STORAGE & CARE
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have completed your tasks, fol-
low the steps listed below.
1. Push the Power ON/OFF Button (Steam Status Light will turn off) and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit time to cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove Water Tank and drain any remaining water into a sink or tub to minimize potential
mineral build-up. Replace Water Tank when done.
4. Wrap cord with supplied "hook and loop" strap when storing. Do not wrap cord around the
product.
5. Store steamer in a cool, dry location.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high min-
eral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit to spit wa-
ter, which can result in burn injuries, and limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using
your steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning procedure below be followed at
least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of
your steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
TO REMOVE MINERAL BUILD-UP:
1. Follow STEPS 1-3 under Proper Storage section above. However, do not replace Water Tank at the
end of STEP 3.
2. Fill Measuring Cup (not included) with 1 oz. (29.6 ml) distilled water and 1 oz.
(29.6 ml) vinegar. Never add soap, detergent or other cleaners as this could cause damage to the
product.
3. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank through Fill Hole, then replace Water Tank Cap.
4. Plug in power cord and press ON/OFF Button to turn unit on. Once heated, press the Steam
Button to allow unit to produce steam for 1 minute, then turn unit off.
5. Allow unit to sit for approximately 30 minutes, then press ON/OFF Button to turn unit on again
and repeat Step 4 above. Repeat until the remainder of the Water Tank's contents are steamed out.
6. Once Water Tank is drained, turn unit off and refill Tank with 5 oz. (148 ml) of fresh distilled water.
Allow unit to steam until Water Tank is empty. Repeat as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
7. Turn unit OFF, unplug power cord and store steamer in a cool, dry location.
IMPORTANT: On average, it is recommended that you follow the mineral build-up 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 1 hour of use without cleaning out mineral build-up. Failure to remove mineral
build up can result in clogged outlets and hot water spraying/spewing.
