CLEANING PROCEDURE TO REMOVE LIMESCALE

If your Steam Mop begins to produce less steam than usual or stops producing steam, you may need to remove limescale. Limescale can develop over time on the metal parts and greatly affect your POWER STEAM’s performance.
It is necessary to remove limescale on a regular basis; every 25-30 times you use a full tank of water or at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water.
The frequency of limescale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the POWER STEAM.

Follow this procedure to remove limescale:

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and add to the Water Tank
2. ecure and position the unit to ensure steam is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects and surfaces
3. Plug the unit in and turn ON by pressing the power button and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution in used up
4. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow rate is achieved
5. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out
6. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water, attach to the unit and release steam through the system until the water tank is empty

WARNING: Don’t leave the steamer unattended during the limescale removal process and/or while in use. ”
NOTICE: Preform a test clean on a suitable isolated area after each limescale removal to ensure that there is no residue left in the system.
