Cleaning and maintenance

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the steam is turned to OFF and UNPLUGGED before cleaning or
attempting to store the item. NEVER IMMERSE THE STEAM IRON & GARMENT
STEAMER in water or any other liquid. NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG WITH WET HANDS.
1. Do not leave water in the tank when unit is not in use, as it may result in the
buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of
the steam iron & garment steamer. PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the
water tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
2. Use a dry, soft cloth and non-abrasive detergent to clean the steam iron &
garment steamer surface. Do not use solvents such as gasoline or alcohol.
3. To empty the water tank, open the water inlet and rotate the steam iron &
garment steamer to empty completely.
4. Always be sure the steam iron & garment steamer and accessories are fully cool
before cleaning.
5. Do not add liquid, other than water, into the water tank (such as cleaning
solvents, chemical lotion, salt water, perfume and dye). Many of these are
inflammable and can cause person injury. Adding these liquids can damage or
obstruct the steam system of the product
Disinfecting the water tank
1. Fill water tank half full with 1-2oz (50-60ml) with water and vinegar, according the
ratio of 1:1. Replace water inlet cap and mix around so it touches all sides of tank.
2. Press the steam trigger button for 40 seconds (or 40 bursts). Fill the water tank
with water only, each time it runs out, during the process. Repeat until the
vinegar smell disappears.
3. Leave water inlet open and allow to dry. Once completely dry, close before
storing.
NOTE: It is recommended to clean the steam iron & garment steamer from time to
time (every month or every 10-15 full tanks consumed), or if cleaning seems
necessary, with the water and vinegar solution as stated above. Dry all parts
thoroughly before using or storing.
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep this steamer clean from mineral deposits normally
contained in any water supply, will affect the efficiency of the operation. Customer's
failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.
