SAFETY RULES
Keep equipment away from children and pets.
If using the unit on stairs or at a height, always ensure that it has been properly blocked to
prevent it falling off.
Steam is produced at 212˚F. Be careful, wear protective clothing and protect your hands with
heat resistant gloves or mitts.
Never point the steam at anyone.
Never use unit outside when raining.
Do not overfill water tank.
Do not stand on the unit or the hose.
Do not pull the unit by the Power Cord, only by the Hose.
Do not allow water or steam to enter light switches or power outlets.
Do not leave unit unattended.
Use only standard tap water. Never add detergents or chemicals.
Extreme care must be taken when using in bathrooms. Always be aware of the danger of
electrocution from stored water in baths or basins.
It is recommended that a G.F.I (Ground Fault Interrupter) rated at 30mA is fitted into the
mains supply socket for added protection against electric shock.
Use only genuine Earlex replacement parts.
Never direct steam towards equipment that contains electrical components.
CAUTION
STEAM IS HOT! Please be aware that steam is produced at 212˚F – so be careful, wear protective
clothing and protect your hands with heat resistant gloves or mitts. Be aware that during use,
condensing steam will result in a small amount of hot water dripping from the attachments. Take extra
care when cleaning with the attachments at higher levels, eg cleaning windows or tiles. When used
for removing creases from garments or drapes avoid water marks from dripping water by wiping the
attachments occasionally with a dry cloth. The exposed parts of the Steam Dynamo Pro that become
hot in use, and which the user is likely to touch in use, are colored RED as an extra warning. Never
touch these parts when the unit is in use. Any part of the Steam Dynamo Pro may be hotter than you
expect, so always take extra care during or after use.
You will see this symbol below the Steam Release button on the handle, to warn you about
the presence of steam.
Quality control checks in our factory may result in a very small residue of water in the steam hose of
the Steam Dynamo Pro. This is due to steam cooling in the hose. When you switch the unit on for the
first time (and every time thereafter) and before the Steam Ready light comes on, there may be a short
jet of hot water or steam ejected from the end of the tool, before or immediately after the Steam Button
is pressed. Drain this water into a container, until only steam is produced, before starting your cleaning
task.
Never submerge the end of the handle or extension tube (with or without attachments fitted) in water.
Cooling steam will draw water up into the hose.
USING STEAM ON DELICATE MATERIALS
Always check the suitability of materials before steam cleaning. Steam is being generated at 212˚F.
Do not use on any surfaces that cannot withstand this temperature e.g. Draylon®, velour, delicate
fabrics etc. Always test a small area of the material – preferably a portion that is normally unseen –
and allow it to dry before starting the full cleaning task.
Do not soak materials being cleaned. Only a light application of steam is required.
We do not recommend using this product on self adhesive vinyl tiles.

ABOUT YOUR EARLEX STEAM DYNAMO PRO
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing an Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro. It is a totally unique steam cleaning system
unlike any other currently available. It enables the user to complete numerous cleaning and other
tasks around the home, in the garden and in the car. We hope you will use the Earlex Steam Dynamo
Pro often to save you time, enhance the look of your home and keep it spotlessly clean.
The really unique aspect of the Steam Dynamo Pro is that you get three products in one. A hand held
steamer, a floor mounted steamer and an upholstery/garment steamer.
THE POWER & HYGIENE OF STEAM
The Steam Dynamo Pro will clean most surfaces and materials using only the power of steam. No
chemicals, detergents or cleaning fluids are required. This not only helps to protect the environment
but also saves the money normally spent on traditional cleaning products. The action of steam also
removes any traces of powder or liquid cleaners previously used.
Using the heat and power of steam, the Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro is extremely effective in
maintaining hygiene around your home. In the kitchen and bathroom, on carpets, and upholstery the
action of steam can kill off many common bacteria. E-coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa are among the bacteria that the Steam Dynamo Pro can banish from all
your living areas and give you peace of mind that your home is as clean as it can be.
WHERE TO USE YOUR STEAM CLEANER
The Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro can be used around your home to clean, brighten and restore the pile
in your carpets. Even tiled, stone and sealed hard wood floors can be cleaned to make them look
almost new. Clean and refresh the color of your soft furnishings and upholstery, and remove
unwanted creases and wrinkles from your garments and drapes. The Steam Dynamo Pro has been
cleverly designed to convert, very simply, to a garment steamer that gives very professional results.
With the instant steam availability and fast assembly as a garment steamer this means you can use
this product regularly to keep your clothes looking their best.
In the kitchen and bathroom the Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro will both clean and sanitize. Cleaning
around faucets, toilets, all sanitary ware and tiles, will both improve the looks and ensure these areas
are truly sanitized. Ceramic tiles will sparkle when soap scum is removed, mirrors too will look like
new. Removing burnt and caked on deposits from stoves becomes an easy task.

The Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro is an extremely useful tool. It will remove traffic film from windows,
clean venetian blinds and defrost freezers (check with freezer manufacturer). Outside of the home the
Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro can be used to clean the barbecue, the deck of your lawnmower, sterilize
soil and clean the interior of your car.
THREE STEAM CLEANERS IN ONE
Choosing how to use your Steam Dynamo Pro
The Steam Dynamo Pro is unique in that it can be used in three distinctly
different ways.
As a hand held cleaning tool with the Steam Unit carried over your shoulder.
When cleaning around the bathroom, some kitchen areas and some windows,
it is likely this will be the best way to use the Steam Dynamo Pro.
Or, with the Steam Unit fixed to the wheeled Caddy, free to be pulled behind you
on the floor as you work. If cleaning flooring, for example, it will definitely be
easier to use with the Caddy on the floor.
Or, as a garment steamer. The Steam Dynamo Pro quickly converts to allow
you to steam and clean your clothes in a professional way.
As you experiment with different jobs you will soon discover which way is best
for you.
GET TO KNOW YOUR STEAM CLEANER
The Steam Dynamo Pro is designed for fast action and is ready for use in less than a minute. It is
supplied with a range of different tools for different jobs. Take a little time to get to know these tools
and how they can best be used for your cleaning jobs.
Where towelling bonnets are supplied with some of the tools, dirt will be absorbed by the towelling
material, which is washable and can be replaced as necessary. Packs of replacement bonnets are
available from Earlex Inc or you can make your own from terry towelling.

Fitting the Steam Unit (1) to the Caddy (18)
Slide the Steam Unit into the center of the Caddy until the yellow Steam
Unit release latch (24) locks into place. To remove, press the Steam Unit
release latch down and slide the Steam Unit backwards.
Storing the Handle (11), Hose (10) & Power
Cord (17)
With the Steam Handle uncoiled in front of the unit
take the Power Cord, and coil it tightly around the
base of the Steam Unit above the steam hose
outlet so that after 41/2turns the plug can be stored in the front recess (22). Then coil the hose 11/2
turns until the Handle parks into its Holster (2). Press down the Handle Release Button (12) and push
the Handle into the Holster so that the release button locks into its location. To remove, simply depress
the release button and withdraw the Handle.
Storing and removing Extension Tubes (25)
Slide the Extension Tubes into the front of the Caddy, button end
first and slide the tubes through the Caddy until the Release
Button (20) aligns and fits into the location (19). To remove, simply
depress the release button and withdraw the Extension Tube.
Note: It will be easier to do this when the main attachments are
not stored in the Caddy.
Using the Shoulder Strap (33)
The Strap is used for the hand held function to
enable the user to carry the Steam Unit over the
shoulder. To unfasten the strap, release the popper
(6) and pull the strap out at the front end of the
Steam Unit until it is fully extended. The Steam Unit can now be hung over your shoulder.
Fitting the Extension Tubes & Attachments
There are 3 Main Attachments (27, 28, 29), 3 Mini Attachments (14, 15, 16), 2 Extension Tubes and
a Garment Attachment Rest to use with your Steam Dynamo Pro, depending on the job you want to
do. All attachments are fitted either to the Extension Tubes or directly to the Handle, which ever is
most suitable for the task in hand.
The Main Attachments and the Extension Tubes fit over the release button.
The Mini Attachments push tightly over just the front portion of the Handle or Extension Tube.

