DECALCIFICATION
If the appliance begins to produce steam more slowly than usual, if
the steamer stops producing steam and then starts again, you may
need to decalcify your steamer. Decalcication refers to removing
the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the
steamer. For best performance from your Conair Garment Steamer,
decalcify the unit from time to time. The frequency depends
upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the
steamer.
To decalcify, use a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water in the
water reservoir. Plug the unit into electrical outlet. Turn to the ON
position and run until half the amount has steamed. Turn the unit
to the OFF position, unplug from electrical outlet, and allow to sit
for 30 minutes.
Remove excess water from the reservoir by lifting the unit, inverting
and pouring the water over sink, and allowing water to drain from
internal reservoir. Repeat the above procedure as many times as
necessary until a normal steam rate returns, usually 2-3 times. With
each repeated cycle, use a fresh solution of vinegar and water. Run
one cycle of fresh, cold water through the unit at the completion of
decalcication, before using the unit again to steam garments.
