MIRACLE STEAMER
12 P/N 1010456 Rev. C 08/12
A.J. Antunes & Co.
NOTE: If deposits are still excessive and/or diffi-
cult to remove, refer to Steps 6 and 11.
6. Pour delimer solution (not supplied) onto the
Generator surface. Follow the delimer manufac-
turer’s instructions for proper mixture and use.
7. Using a sponge or a dry towel, remove the
delimer solution from the Generator surface, then
rinse with clean water.
Monthly
The Miracle Steamer utilizes an open steam generator.
Water sprayed onto the Generator surface flashes into
steam immediately, but the minerals in the water do not
steam, they stay on the Generator surface. A small
amount of calcium/mineral deposits are needed for
proper operation, but a buildup of excessive calcium/
mineral deposits causes poor steaming efficiency,
excessive moisture (wet steam) and will eventually
severely hinder the steaming action.
1. Turn the power off, unplug the power cord, and
allow the unit to cool down.
2. Perform the Daily cleaning, but do NOT reas-
semble the unit.
3. Remove the Wing Nut, Generator Cover, and
Diffuser (Figure 8). Wash these items in hot,
soapy water, rinse and WIPE DRY.
4. With the unit cool, use a wire brush and/or
scraper to loosen and remove the excessive
calcium/mineral deposits from the Generator
surface (Figure 8).
5. Take a wire brush and clean out any buildup from
the 28 Steam Ports (26 vertical and 2 horizontal)
of the Generator (Figure 8). Remove the loose
buildup, wipe the Generator with a clean, damp
cloth, and reassemble the unit.
CAUTION
If a chemical cleaner/delimer is used, be sure it is
safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all pre-
cautions and warnings on the product label.
MAINTENANCE (continued)
NOTE: To ensure proper steaming characteristics,
some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on
the Generator surface. If, during cleaning, the sur-
face does become free of calcium/mineral deposits,
add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to
boil off. If necessary, repeat this process to formu-
late a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits.
NOTE: In soft water areas, it may be necessary
to add a small amount of lime to the Generator to
“season” it. This will ensure proper steaming char-
acteristics by producing a thin coating of calcium/
mineral deposits on the Generator surface.
Seasoning mixture consists of 3/4 ounces (25ml/
25cc) baking soda, 3/4 ounces (25ml/25cc) lime
mixed with 1 quart (950ml/950cc) of water. Stir
mixture and pour 1/4” deep onto the hot Generator
surface. After mixture is converted to steam, the
remaining loose power can be removed.
8. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet.
9. Turn the power on and allow the unit to warm up
for approximately 30 minutes.
10. Push and release the OPERATE button or the
START/STOP button several times to operate the
steamer. This purges any remaining delimer
residue from the Generator surface.
11. Turn the power off, reinstall all parts and accesso-
ries, and return the unit to service.
