CLEANING AND STORING

b. Wait for the steamer to cool completel y for at least 30 minutes.
c. Remove and drain the water container.
Drain the unit by removing the drain
plug and allowing the contents of the,
reservoir to drain. Tip the unit in the
direction of the drain plug to remove
remaining water. Replace the plug.
d. Remove the steamer hose and
hanger rod.
e. Remove the water tank.
f. Remove excess water from the
reservoir by lifting the unit and
pouring. Flush the reservoir area with
fresh water to clean any residue from
the water source.
g. Pour fresh water into threaded pipe of steam hose. Then remove water
from reservoir to clean any residue inside the steamer. If there is too
much residue, you may use soft water to soak and flush the reservoir.
h. Reattach the hose, hanger rod and water container and store the unit.
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES
During operation the steamer hose may
gurgle.
This is a normal result of
condensation collecting inside the hose.
Simply lift the control handle upward until
the hose is extended to its full height. The
gurgling will disappear when the excess
moisture inside the hose has had a chance
to drain back into the base. If the steamer
stops producing steam then starts again.
You may wish to examine the inside of the
reservoir. The most common reason for
this effect is the accumulation of sediment
from mineral laden water. Clean the
offending sediment from inside the unit ,
first following the steps for cooling and
cleaning the unit as presented previously.
