Preparing your Portable Power Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you

1. Unplug electrical cord from outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all connected accessories from unit.
4. Remove Boiler Cap and drain any water remaining in Boiler into sink or tub. Replace
Boiler Cap.
5. Store Portable Power Steam Cleaner and all accessories in a cool, dry place.
REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high mineral
content in many municipal water supplies, which may reduce the life of the your Portable
Power Steam Cleaner. The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled
or de-mineralized water. If you are unable to use distilled water, the following
procedure is recommended once every 2-3 uses.
1. Unplug electrical cord from outlet and allow unit to completely cool.
2. Remove all connected accessories from unit.
3. Remove Boiler Cap and drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub.
4. Using Measuring Cup, make a mixture of 8 oz. (237 ml.) vinegar and 8 oz. (237 ml.)
water.
5. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Boiler, then replace Boiler Cap.
6. Allow water-vinegar solution to sit in Boiler for for 40-60 minutes. Afterwards, shake
unit vigorously to further loosen mineral deposits.
7. Remove Boiler Cap and drain water-vinegar solution into a sink or tub.
8. Rinse out Boiler with fresh water until vinegar odor dissipates.
9. Replace Boiler Cap.
If distilled water is used, it is still a good idea to clean out Boiler after 15-20 hours of use.
Do not exceed 20 hours of use without cleaning unit.
