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 Deluxe Canister Steam System.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when using
your Deluxe Canister Steam System. 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.
