Operating Instructions

4. Cleaning Technique:
   • Hold the nozzle close to the surface for effective cleaning.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your steam cleaner.

• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the steam cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Emptying Water Tank: After each use, ensure the unit is cool and unplugged. Carefully empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Descaling (Optional, but Recommended): Depending on water hardness, mineral deposits may build up over time. To descale, fill the tank with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Let it sit for 30 minutes (do not heat). Empty the solution and rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.
• Storing: Store the steam cleaner and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure the unit is completely cool and dry before storing.
