Removing Mineral Build-Up

It is common for minerals found in hard water to build up inside the
steamer, causing intermittent or weak steam. Depending on your
water quality, SINGER recommends removing the mineral build-up
after the first 1 to 2 weeks of using this steamer. If you do not use
de-mineralized or distilled water in your steamer, follow these steps
monthly.
• Turn the switch to "Off" and unplug the steamer.
• Remove the Cool Touch Hose. Collapse and remove the Telescopic
Pole.
• Drain the Water Reservoir, and empty the water from the Water
Tank.
• Prepare a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup water.
• Slowly pour the solution into the Hose Connector until the Water
Reservoir is about half full, near the top of the hose.
• Let the solution stand for about 40 minutes.
• Drain the solution by removing the Drain Plug and emptying the
solution into a sink or tub.
• Drain the solution from the Hose Connector by tilting the unit over a
sink or tub and pouring the water out.
• Pour clean water into the Hose Connector and Water Reservoir inlet
and drain. Repeat this step until the vinegar odor dissipates.
• Reassemble the unit.
