 Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior 

of your steam generator because they will damage the surface.

After each use

After each use, allow your steam generator to completely cool down before wiping 

the soleplate with a soft damp cloth. If polyester has burnt to the soleplate, iron a 

damp cotton cloth while your steam generator is still hot. If necessary, allow your 

steam generator to completely cool down then wipe over the soleplate with a soft cloth 

moistened with methylated spirits. Remove the methylated spirit with a damp cloth. Make 

sure that the soleplate is completely dry.
To clean the exterior of your steam generator, wipe over with a soft damp cloth and wipe

To remove build-up from the steam holes which may affect steam performance, use a 

cotton wool tip moistened in methylated spirits. Wipe over with a damp cloth.
