Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steamer.

• Empty Water Tank: After each use, always empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Descaling (Monthly/Bi-monthly): If you notice reduced steam output or mineral buildup, descale the steamer. Fill the water tank with a mixture of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Run the steamer until half the solution is used, then unplug and let it sit for 30 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining solution. Finally, run two full tanks of fresh water through the steamer to rinse.
• Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the water tank is empty before storage.
