Cleaning your steam cleaner
IMPORTANT: Always ensure before cleaning or maintaining the steam cleaner that it is switched off, unplugged
from the mains and cooled down to room temperature. Only clean the steam cleaner by wiping over the housing
with a slightly moistened cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, abrasives or alcohol since they may damage the
housing. Vax recommend that the tank be rinsed out after 5 filling operations at the latest if water hardness is
above 1.8 mmol/l (10 d/H). Information regarding local water hardness may be obtained from the water or utility
o
company. Vax recommend filling the water tank with water and giving it a good shake to clean it. This will loosen
any limescale that has been deposited on the bottom of the steam cleaner. Pour out the water and allow the tank
to dry out completely before closing it. The water tank should be treated with limescale remover approx. every
6 months to prolong the steam cleaner's life. Place one (or at most two) limescale removal sticks in 0.75 litre of
warm water (50 C) and fill the water tank with it. Allow the solution to work for approx. 30 minutes then pour
o
away the water with the dissolved solids. Repeat this process if necessary then rinse out the tank with water.
