PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your
Fabric Steamer
for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished your
steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “OFF” position, and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes is recommended).
3.
Remove Water Tank from unit. Unscrew Valve Cap and drain remaining water into sink or tub.
Replace Valve Cap when finished.
NOTE: It is not necessary to empty Water Tank after each use if you do not wish. However,
it is recommended that it be drained for storage and filled with fresh distilled water for each
use.
4.
Remove Drain Plug and drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to prevent
overfilling during your next use. Flush out Water Reservoir with fresh water to minimize potential
mineral build-up in Water Reservoir. Replace empty Water Tank.
5.
For storage convenience, you may wish to collapse Telescopic Pole to its most compact height
(refer to Page 7 for details).
6.
Wrap power cord loosely around unit, and store
Fabric 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
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the effectiveness
and reduce the life of your
Fabric Steamer
.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your
Fabric Steamer
.
In addition, it is recommended that the unit be cleaned regularly using
the procedure below. This will help to extend the life of your
Fabric Steamer
, and keep it
functioning at its maximum potential.
NOTE: It is recommended that the following procedure be followed once every 3-4 uses.
1.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “OFF” position, and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes is recommended).
3.
Remove Water Tank from unit. Unscrew Valve Cap and drain remaining water into sink or tub.
4.
Remove Drain Plug and drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub.
5.
Using measuring cup (not included), make a mixture of 6 oz. (177 ml.) vinegar and 6 oz. (177 ml.)
distilled water.
6.
Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Tank, then replace Valve Cap and place Water Tank
back onto unit.
7.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “ON” position. Allow unit to heat up and steam out all of the
water-vinegar solution.
8.
Once emptied, set Lighted On/Off Switch back to “OFF” position. Remove Water Tank and refill
with approximately 12 oz. (355 ml.) fresh distilled water, then replace Water Tank.
9.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “ON” position. Allow unit to heat up and steam out all of the fresh
distilled water. Once emptied, set Lighted On/Off Switch back to “OFF” position.
10.
Repeat STEPS 8 & 9 as necessary until vinegar odor completely dissipates. Once finished,
follow normal storage guidelines outlined above.
