Cleaning
Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To maintain maximum
performance, your steamer must be descaled occasionally. The descaling
intervals will depend on the water quality and the frequency of use. The
unit should be descaled at least once a year or every 100 hours of use.
For descaling proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the unit and fill it with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.
2. Let the appliance run for 3 minutes and do not steam any clothing with
this mixture.
3. Switch the appliance off. Unplug it and allow to cool down for at least
30 minutes.
4. Empty the water over the sink. Rinse the appliance with fresh water.
5. Fill the unit with fresh water and repeat steps 2-4.
Be careful there may be hot water remaining in the
steam hose after use. Always remove the steam hose
before emptying your appliance.
For cord winding or transport, never turn your appliance upside down.
Empty all water from the unit before storing it.
