Cleaning
Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To maintain
maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled
occasionally. The time between descaling operations
depends on the quality of the water and the frequency
with which you use the appliance. The appliance must
be descaled at least once a year or after 50 hours of use.
To carry out a descaling operation, follow the following
steps:
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down
completely. Unplug the unit and remove the steam hose
from main unit. Collapse the telescopic pole.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and attach it to the
main unit again , allowing water to fill the boiler.
3. Remove the tank from main unit and empty the water
from the boiler through the open hose connector into a
sink. Scale and other residues will be rinsed out.
4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 several times until the scale has
been removed.
TIP: For more effective descaling, after every 50 hours of use, use descalers availa-
ble at your store recommanded for garment steamers or electric kettles. To avoid
irritant vapors, use products based on citric acid only.
Follow the products instruction for use with garment steamers or electric kettles.
