care and cleaning
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior
of your steam generator because they will damage the surface.
After each use
After each use, allow your steam generator to completely cool down before wiping
the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a
damp cotton cloth while your steam generator is still hot. If necessary, allow your
steam generator to completely cool down then wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth
moistened with methylated spirits. Remove the methylated spirit with a damp cloth. Make
sure that the soleplate is completely dry.
To clean the exterior of your steam generator, wipe over with a soft damp cloth and wipe
dry. Ensure the soleplate is dry.
To remove build-up from the steam holes which may affect steam performance, use a
cotton wool tip moistened in methylated spirits. Wipe over with a damp cloth.
Rinsing out the boiler
NEVER remove the boiler rinse plug when your steam generator is hot. Allow
your steam generator to cool for at least 2 hours before removing the boiler rinse
plug.

generator once a month or after every 10 times you have used it.

tank.
