Care and Maintenance

If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary.

Rinsing Out the Steam Cleaner

Normally, a periodic rinse of your steam cleaner will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10-15 tankfulls, to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with 20 oz. of water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty the boiler of water and any scale deposits.

been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10-15 tankfulls.

To Descale the Steam Cleaner

Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to cool.

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 use.
