Storage & Care
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Contemporary 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 (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3.
Bring unit to a convenient sink or tub.
4.
Remove Water Tank from unit. Unscrew Valve Cap and drain all remaining water from Water
Tank. Replace Valve Cap when finished.
5.
Open Drain Plug and drain all remaining water from Water Reservoir to prevent overfilling during
your next use. Securely replace Drain Plug and place empty Water Tank back onto main unit.
6.
For storage convenience, you may wish to collapse Telescopic Pole to its most compact height
(refer to Page 7 for details).
7.
Loosely bundle power cord and store Contemporary Fabric Steamer in a cool dry location,
along with all included accessories.
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 Contemporary Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Contemporary Fabric Steamer.
In addition, it is recommended that the unit be
cleaned at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend
the life of your Contemporary Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “OFF” position, and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3.
Bring unit to a convenient sink or tub.
4.
Remove Water Tank from unit. Unscrew Valve Cap and drain all remaining water from Water
Tank.
5.
Open Drain Plug and drain all remaining water from Water Reservoir. Securely replace Drain
Plug.
6.
Fill Water Tank up to 500 ml. mark with vinegar, then replace Valve Cap and place Water Tank
back onto main unit.
7.
Allow vinegar to flow into Water Reservoir and soak for 30-40 minutes.
8.
Open Drain Plug and drain vinegar from Water Reservoir. Securely replace Drain Plug.
9.
Refill Water Tank to maximum capacity (54 oz. / 1,600 ml.) with fresh water and place it back
onto main unit. Allow water to flow into Water Reservoir, then open Drain Plug and drain water
until both the Water Reservoir and Water Tank are empty. Repeat as necessary until vinegar
odor has completely dissipated.
10.
When finished, follow normal storage procedure as outlined in
Proper Storage
section above.
