FEATURES OF YOUR STEAM CLEANER TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Water
• Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
• However, if you live in an area with
hard water, use de-mineralized /
distilled water when steaming light
colored fabrics to eliminate the
possibility of hard water stains.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water used
in this appliance. Use tap water or
distilled/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.
Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
towel from the top down, in this
way the dirty water will not soil
surfaces already cleaned.
• Avoid changing brushes back and
forth while cleaning.
• Start with the smallest brush to
clean tight spots and corners first.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as
possible, otherwise it will dry and
re-adhere to the surface.
To Descale the Steam Cleaner
1. Unplug the steam cleaner from the
power source before you descale the
boiler. Allow the unit to cool
completely.
2. Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and
5 parts water and leave overnight or
for a period of approximately 8 hours.
Do not screw the safety/filler cap
onto the steam cleaner while you are
descaling the boiler. Do not use the
steam cleaner while descaling
solution is inside the boiler.
3. After the period of soaking is over,
turn the steam cleaner upside down
to empty the solution from the boiler.
Due to the fact that a small amount of
solution will be left in the boiler, it is
necessary to rinse the boiler out with
clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam
cleaner is now ready for use.
Care and Maintenance
If you consistently use demineralized
or distilled water, cleaning the tank is
unnecessary.
Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner
Normally, a periodic rinse of your
steam cleaner will free it from
deposits. This is recommended every
10-15 tankfulls, to free up any scale
deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler
halfway with water and shake the
cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner
upside down to empty the boiler of
water and any scale deposits.
Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a
high level of calcium deposits and you
have been using tap water to do your
steam cleaning, you should descale
your unit after 10-15 tankfulls.
