Cleaning and Long-term Storage
We recommend you follow this procedure at least once per month. Use of distilled
or de-mineralized water will help to reduce the need for cleaning and prolong the
life of TOB
i
™
. However, you can use ordinary tap water as well.
1. Turn the Lighted Switch to “OFF”.
2. Unplug TOB
i
™
from the power outlet.
3. Wait for TOB
i
™
to cool completely.
4. Disassemble the Hose and the Telescopic Pole, and set them aside.
5. Carry the Main Unit to a sink or tub.
6. Remove and drain the Water Tank, rinse the Water Tank with fresh water,
and drain completely.
7. Drain the steamer by unscrewing the drain switch out and empty the contents
into the sink or tub. Tilt the unit towards the drain plug to facilitate removal of
the water. Then screw on the switch.
8. Flush the Main Unit by filling the Water Tank with fresh water and
draining completely.
9. Assemble the Telescopic Pole and Hose.
10. Follow steps 3-7 of the quick storage section.
Cleaning Mineral Deposits
One common problem with all steamers is mineral deposit caused by a high miner-
al content in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of the internal
pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or, in some cases, no steaming
at all.
Note: To reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mineral deposit, we recommend the
use of de-mineralized or distilled water in the Main Unit. However regular tap
water can also be used.
The section below can be used to reduce mineral deposit. If not using de-
mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you follow this procedure monthly.
1. Turn TOB
i
™
“OFF” and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the Hose and Pole from the Main Unit.
3. Mix a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water. Two cups of this solution will
be sufficient.
4. Slowly pour the solution into the Water Tank and replace the Valve Cap.
5. Place the Water Tank on the Main Unit. You should hear water flowing into the
Main Unit for a short time.
6. Allow it to stand for 40 minutes.
7. Drain the solution out from the Water Tank into a sink or tub.
8. Pour clean water in the Main Unit and drain. Repeat this step until the vinegar
odor dissipates.
9. Reassemble Tobi and operate normally.
