frequency also depends on the hardness of the water used.
To decalcify, fill the water tank with a solution of 1/3 white vinegar
and 2/3 water and replace the water container into its cavity in the
base of the steamer. Place the nozzle head over a sink and switch
the steamer on, to the ‘I’ position. Run the steamer until all of
the liquid has steamed. Turn the steamer off, to the ‘O’ position,
unplug from the power outlet and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Remove the water container from the steamer and drain the
remaining liquid from the tank and the cavity of the steamer.
Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a
normal steam rate returns, usually 2-3 times. With each repeated
cycle, use a fresh solution of vinegar and water. Run one cycle of
fresh, cold water after the completion of decalcification before
using the steamer again to steam garments and fabrics.
