Wind the power cord on its storage place under the appliance. • Remove the steam hose. Be careful there may be hot water remaining in the steam hose after use. Always remove the steam hose before emptying your appliance. • Empty the water container from the opening shown in diagram 9b. • Place the steam connector back into place. Wrap the hose around the steamer and insert the steam head onto its housing. The head slides over the raised channels for secure storage. • You can carry your steamer by its handle for easy portability and storage. For cord winding or transport, never turn your appliance upside down. Empty all water from the unit before storing it. Cleaning Clean the main unit with a damp cloth. To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled occasionally. The descaling intervals will depend on the water quality and the frequency of use. The unit should be descaled at least once a year or every 100 hours of use. For descaling proceed as follows: 1. Unplug the unit and fill it with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. 2. Let the appliance run for 3 minutes and do not steam any clothing with this mixture. 3. Switch the appliance off. Unplug it and allow to cool down for at least 30 minutes. 4. Empty the water over the sink. Rinse the appliance with fresh water. 5. Fill the unit with fresh water and repeat steps 2-4. 8 If after descaling you believe that there is still buildup in the appliance, repeat this operation. Use a new solution of vinegar and water each time you repeat steps 1 and 2. TROUBLESHOOTING Problems Possible causes Solutions There is no steam. The steamer is not turned on.
