concentrator with or without detail brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue. To clean the sink and faucets, use detail brush then fi nish by wiping with a towel. Exterior areas To clean inside your car, use the fl oor brush with a terry cloth towel attached to clean upholstery and interior areas, just as in the home. You should not expose the bristles to leather – use only the brush with the terry cloth attached. For Detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the detail brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by applying the vapor with the concentrator and following with a paper towel. To clean bicycles, use the detail brush. To clean equipment, use the detail brush, depending on the surface area. Finish by wiping down with a towel. Artifi cial plants Use the concentrator with a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt. Clothing A vapor cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabric. Simply “vaporize” the surface from a distance (30-45 cm). The dry vapor removes wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet like ordinary fabric steamers do. Nicotine and tar Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar fi lm is touched by a hot terry cloth clipped over the fl oor brush, it immediately dissolves and fl ows into the towel. You can remove it from fl at surfaces as fast as you can move the brush over the surface. Removing wax, tar, etc. Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This isDO230SR accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the concentrator. NOTE : always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before you apply vapor to it. Refrigerator Use the concentrator to blow away dirt in the ice machine and on door seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack the seals as chemicals often do. Can openers and other kitchen equipment can be easily cleaned with the detail brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Mould stains around door gaskets can be removed with the detail brush. NOTE : when cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning. To clean counter tops, use the fl oor brush with a terry cloth attached. For heavily soiled areas, use the brush without the terry cloth towel fi rst in order to loosen the debris, then follow with a terry cloth attached to fi nish. NOTE : Wipe with a towel immediately before the cleaned area dries. When cleaning the oven, use the detail brush to clean around the elements and drip trays. Use the detail brush for cracks, crevices and hard to reach areas. Hints The Ultra Steam Shark II has many uses that have not been mentioned. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit.It is most helpful to always have a terry cloth or paper towel ready to use for removal of moisture and residue. 100% white cotton towels work best. You can clean the brushes with your steam cleaner. To clean the fl oor brush, hold at one end and use the concentrator to simply blow off dirt into the garbage can. When cleaning the detail brush, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.

RINSING OUT THE STEAM CLEANER

Normally, a periodic rinse of your Ultra Steam Shark II will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10 – 15 tankfulls, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

DESCALING YOUR STEAM CLEANERDO230SR

If the tap water in your area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning you should descale your unit after 10 – 15 tankfulls. Step 1 Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to cool. Step 2 Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/fi ller cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler. Step 3 After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.

ATTACHING THE SHOULDER STRAP

Using the detachable shoulder strap allows for greater freedom of movement when both hands are needed for various cleaning tasks. To attach the shoulder strap to the steam cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap hooks onto the connection rings on the unit body. When using the Ultra Steam Shark II with the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting the unit excessively as this may cause water to enter the hose and be discharged along with the steam.DO230SRLINEA 2000 - Industriezone Klein Gent - Bouwelven 12A - 2280 Grobbendonk - Tel 014/21.71.91 - Fax : 014/21,54,63
