5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

1. Ensure the steamer is unplugged and completely cooled down before cleaning.
2. Empty any remaining water from the water tank.
3. Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4. Clean the steam nozzle and brushes as needed to remove any lint or residue.

Descaling:

Over time, mineral deposits from water can build up inside the steamer. To descale, fill the water tank with a mixture of 50% water and 50% white vinegar. Run the steamer until half the solution is used, then unplug and let it cool. Repeat with clean water to rinse. Perform descaling every few months, depending on water hardness and usage frequency.

Storage:

Once the steamer is clean and dry, store it in a cool, dry place. Its compact size makes it ideal for storage in small spaces or for travel.
