Cleaning the water t ank
Empty and cle an the water tank af ter each use. Use deter gent to clean the acce ssor ies (jet nozzle and r ound
brushe s) if they are dir ty. Then leave them to air dr y.
Descalin g the inside of the water tank
T o get rid of lime scale deposits inside t he water tank, add a t ablespoon or t wo of white vinegar to the water-
filled tank , put on the cap, and shake. DO NOT TURN ON T HE ST EAM CLE ANER. L eave the container f or a few

WARNING: Never f ully immerse the appliance in water.
Removal of limescale deposit s
If the appliance begins to generat e steam more slowly than usual , or stops producing ste am altogether,
limescale r emoval may be required. The se deposits build up on metal par ts o ver time and significantly affect
the per formance of t he mop. Limesc ale deposits should be removed regular ly, approximately after each 25 to
50 tank fills, or at le ast once a month. T his is especially tr ue in hard water areas . The cleaning inter vals depend
on the degree of hardne ss of the water and how intensi vely the mop is used.
T o remove limesc ale deposits from the appliance, ple ase follow the inst ruc tions below:
Cleaning with a c leaning solution:
1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vine gar and 2/3 tap water and pour it into the water t ank.
2. Fix the appliance in plac e, ensuring that the ste am cleaner is not pointed at floors , surrounding object s
or sur faces. P lug in the appliance, pres s the steam but ton and let it produce ste am until the vinegar and
water solution has all tur ned to steam.
3. Repeat the above proce ss as many time s as neces sar y until the ste am output retur ns to a normal level.
4. Fill the water t ank with fresh wat er and rinse.
5. Fill the water t ank with fresh wat er , put it back on t he appliance, and release ste am until the tank is
empty.
WARNING: SC ALDING HA Z AR D
Never leave the ste am cleaner unattended dur ing the limesc ale removal proces s or during nor mal use.
Note : Before use, te st the appliance in a suit able place to ensure that there is no debr is remaining inside it.
6. Cleaning clogged acce ssor ies : Due to the high mineral content of water in some are as, you may
experience le ss ste am being generated by your handheld steam cle aner . T his could be due to limesc ale
deposits in the nozzle tip.
7. T o remove limesc ale deposits, plea se proceed as follows : We recommend using a spray-on lubr icant .
Spray once or t wice into the tip of the nozzle. T hen, according to t he instruc tions, fill the steam c leaner
with water and continuously gener ate steam thr ough the affected opening for a few minute s to remove
the deposit.
8. Once the affected par t is clean and t he steam is free to exit , point the steam cle aner at a neutral sur face
or cleaning cloth to ensur e no leftover par ticle s are escaping wit h the steam.
