Decalcification of Your Steamer
If the appliance begins to produce steam more slowly than usual,
stops producing steam and then starts again, you may need to
decalcify your steamer.
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which can
form over time on the metal parts of the steamer.
For best performance, decalcify the unit from time to time such as
once a month, depending on how often you use the appliance. The
frequency also depends on the hardness of the water used.
To decalcify, fill the water tank with a solution of 1/3 white vinegar
and 2/3 water and replace the water container into its cavity in the
base of the steamer. Place the nozzle head over a sink and switch
the steamer on, to the ‘HI’ position. Run the steamer until at least
half of the liquid has been steamed (approx 1 litre). Turn the
steamer off, to the ‘O’ position, unplug from the power outlet and
allow to cool for 30 minutes.
To fully decalcify, remove the water container from the steamer
and drain the remaining liquid from the tank and cavity of the
steamer. Then, unscrew the drain hole cap on the
base of the steamer and place the base of the
steamer into a sink or area where the water can
be drained from the steamer. Leave for 10 minutes
and allow the remaining solution to be drained
from the water container and cavity of the steamer.
As the water drains from the steamer, it will also
drain the limescale from the steamer. Repeat the
above procedure as many times as necessary until a
normal steam rate returns, usually 2-3 times. With
each repeated cycle, use a fresh solution of vinegar
and water. Run one cycle of fresh, cold water after
the completion of decalcification before using the
steamer again.
