Storage & Care
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your 3-in-1 Steam Mop for storage is quick and simple. When you have completed
your tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1.
Set Steam Control Dial to
“
OFF”
and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit time to cool (at least 5 minutes).
3.
Remove all attachments and accessories from unit.
4.
Remove Water Tank Cap and drain any remaining water from Water Tank into a sink or tub to
minimize potential mineral build-up. Replace Water Tank Cap when done.
5.
Collapse Extension Pole to shortest length and wrap power cord around Cord Brackets.
6.
Store 3-in-1 Steam Mop in a cool, dry location, along with all included accessories.
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 limit the
effectiveness and reduce the life of your 3-in-1 Steam Mop.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your 3-in-1 Steam Mop.
In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below
be followed at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to
extend the life of your 3-in-1 Steam Mop and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1.
Follow STEPS 1-4 under
Proper Storage
section above. However, do not replace Water Tank
Cap at the end of STEP 4.
2.
Insert tip of Cleaning Pin into opening of Steam Nozzle to remove mineral build-up in nozzle.
This may also be done to clean accessories such as the Jet Nozzle.
3.
Fill included Measuring Cup with 3.5 oz. (100 ml.) distilled water and 1.5 oz. (50 ml.) vinegar.
4.
Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through Fill Hole, then replace Water Tank Cap.
5.
Plug in power cord and set Steam Control Dial to
“
HIGH”. Allow unit to steam for 1 minute,
then set Steam Control Dial back to “OFF”.
6.
Allow unit to sit for approximately 30 minutes, then set Steam Control Dial back to “HIGH” and
allow the remainder of the Water Tank’s contents to be steamed out.
7.
Once Water Tank is drained, turn unit off and refill Tank with 15 oz. (450 ml.) of fresh distilled
water. Set Steam Control Dial back to
“
HIGH” and allow unit to steam until Water Tank is empty.
Repeat as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
8.
Set Steam Control Dial to
“
OFF”, unplug power cord and store 3-in-1 Steam Mop as usual.
IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral build-up removal
procedure once per month (if unit is used once every week). More frequent use may require
following the procedure more often in order to keep your 3-in-1 Steam Mop operating at
full potential. Do not exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning out mineral build-up.
