After use
1Switch the cleaner off and unplug from the socket. Wait until the cleaner has cooled down completely.
2Release any steam pressure by pressing the steam trigger on the handle
3Apply the steam safety lock.
4Remove the filler cap.
5Empty the water tank. Allow the inside of the water tank to dry out before replacing filler cap.
Rinse water tank
To clean the water tank fill it with clean water and shake vigorously. This will release any limescale deposits that have collected on the bottom of the tank. Pour the water out by holding upside down.
Descaling
In order to prolong the life of your cleaner you should descale the steam tank at least every 6 months.
1Switch the cleaner off, unplug and allow to cool.
2Empty any water out of the tank.
3Mix the descaler in the measuring jug using warm water. We recommend using 50gm of citric acid crystals per 1 litre of water. Citric acid crystals are available from most pharmacies.
4Pour 1 litre of the descaler solution into the tank.
5Fit the cap and tighten fully.
6Using the handle, move the steam cleaner about to swill the solution around the tank.
7Leave for 30 minutes.
8Empty the solution carefully.
9Rinse the tank with clean warm water, then empty.
10Wipe the outside of the cleaner with a damp cloth to remove all traces of descaler solution.
WARNING: Do not switch on the
heater with the descaling solution inside.
