IMPORTANT NOTES

• Using distilled, purified or filtered water is highly recommended to maintain optimal performance. Tap water contains minerals that build up over time.
• Any water droplets visible inside the tank upon unpacking are from individual quality control tests done to ensure every steamer meets our high standards for product performance.
• Do not use perfumes, oils or other additives.
• Always review the garment manufacturer’ scare label instructions before steaming, and always test fabrics for colorfastness in inconspicuous areas (such as an inseam). Steamers are not recommended for use on leather, suede,  inyl, plastic or other steam-sensitive fabrics.

STORING YOUR CLEVAST STEAMER

1. Store it in a cool dry place.
2. DO NOT wrap the power cord around the unit, place it loosely.

NOTE: Water containing mineral levels will vary depending on the place where you live in. To ensure the continuous operation of the steamer, never store it without cleaning and removing excess water from the water container or tank. If you fill your steamer with tap water, you may experience mineral build-up due to the high mineral content in the water supply in many cities. Mineral residue inside your steamer’ s internal heater may cause intermittent steaming or, in
severe cases no steaming at all.
To avoid the problem, only use de-mineralized or distilled water in your steamer. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you to follow the cleaning procedure below at least once a month to help avoid mineral build-up.
ANTI CALC

• Do this operation in a vented room.

1. Remove the water tank.
2. Fill the water tank with 0.1oz citric acid (you can also use 50% water and 50% white vinegar).
3. Return the water tank to its place on the appliance. Make sure the water tank is fully set in place.
4. Switch on the appliance.
5.  Wait at least 35 seconds before pressing the steam button.
6. Allow the appliance to run until the water tank has completely emptied.
