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 Professional Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Professional Fabric Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the cleaning
procedure below be followed at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form.
This will help to extend the life of your Professional Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at
its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1.
Turn Steam Dial to “OFF” position and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2.
Allow unit to cool (30 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.
Drain all remaining water from the Water Reservoir through Drain Plug.
6.
Fill a measuring cup
(not included)
with 12 oz (355 ml) vinegar.
7.
Pour vinegar into Water Tank, then replace Valve Cap and place Water Tank back onto
main unit.
8.
Allow vinegar to flow into Water Reservoir / Boiler and soak for 30-40 minutes.
9.
Plug power cord into an electrical outlet and set Steam Dial to “ON” position. Allow unit to
steam until no vinegar remains.
CAUTION: Do not allow unit to continue running with an empty water tank.
10.
Drain any remaining cleaning solution from the Water Reservoir through Drain Plug.
11.
Remove and refill Water Tank to maximum capacity (106 oz / 3,135 ml) with fresh water and
place it back onto main unit. Allow all fresh water to flow into Water Reservoir / Boiler and
be steamed out. Refill and repeat as necessary until vinegar odor has completely dissipated.