USING THE MAIN ATTACHMENTS
Floor Cleaner (27)
Some carpets have stain resistant treatments, which may be affected by steam cleaning. Try
cleaning a small area of carpet that is normally unseen, then allow 24 hours to check whether
there have been any unusual effects on the carpet, e.g white streaks. If this happens DO NOT
CONTINUE TO USE – Check with your carpet supplier for further advice.
On wax treated surfaces and floors the sheen may be removed by steam. Do not use on
unsealed wood as this could destroy the integrity of the wood grain. Always check a small area
first or check with the manufacturer.
The Floor Cleaner can be used in a number of ways and for a variety of purposes. You may need to
experiment to find the best method of cleaning. The three options of use are:
a) With bristles extended – no Bonnet being used
b) With bristles extended and a Bonnet (31) in use
c) No bristles extended and a Bonnet (31) in use
In general, option (a) is likely to be used on stone or tiled floors where there are areas needing more
vigorous action to clean thoroughly. This may, for instance, be the grouting between tiles that requires
the bristles to help clear out dirt or grime.
Option (b) would be the normal use for any stone, tiled or solid floor.
Option (c) is for normal carpeted areas.
The Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro Floor Cleaner can be changed from having
its bristles extended to not extended. This is achieved by repositioning the
center section of the Floor Cleaner. You will see in this center section there
are 2 finger grip cut outs which enable you to remove the section
completely. Once removed, rotate the section through 180˚and re-locate it
in the Floor Cleaner. You will see the position of the bristles has changed.
Fitting the Bonnet (31) to the Floor Cleaner (27)
To fit the Bonnet, open the two yellow clips. Lay the Bonnet on a flat
surface and place the Floor Cleaner in the center of the Bonnet.
Fold the Bonnet around the Floor Cleaner with the nap facing
outwards and secure it in position by re-fixing the clips in place,
making sure the Bonnet is pulled tight over the face of the Floor Cleaner.
Used correctly the Floor Cleaner will refresh and brighten your floor by removing surface grime, pet
hairs etc. It is not a dirt extraction system, so it cannot remove deep stains or grease. Before using
the Floor Cleaner, use a vacuum to pick up the larger dirt and grit particles. If there are stains on the
carpet, pause for a few seconds to allow the steam to penetrate but do not
use excessive steam as this could result in watermarking or permanent
staining.
DO NOT SOAK THE SURFACE! - Glide the Floor Cleaner over the surface.
It is generally better and easier, to pull rather than push the head across
heavy pile carpets. Do not scrub the surface unless this is on tiles or stone.
Used Bonnets can be washed out and re-used. Spare Bonnets are available
from Earlex Inc or you can make your own using Terry type material.

Uses for your Floor Cleaner
The Floor Cleaner can be used on many types of surfaces such as ceramic, marble, linoleum, stone,
parquet etc. Be especially careful with parquet – older oak floors are very tough but on some newer
floors steam may cause the blocks to swell. Always take advice from the manufacturer of the floor
covering before proceeding to use steam. One useful point to note is that steam will cause animal
hairs, that have collected on floors and fabrics to roll into easily removable balls.
This attachment can also be used on car interiors, RV’s, painted doors, walls, louvers etc.
We do not recommend using this product on self adhesive vinyl tiles.
Window/Tile Cleaner (28)
When cleaning exterior glass be careful not to pick
up grit particles on the rubber blade as this could
scratch the glass.
CAUTION - Antique glass and stained glass may be
brittle and can crack under extreme temperatures.
Do not use on glass when the temperature is below
32˚F.
The Window/Tile Cleaner can be used fitted directly onto the Hose Handle or fitted to one or both
Extension Tubes, whichever is best for the job in hand.
As the attachment is moved down the window (mirror or tiles) and the Steam Release Button is
pressed, the rubber blade will clean away the dirt as it wipes the surface after the steam has been
applied. After you have completely finished cleaning, release the Steam Button and clean the surface
from top to bottom with the rubber blade only.
Steam will completely remove dust, film or greasy marks from windows, mirrors, tiles and patio doors.
It will remove soap and grease residues but cannot remove deposits of scale. To remove black marks
from grouting or difficult corners use the mini attachments, Jet Nozzle, Brush Nozzle or Scraper
Nozzle.
Upholstery Cleaner/Garment Steamer (29)
IMPORTANT – Some upholstery, fabrics and soft
furnishings have stain resistant treatments, which,
may be affected by steam cleaning. Try cleaning a
small area of material that is normally unseen, then
allow 24 hours before checking whether there have
been any unusual effects on the material. If so, DO
NOT CONTINUE. Check with your material supplier
for further advice. Do not allow the material to become soaked. You only require a small
amount of steam to clean, and soaking can leave water marks or cause bleed through linings
etc.
The Upholstery Cleaner can be used either with or without the Bonnet (32). For normal cleaning
purposes and for general use the Bonnet would be fitted. When removing creases from garments and
hanging drapes you can sometimes improve the appearance of the material by using the head without
the Bonnet attached. It is best to experiment to get the best finish for you.
This tool can also be used either fitted directly onto the Hose Handle or fitted to one or both Extension
Tubes. First select which is best for the task in hand and assemble together.

