STORAGE & CARE
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Canister Steam Cleaner for storage is quick and simple. When you have
finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Turn unit "Off" and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Press and hold Steam Trigger to release all remaining steam.
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Carefully remove Reservoir Cap.
6. Drain any remaining water from Reservoir into a sink or tub – this will help to minimize
mineral build-up and prevent over-filling during your next use. Replace Reservoir Cap
loosely.
7. Store accessories in storage bag included with the unit.
8. Store Canister Steam Cleaner in a cool, dry location.
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 Canister Steam Cleaner.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water
when using your Canister Steam Cleaner. If you are unable to use distilled water, it is
recommended that the following procedure be followed monthly to remove any
mineral build-up:
1. Turn unit "Off" and unplug power cord.
2. Allow unit to completely cool (at least 30 minutes).
3. Press and hold Steam Trigger to release all remaining steam.
4. Remove all accessories from unit.
5. Carefully remove Reservoir Cap.
6. Drain water from Reservoir into a sink or tub.
7. Using Measuring Cup, measure 8 oz. (237 ml.) of vinegar.
8. Slowly pour vinegar into Reservoir.
9. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.
10. Drain vinegar from Reservoir.
11. Rinse Reservoir with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.
