PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Fabric Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have fin-
ished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all attachments from unit.
4. Drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to prevent
over-filling during your next use.
5. Unhook three extension locks on Telescopic Pole, and press down on Pole Top
to collapse Pole into compact storage position. Re-lock extension locks.
6. Wrap Hose loosely around Telescopic Pole one time, and hang Steam Nozzle
from Steam Nozzle Holder.
7. Store all attachments safely away, preferably inside Storage Compartment or near
Fabric Steamer.
8. Store Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location.
REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. The best way to avoid this is
to use de-mineralized or distilled water in unit. If you are unable to use de-
mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you use this procedure monthly to
help avoid mineral build-up:
1. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug grounded power
cord from electrical outlet. Allow unit to completely cool.
2. Remove all accessories from unit.
3. Flip up Compartment Lid and remove Water Reservoir Cap.
4. Drain water from Water Reservoir into sink or tub.
5. Using Measuring Cup, make a mixture of 8 oz. (236 ml.) vinegar and 8 oz.
(236 ml.) water.
6. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Reservoir.
7. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.
8. Drain water-vinegar solution from Water Reservoir.
9. Rinse Water Reservoir with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor
dissipates.
10. Replace Water Reservoir Cap and lower Compartment Lid back down.
