PROPER STORAGE
1.
Preparing your SteamMax
TM
Garment Plus for storage is quick and simple.
When you have finished your steaming tasks, turn power switch to “Off”
position. Unplug power cord, and allow unit to cool completely. After unit has
cooled, dump any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to
prevent overfilling during your next use. This also serves to minimize potential
mineral buildup in Water Reservoir.
2.
Store any small accessories neatly into Accessory Compartment.
3.
Loosen two ridged knobs on Telescopic Pole by turning them counter-
clockwise, and push down on the Pole Top; pole will collapse to a compact
height.
4.
Wrap Hose around Telescopic Pole one time, and hang Steam Nozzle from
Steam Nozzle Holder.
5.
Store unit indoors in a cool, dry area.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
One common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies.

this procedure monthly to help avoid mineral build-up:
1.
Turn unit off, and unplug power cord.
2.
Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain Water Reservoir into sink or tub.
3.
Remove Hose and Telescopic Pole from unit.
4.
Using SteamMax

measuring cup (provided), make a mixture of 8oz. vinegar
and 8oz. water.
5.
Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Reservoir, using SteamMax
TM
water funnel (provided).
6.
Allow to stand for 40 minutes.
