PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Compact Fabric Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished
your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1.
Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3.
Remove Accessory Adapter from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
4.
Unscrew and remove Boiler Cap. Drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub, to
minimize potential mineral build-up. Replace Boiler Cap (do not fully tighten).
5.
Bundle power cord loosely.
6.
Store Compact 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 cause the unit to
spew water, limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your Compact Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Compact Fabric Steamer.
In addition, it is recommended that the Boiler be cleaned
at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of
your Compact Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1.
Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during cleaning procedure.
2.
Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3.
Remove Accessory Adapter from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
4.
Remove Boiler Cap and drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub.
5.
Using a measuring cup (not included), make a mixture of 3 oz. (89 ml.) water and 3 oz.
(89 ml.) vinegar.
6.
Pour water/vinegar solution into Boiler.
7.
Allow water/vinegar solution to soak in boiler for 30-40 minutes.
8.
Drain water/vinegar solution from Boiler into a sink or tub. Refill Boiler with fresh water, drain
and repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.
9.
Replace Boiler Cap (do not fully tighten).
10.
Bundle power cord loosely and store Compact Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location, along
with all included accessories.
