3.3 Water Refill Indicator and Automatic Shut-off
- The "WATER LOW" indicator light will illuminate when the water level in the reservoir is low. Refill with distilled water immediately to prevent damage to the heating element.

3.4 Removing Towels
Use heat-resistant gloves or tongs when removing hot towels from the steamer to avoid burns.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Regular Cleaning
- Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- The interior, including the stainless-steel shelves and walls, should be cleaned regularly to prevent mineral buildup.
- Remove the shelves and clean them separately with mild soap and water.
- Wipe down the interior walls and the bottom of the reservoir.
4.2 Preventing Mineral Buildup and Rust
- Only use distilled water in the reservoir. Tap water contains minerals that will accumulate and can cause rust and damage to the heating element and interior surfaces.
- Regularly empty and clean the water reservoir to remove any sediment or mineral deposits.
- Ensure towels are free of chemical residues (e.g., bleach, fabric softeners) before steaming, as these can contribute to corrosion.
