REMOVING THE MINERAL BUILD-UP

One common problem with steamer is mineral build-up caused by a high mineral in many municipal water suppliers. Mineral residue inside of the internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or, in some cases, no steaming at all. According to the water quality in different regions, it is advised to remove the mineral build-up after using 15-30 days. Please take a reference of the following procedures.

The procedures below can be used to reduce mineral build-up. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or distilled water, it is recommended to follow these procedures on a monthly basis.
