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 Full Size Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using
your Full Size Fabric Steamer. 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 Full Size Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.

1.
Press Power Switch to “OFF” position and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
