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 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 filtered
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. Abrasive
cleaners should not be used.
