Descaling Your Steam Cleaner
If the tap water in you area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after
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.

Before Re-Filling:
Step 1: Press the steam switch on the hand grip to the “On” position to vent any remaining steam that is in the boiler.
Step 2: Press the steam switch to the “Off” position, turn the unit off, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and let the unit cool for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet, assure that the On/Off switch is in the Off position and press
the steam switch on the hand grip to the “ON” position to vent any residual steam that is in the boiler. (Fig 1)
Step 4: Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet and turn the steam switch on the hand grip to the “OFF” position. (Fig. 1)
Step 5: Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Slowly turn the safety filler cap counter clockwise until it is removed.
Step 6: Insert the funnel into the tank opening and add 84 US Fl Oz (2.4L) of water. (Fig. 2) Place the funnel in the tank opening as illustrated in Fig. 2. The funnel has been specially designed to show when the water tank is full. When
water starts to come out of the vent hole of the funnel, the tank is full. Remove the funnel slowly and let the remaining water in it go inside the water tank. Do Not Overfill.
Step 7: Replace the Safety Filler Cap.
WARNING: Allow unit to cool for 15 minutes before refilling. When
refilling the steam cleaner while the boiler is still hot, there is a risk that water will squirt back during filling and cause scalding. Extreme care should be taken when refilling the unit. Use caution when opening the Safety/Filler Cap as cap may become hot during use and escaping steam can cause scalding.
