Cleaning
Clean the main unit using a damp cloth. To
maintain maximum performance, your steamer
must be descaled occasionally. The descaling
intervals will depend on the water quality and
the frequency of use.
The unit should be descaled at least once a year
or every 100 hours of use.
For descaling proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the unit and fill it with 1/3 white
vinegar and 2/3 water.
2. Let the appliance run for 3 minutes and do not
steam any clothing with this mixture.
3. Switch the appliance off. Unplug it and allow
to cool down for at least 30 minutes.
4. Pour the mixture over the sink. Rinse the
appliance with fresh water.
-
If after descaling you believe that there is still
a buildup in the appliance, repeat this
operation. Use a new solution of vinegar and
water each time you repeat steps 1 and 2.
