Descaling - Shark S3300 Owner's Manual

TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Care and Maintenance
If you consistently use demineralized or
distilled water, cleaning the tank is
unnecessary.
Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner
Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam
cleaner will free it from deposits. This is
recommended every 10-15 tankfulls, to
free up any scale deposits from the tank.
Fill the boiler with 20 oz. of water and
shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the
cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of
water and any scale deposits.
Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high
level of calcium deposits and you have
been using tap water to do your steam
cleaning, you should descale your unit
after 10-15 tankfulls.
To Descale the Steam Cleaner
1. Unplug the steam cleaner from the
power source before you descale the
boiler. Allow to cool.
2. Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 5
parts water and leave overnight or for
a period of approximately 8 hours. Do
not screw the safety/filler cap onto the
steam cleaner while you are descaling
the boiler. Do not use the steam
cleaner while descaling solution is
inside the boiler.
3. After the period of soaking, turn the
steam cleaner upside down to empty
solution from the boiler. Due to the
fact that a small amount of solution will
be left in the boiler, it is necessary to
rinse the boiler out with clean water 2
or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now
ready for use.
Water
• Use tap water for all your cleaning
needs.
• However, if you live in an area with
hard water, use de-mineralized /
distilled water when steaming light
colored fabrics to eliminate the
possibility of hard water stains.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT add cleaning
solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any
other chemicals to the water used in
this appliance. Use tap water or
distilled/purified water if the tap
water in your area is very hard.
Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe with a
towel from the top down, in this
way the dirty water will not soil
surfaces already cleaned.
• Avoid changing brushes back and
forth while cleaning.
• Start with the smallest brush to
clean tight spots and corners first.
• Use a towel to wipe dirt as soon as
possible, otherwise it will dry and
re-adhere to the surface.
