General steaming tips
Troubleshooting
Cleaning and Maintenance
For most effective results, hold Steam Nozzle directly against surfaces.
Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over
a rod or towel rack and gently steam them.
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be
damaged by heat or water spotting.
1. Always unplug the Steamer and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
2. Clean the surface with a soft moist cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or
sponge, as that would scratch the plastic parts as well as the stainless-steel
plate.
3. Store it in a cool dry place.
4. DO NOT wrap the power cord around the unit, place it loosely.
NOTE: Water containing mineral levels will vary depending on the place where
you live in. To ensure the continuous operation of the steamer, never store it
without cleaning and removing excess water from the water container or tank. If
you fill your Steamer with tap water, you may experience mineral build-up due to
the high mineral content in the water supply in many cities. Mineral residue inside
the Steamer internal heater may cause intermittent steaming or, in severe cases
no steaming at all. To avoid the problem, only use de-mineralized or distilled
water in your Steamer. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or distilled water,
we recommend you to follow the cleaning procedure below at least once a month
to help avoid mineral build-up:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord.
2. Prepare a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water, in most cases half
measuring cup of this mixture will be enough.
3. Slowly use the measuring cup to pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water
tank. Pour it out three minutes later.
4. If the procedure above does not return the unit to a normal operation, the unit
may need to be checked by the product supplier.
