Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/filler cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler.
Do not use the steam cleaner while descaling solution is inside the boiler.
Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.
Note: When storing your unit, always drain any residual water in the boiler and do not tighten the safety filler cap onto the unit. Always leave the safety filler cap loose on the unit when not in
