STORAGE & CARE
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Handheld Fabric Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When
you have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap. Drain any water remaining in Reservoir into a sink
or tub, then add 1 oz. water. Shake to release mineral buildup and empty tank
to minimize potential mineral build-up. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.
4. Bundle power cord loosely.
5. Store Handheld Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up
caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral
build-up may cause the unit to spew water, limit the effectiveness and reduce the
life of your Handheld Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water
when using your Handheld Fabric Steamer . In addition, it is recommended that the
Reservoir be cleaned at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that
form. This will help to extend the life of your Handheld Fabric Steamer and keep it
functioning at its maximum potential.
