Preparing your Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you
have nished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap. Drain any water remaining in Reservoir into a sink or tub,
then add 1 oz. water. Shake to release mineral buildup and empty tank to minimize potential
mineral build-up. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.
4. Bundle power cord loosely.
5. Store Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer in a cool, dry location.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit
to spew water, limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your Deluxe Compact Garment
Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water
when using your Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the
Reservoir be cleaned at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will
help to extend the life of your Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer and keep it functioning at its
maximumpotential.
Maintenance:
After EACH USE, allow unit to cool, add 1 oz. water, shake to release mineral buildup and
empty tank.
To remove mineral build-up:
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during cleaning procedure.
2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain any water remaining in Reservoir into a sink or tub.
4. Using a measuring cup, measure 4 oz. (118 ml.) of vinegar.
5. Slowly pour vinegar into Reservoir.
6. Allow vinegar to soak in Reservoir for 30-40 minutes.
7. Drain vinegar from Reservoir into a sink or tub. Rell Reservoir with fresh water, drain and
repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.
8. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.
9. Bundle power cord loosely and store Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer in a cool, dry
location.
