Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam cleaner:

• Cleaning Pads: The microfiber cleaning pads are machine washable. After each use, remove the pad and wash it according to its care label. Do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the pad's absorbency.
• Emptying Water Tank: After each use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Descaling: Depending on water hardness in your area, periodic descaling may be necessary to prevent mineral buildup. Consult the full manual for detailed descaling instructions or use a steam cleaner-specific descaling solution.
• Storage: The Steam PLUS XXL is designed for space-saving storage. Simply detach the handle and store the unit in a small space or cabinet. Ensure the appliance is completely cool and dry before storing.
