5.4 Prevent Mineral Deposit Build-Up
Vinegar may be used to prevent mineral deposit build-up in your machine’s lines and pump. Failure to do so may clog
your lines and pump. Every two weeks, pour vinegar into the solution tank (dilute with 1/2 water). Run the pump, while
squeezing your wand or upholstery tool’s trigger unit you smell vinegar or notice it coming out of the tool. Let the
machine sit overnight, and no longer, with the vinegar in its lines. The next day, flush the machine with 1-gallon of clean
water or until you do not smell vinegar any longer.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to use CLR, follow the directions on the bottle. DO NOT leave CLR in the machine’s
lines and flush thoroughly. CLR may corrode the machine’s components and VOID your warranty. If you choose to use
vinegar, MUST dilute with 1/2 water. Failure to do so may damage the machine’s components and VOID your warranty.
