Removing

Mineral

Buildup

One common problem with steamers is mineral buildup caused by the high

mineral content in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of the

internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or in severe cases no

steaming at all.

The best way to avoid this is to use de

mineralized or distilled water in the unit.

The procedure below can be used to clear mineral buildup. If you are unable to

use de-mineralized or distilled water we recommend you use this procedure

monthly to help avoid mineral buildup.

1. Turn the unit off and unplug the

power

cord.

Unscrew and remove the hose from the hose connector on the top

the

unit.

Remove the pole from the unit.

4. Remove the water tank from the main unit and drain any water in the

unit.

Make a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water. I

most cases 1 cup of

this mixture will be sufficient.

Slo

wly pour

the water-vinegar mixture into the hose connector.

the internal piping is only partially blocked by mineral

buildup, the water-vinegar mixture will soon start flowing out

of the water intake hole. If this happens proceed

step

b. If the internal piping is completely blocked, continue to pour

the mixture into the hose connector till full.

Pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water intake hole until full.

Let stand for 40 minutes.

9. Drain the water using the drain plug.

10. Pour clean water through the hose base and water intake hole until the

vinegar smell dissipates.

11. Reassemble the unit and operate normally.

If the procedure above does not return the unit to normal operation, the unit may

need servicing.
