1.Fabric Brush
Helpsopenthefabricforgreatersteampenetration.
-Attachthefabricbrushontothesteamnozzle(Fig.3).
-Movethefabricbrushinadownwardmotionfromtoptobottomgentlybrushingthefabric.
2.Crease Clamp
Helpscreateastraightcrease
-Attachthecreaseclamptothesteamnozzle(Fig.5).
-Pushthetriggertoopenthecreaseclamp.
-Placethegarmentbetweenthecreaseclampandsteamnozzle.
-Releasethetrigger.

Cleaning and Maintenance
1.Besurethesteameristurnedoffandunplugged.
2.Allowthesteamertocoolforatleast30minutes.
3.Emptyanyexcesswaterfromthewatertankandallowittoairdrybeforereplacingthecap
andsettingitbackintheunit.
4.Emptyexcesswaterfromthereservoirbytippingunitoverasink.

Removing Mineral Buildup
Onecommonproblemwithsteamersismineralbuildupcausedbythehighmineralcontent
inmanymunicipalwatersupplies.Mineralresidueinsideoftheinternalpipesandheatercan

Thebestwaytoavoidthisistousede-mineralizedordistilledwaterintheunit.Theprocedure
belowcanbeusedtoclearmineralbuildup.Ifyouareunabletousede-mineralizedordistilled
waterwerecommendyouusethisprocedureevery30hoursofoperationtohelpavoidmineral
buildup.
1.Turntheunitoffandunplugthepowercord.
2.Unscrewandremovethehosefromthehoseconnectoronthetopoftheunit.
3.Removethepolefromtheunit.
4.Removethewatertankfromthemainunitanddrainanywaterintheunitoverasink.
5.Makeamixtureof4oz.whitevinegarand4oz.water.Inmostcases1cupofthismixturewill
