HOW TO USE THE DRAINAGE VALVE
1. Unscrew the drainage valve which is at the back of the appliance anticlockwise. Refer to
figure 19.
2. Empty the water reservoir after finished steaming, when the appliance is not in use or before
storage. This is to avoid water deterioration and bacteria breeding. Fasten the drainage
valve after all the water is drained off before storage.
NOTE :
Do not touch the water reservoir’s inlet hole right after steaming. Allow the appliance to cool
completely for at least 30 minutes before draining to avoid scalding to hands.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend you follow this procedure at least once per week.
1. Turn the switch to “OFF” position and power off the appliance.
2. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
3. Allow the steam head to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
4. Disconnect the hose from the hose base and shorten the telescopic pole, then set them
aside.
5. Remove and drain the water from water tank. Rinse the water tank with fresh water, and
drain completely. Place the water tank back on the water reservoir.
6. Drain the steamer by removing the drain plug and emptying the contents.
7. Flush the unit by filling the water reservoir and the hose connector with fresh water and
draining completely.
8. Wrap the hose around the telescopic pole one time. Place the steam head on the steam
head holder.
