CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and maintenance:
If you consistently use demineralised or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.
Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner:
Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will free it from deposits. This is
recommended every 10-15 tank fills, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler
with 400 ml of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty
the boiler of water and any scale deposits.
Descaling Your Steam Cleaner:
If the tap water in you area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using
tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tank fills.
To Descale the Steam Cleaner:
1. Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to
cool.
2. Fill the boiler with 100ml vinegar and 300 ml of water and leave overnight or for a period of
approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/filler cap onto the steam cleaner while you
are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the
boiler.
3. After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the
boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is
necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now
ready for use.
Water:
• Use tap water for all your cleaning needs.
• However, if you live in an area with hard water, use de-mineralized / distilled water when
steaming light coloured fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.
Important: do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to
the water used in this appliance. Use tap water or distilled/purified water if the tap water in
your area is very hard.
Efficient Work:
• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a towel from the top down, in this way the dirty water will not
soil surfaces already cleaned.
• Avoid changing brushes back and forth while cleaning.
• Start with the smallest brush to clean tight spots and corners first.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as possible, otherwise it will dry and re-adhere to the
surface.
