REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
To maintain maximum performance, you must descale your steamer occa-
sionally. This is standard maintenance needed for steam appliances to
remove build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water
supplies. The time between two descaling operations depends on the qual-
ity of the water and the frequency with which you use the appliance. We
advise you to remove the mineral build-up after 7-15 days of use but at
least once a year.
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely. Unplug the unit
and remove the steam hose from the main unit. Collapse the telescopic
pole.
2. Remove the Water Tank from the unit. Unscrew the Valve Cap and drain
all remaining water from Water Tank.
3. Drain all the remaining water from the Water Reservoir through the Hose
Base by tilting the unit over a sink or tub and pouring the water out. Scale
and other residues will be rinsed out.
4. Fill a measuring cup with 12 oz (355 ml) vinegar.
5. Pour vinegar into Water Tank, then replace Valve Cap and place Water
Tank back onto the main unit.
6. Allow the vinegar to flow into Water Reservoir / Boiler and soak for 30-40
minutes.
7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the main unit ON.
Allow the unit to steam until there is no vinegar left.
Note: Do not steam any
clothing with this mixture.
8. Drain any remaining cleaning solution from the Water Reservoir through
Hose Base.
9. Remove and refill Water Tank to maximum capacity with fresh water and
place it back onto the main unit. Allow all fresh water to flow into the Water
Reservoir / Boiler and be steamed out. Refill and repeat as necessary until
vinegar odor has completely dissipated.
10. When finished, turn the steamer off and unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet. Follow standard storage procedure as outlined in Cleaning
and Storage section above.
