MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high mineral content
in many municipal water supplies. The best way to avoid this issue is to use distilled water in
unit. If you are unable to use distilled water, we recommend you use this procedure monthly to
help avoid mineral build-up. Or if you notice a change in your steam output, we recommend this
procedure to reduce the mineral buildup.
To remove mineral build-up:
1.
Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to completely cool.
3.
Remove all accessories from unit.
4.
Insert tip of paper clip into opening of the Brass Outlet Tip to
remove mineral buildup in Brass Outlet Tip. This may also be
done to clean accessories such as the Nozzles.
5.
Remove Fill Cap and drain any remaining water from Water
Tank into sink or tub.
6.
Set Steam Level Switch to maximum setting (t).
7.
Using a measuring cup, measure 8 oz. (236 ml) of distilled vinegar.
8.
Slowly pour vinegar into Water Tank and replace Fill Cap.
9.
Plug power cord into an electrical outlet and allow unit to heat up.
10.
Hold down Steam Trigger to spray vinegar into a sink or tub. Continue to hold down Steam
Trigger until Water Tank is completely drained (approximately 8 minutes).
11.
Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
12.
Fill Water Tank with fresh water and replace Fill Cap.
13.
Plug power cord into an electrical outlet and allow unit to heat up.
14.
Hold down Steam Trigger to spray water into a sink or tub. Continue to hold down Steam
Trigger until Water Tank is completely drained (approximately 8 minutes).
15.
This will flush out any remaining vinegar solution in unit. Repeat steps 11-14 until vinegar
odor dissipates.
NOTE:
If water drips from the Pressure Relief Valve or if you notice a reduction in your steam
pressure, verify the Brass Outlet Tip is clear of any mineral buildup. Remove Brass Outlet Tip by
turning counter clockwise. Clear any debris as mentioned in step 4 above. Replace Brass Outlet Tip
by turning clockwise until finger-tight plus 1/8th turn. Over tightening will cause damage to the threads.
IMPORTANT:
On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral buildup 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 steamer operating at full potential. Do not exceed 20 hours
of use without cleaning out mineral buildup.