Fitting the Bonnet (32) to the Upholstery Cleaner (29)
Take the Bonnet, place it on a flat surface with the strings at the top and the nap
facing outwards and place the Upholstery Cleaner in the middle. Pull the string
until the Bonnet fits tightly to the Upholstery Cleaner, and tie with a bow.
When cleaning upholstery you will need to glide the head across the material in
the same way as when using the Floor Cleaner. The bonnets will need to be
replaced as they become dirty. Used bonnets can be washed and re-used.
Wash at 194˚F for maximum longevity. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner
and use only one third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging the fibres.
Spare Bonnets can be purchased from Earlex Inc or you can make your own using Terry towel type
material.
The Upholstery Cleaner can also be used very effectively for removing the creases from hanging
drapes.
Upholstery Cleaner/Garment Steamer
To set up your Steam Dynamo Pro as a Garment Steamer proceed as follows:-
In the Plug Storage Recess (22) there is a socket (23) to accept the button end
of the Extension Tubes. Fit the Extension Tubes together and then locate both
into this socket. Now fit the Garment Attachment Rest (30) into the top of the
Extension Tube. Your garment can now be hung from this Garment Attachment
Rest using a normal coat hanger.
Press the Steam Release Button and pass the Garment Steamer lightly across
the surface to remove creases and wrinkles from your garment.
We recommend that the unit remains on the floor and shorter garments are
steam cleaned from a seated position as shown. Longer garments can be
hung from a wardrobe rail or over the top of a door.
The Garment Attachment Rest is used to “park” the Garment Steamer
safely in between steaming your garments. It can also be used to park the
Window/Tile Cleaner
IMPORTANT – Some garments are made from very delicate materials.
Always refer to the labels in the garment, or check with the shop
where the garment was bought, before applying steam.
USING THE MINI ATTACHMENTS
The 3 Mini Attachments are stored in a recess underneath the Steam Unit
for easy selection of the tool required. The 3 attachments supplied are:-
a) Scraper Nozzle (15)
b) Brush Nozzle (16)
c) Jet Nozzle (14)
WARNING: THESE MINI ATTACHMENTS RUN VERY HOT IN USE. When changing the Mini
Attachments always use a cloth when holding the attachment to prevent burning your hands.
The Mini Attachments are ideal for cleaning stoves, baths, toilets, work surfaces, tiles, basins,
barbecues etc. The brush can be used to agitate areas that need that little bit extra abrasion. We
recommend that you use these attachments in conjunction with a damp cloth. As an example – if you
have baked on material on a stove, aim the Jet Nozzle at the surface, press the Steam Button to
release the steam and you should be able to easily wipe the surface clean. The damp cloth enables
you to wipe away the waste material.

