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 TOBi

Platinum™. However, you can use ordinary tap water as well.

1. Turn the Lighted Switch to “OFF”.

2. Unplug TOBi

Platinum™ from the power outlet.

3. Wait for TOBi

Platinum™ to cool completely.

4. Disassemble the Hose and the Telescopic Pole, and set them aside.

5. Remove and drain the Water Tank, rinse the Water Tank with fresh water,

and drain completely.

6. Drain the steamer by unscrewing the drain switch and emptying the contents

into the sink or tub. Tilt the unit towards the drain plug to facilitate removal of

the water. Then return the drain switch to its original position.

7. Flush the Main Unit by filling the Water Tank with fresh water and

draining completely.

8. Follow steps 3-7 of the quick storage section.

Cleaning Mineral Deposits

One common problem with all steamers is mineral deposits caused by a high mineral

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 deposits, 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 deposits. If not using de-

mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you follow this procedure monthly.

1. Turn TOBi

Platinum™ “OFF” and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the Hose 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, do not forget to tighten 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

Platinum™ and operate normally.
