REMOVING LIMESCALE
If the Clothes & Fabric Steamer begins to produce steam more slowly
than usual or stops producing steam you may need to remove limescale
from your steamer. Limescale can build-up over time on the metal parts
of the steamer. For best performance from your steamer, you should
remove limescale from time to time. The frequency depends upon the
hardness of your tap water and how often you use the steamer.
• To remove limescale, prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3
cold water and add to the water tank.
• Replace the water tank.
• Plug into the mains, and switch ON ‘‘I’’.
• Keep the steamer on and producing steam until half the amount of
limescale removing solution has steamed (1 litre).
• Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a
normal steam rate returns. With each repeated cycle, use a fresh
solution of vinegar and water.
• Remove the water tank and rinse out.
• Run one cycle of fresh, cold water through the steamer at the
completion of limescale removal, before using the steamer to steam
garments.
• Turn the steamer OFF ‘‘0’’ and unplug from the mains.
