PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you
have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Switch Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug grounded power cord from
electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all accessories from unit.
4. Drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to prevent over-filling
during your next use.
5. Store accessories safely away, near Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner. Utility Brushes can be
conveniently stored in the Storage Compartment.
6. Store Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner 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 Storage 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. (237 ml.) vinegar and 8 oz. (237 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 Storage Compartment lid back down.
