CLEANING AND STORING
I. Turn the "I"/"O" (ON/OFF) switch to the
"O" (OFF) position and unplug from the
power source.
2. Wait for the steamer to cool completely for
at least 30 minutes.
3. Unplug power cord and retract it into the
housing.
4. Remove the steamer hose.
5. Remove the water container from unit,
unscrew valve and empty unused contents.
Allow to air dry.
6. Remove excess water from the reservoir
by unscrewing the plug on the bottom of the
steamer and letting the water drain out.
7. Collapse telescopic hanger rod.
8. Replace water container.
9. Store the unit.
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES
During operation, the steamer hose may
gurgle. This is a normal result of condensa-
tion collecting inside the hose. Simply lift the
handle upward until the hose is extended
to its full height. The gurgling will disappear
when the excess moisture inside the hose
has had a chance to drain back into the
base.
DECALCIFICATION
If the appliance begins to produce steam
more slowly than usual or stops producing
steam and then starts again, you may need
to decalcify your steamer. Decalcification
refers to removing the calcium deposits
that form over time on the metal parts of
the steamer. For best performance from the
Conair
®
Ultimate Fabric Steamer, decalcify
the unit from time to time. The frequency
depends upon the hardness of your tap
water and how often you use the steamer.
To decalcify, use a solution of 1/3 white vinegar
and 2/3 water in the water container. Replace
the water container in the unit. Plug the unit
into electrical outlet. Turn to the ON position and
run until half the amount has steamed (1 liter).
Turn the unit to the OFF position, unplug from
electrical outlet, and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
Remove water container.
Remove excess water
from the reservoir by
unscrewing the plug
at the bottom of the
steamer and hold-
ing it over the sink,
allowing the water to
drain from the inter-
nal reservoir.
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 through the unit at
the completion of decalcification before using
the unit again to steam garments.
CAUTION:
Hose will be hot when
in use. Avoid prolonged contact.