The Scraper Nozzle is ideal for very fast defrosting of freezers (check with freezer manufacturer), also
for jobs such as removing the caked on grass from lawnmowers. Remember that steam both cleans
and sanitizes at the same time. So on work surfaces you are ensuring these are really clean.
As an optional extra (Code M0605) we offer a pack
of 3 spare brushes each with different coloured
bristles so you can keep these for separate jobs
and always know which one to use.
Also available as an optional extra (Code M0625) is a Brush Nozzle with wire bristles for cleaning
barbeques.
GETTING STARTED
Before you use your Earlex Steam Dynamo Pro, make sure that you have read and followed all the
safety instructions.
Decide how you want to use the Steam Dynamo Pro as a hand held unit with the Steam Unit hung
over your shoulder, with the Steam Unit fixed to the Caddy free to be pulled along on the floor, or set
up as a Garment Steamer. Refer to the section “Preparing your Steam Dynamo Pro for use” and fit
together the various parts of the system to suit the job in hand.
Filling the Water Tank (8)
The Water Tank can be filled in two ways. Remove the Steam Handle from the
Holster then either:
Lift the Water Tank Lid (7) and hold it out of the way, fill the Water Tank to the
base of the filler neck (75cl) then replace the lid.
Or
Lift Water Tank Lid and pull the Water Tank out completely. Fill this from a tap
to the base of the filler neck then replace it into the Steam Unit and replace the
lid.
Note In hard water areas we recommend you use cooled boiled water.
The water in the tank should last for about 30 minutes of cleaning time but this
can be refilled at any time and does not require the unit to be switched off. Nor
do you have to wait for it to heat up again. Simply refill either in situ or at the tap
and you can continue as before
Switch the Steam Dynamo Pro on
With the tank filled with water, plug the steamer into a mains socket and press
the red ON/OFF Mains Switch (3) and this will illuminate to show the power is
on. The amber “Heating Up” LED Indicator (4) will also light up.
After approximately 30 – 60 seconds the green “Steam Ready” LED Indicator
(5) will light up to tell you that the unit is ready to use and instant steam is
available.
Steam Release Button (13)
To deliver instant steam just press the Steam Release Button.
The Steam Release Button gives complete control over the delivery of steam.
Once the water heats up and the “Steam Ready” LED is lit, steam will be
delivered only when the Steam Release Button is depressed. This means that
you produce the exact amount of steam you need, when you need it. Normally
steam will be delivered within two or three seconds of the button being
depressed and stop within a few seconds of the button being released, giving
you complete control of the steamer.

HELPLINE NUMBER - TOLL FREE 888 STEAM 12. CALL FIRST IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM
13
The Steam Dynamo Pro has added safety because the Steam Button has no electric wires connected
to it. Instead a pneumatic system is used to operate the delivery of the steam.
Once the Steam Dynamo Pro is ready to use, begin to move the attachment head over the surface to
be cleaned at a steady pace, pressing the Steam Button as required.
WARNING: Quality control checks in our factory may result in a very small residue of water in the
Steam Hose of the Steam Dynamo Pro. This is due to steam cooling in the hose. When you switch
the unit on for the first time (and every time thereafter) and before the Steam Ready light comes on,
there may be a short jet of hot water or steam ejected from the end of the tool, before or immediately
after the Steam Button is pressed. Drain this water into a container, until only steam is produced,
before starting your cleaning task.
Never submerge the end of the Handle or Extension Tube (with or without attachments fitted) in water.
Cooling steam will draw water up into the hose.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The Steam Unit must be unplugged after use and before cleaning or before any maintenance.
There is very little maintenance required for this machine. To clean after use, simply ensure the unit
is switched off at the mains then wipe it over with a damp cloth. Wipe all tools down and wash out any
used bonnets.
Periodically check Attachments, Extension Tubes, Nozzle Connection and Handle Nozzle Connection
for a build up of debris or lime-scale and remove as necessary.
Wash Bonnets at 194˚C for maximum longevity. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner. Use only one
third of normal soap powder to avoid clogging of the fibres.
Spare bonnets are available from Earlex Inc or you can make your own using Terry type material.
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 41/2turns
the plug can be stored in the front recess. Then coil the hose 11/2turns 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.

This product is guaranteed for a period of 12 months against faulty materials and workmanship.
While every possible care is taken by Earlex to ensure that our products leave the factory in good

Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and some States do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so part or all of the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
State to State.
