illustration for your specific model. Clean using warm water and mild detergent.
DRY parts completely

. With the steam generator cool, use a wire brush or scrapper to loosen the mineral/calcium
deposits on the generator surface and steam ports. Remove the loose built-up particles
from the surface and wipe area clean with damp cloth and reassemble the unit.
NOTE: A certain amount of calcium deposits are needed on the steam generator to ensure
proper steaming characteristics. If during cleaning, the surface becomes free of all calcium/
mineral deposits, add tap water to the generator surface and allow it to boil off. In soft water
conditions, a small amount of lime will season it. (Seasoning Mixture, .75 oz. baking soda,
.75 oz. lime, quart water), use enough to cover bottom of the steam generator, turn unit on
and allow to evaporate.
