PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Handheld Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished
your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes. Press Steam Button to release remaining steam
pressure.
3. Remove all connected accessories from unit.
4. Unscrew and remove Boiler Cap. Drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub - this
will help to minimize potential mineral build-up and prevent overfilling during next use.
5. Loosely replace Boiler Cap - do not screw on tightly, as this may make it difficult to remove for
next use.
6. Wrap power cord loosely around unit. Store Handheld Steam Cleaner in a cool, dry location,
along with all included accessories.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the
effectiveness and reduce the life of your Handheld Steam Cleaner.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Handheld Steam Cleaner. In addition, it is recommended that the Boiler be cleaned at
least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of
your Handheld Steam Cleaner and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To clean Boiler:
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during rinsing procedure.
2. Allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes. Press Steam Button to release remaining steam
pressure.
3. Remove all connected accessories from unit.
4. Unscrew and remove Boiler Cap, then drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub.
5. Using Measuring Cup, make a mixture of approximately 3 oz. (89 ml.) vinegar and 3 oz. (89 ml.)
distilled water.
NOTE: For best results, it is highly recommended that distilled or de-mineralized water be
used when cleaning Boiler.
6. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Boiler through fill hole.
7. Allow water-vinegar solution to soak in Boiler for roughly 30-45 minutes.
8. Drain water-vinegar solution out of Boiler into a sink or tub.
9. Thoroughly rinse Boiler with fresh water until vinegar odor dissipates, then replace Boiler Cap.
