After use
1
Switch the cleaner off and
unplug from the socket. Wait
until the cleaner has cooled
down completely.
2
Empty the water tank. Allow the
inside of the water tank to dry
out before replacing the filler
cap.
Rinse water tank
Regularly rinse the water tank to
release any limescale deposits
that have collected on the
bottom of the tank. Use clean
cold water and fit the filler cap
to allow vigorous rinsing.
Descaling
If the ‘heater on’ light goes off
before the cleaner starts to
steam, this indicates the
thermostat has operated too
soon and the cleaner needs
descaling.
In order to prolong the life of
your cleaner, you should
descale the boiler at least every
6 months.
1
Switch the cleaner off, unplug
and allow to cool.
2
Empty any water out of the tank.
3
Mix the descaler in the
measuring jug using warm
water. We recommend using
50gm of citric acid crystals per
1 litre of water. Citric acid
crystals are available from most
pharmacies.
4
Pour 1 litre of the descaler
solution into the tank.
5
Fit the cap and tighten fully.
6
Using the handle, move the
steam cleaner about to swill the
solution around the tank.
7
Leave for 30 minutes.
8
Empty the solution carefully.
9
Rinse the tank with clean warm
water, then empty.
10
Wipe the outside of the cleaner
with a damp cloth to remove all
traces of descaler solution.
WARNING: Do not switch on
the heater with the descaling
solution inside.
NOTE: We recommend the use
of distilled/de-ionised water to
minimise scale build up.
CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your cleaner is manufactured to
withstand normal day-to-day
use, but an occasional wipe
over with a damp cloth will help
maintain its good looks.
