PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Compact Fabric Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have fi nished
your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove Accessory Adapter from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
4. Unscrew and remove Boiler Cap. Drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub, to
minimize potential mineral build-up. Replace Boiler Cap (do not fully tighten).
5. Bundle power cord loosely.
6. Store Compact Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location, along with all included accessories.
MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may limit the
effectiveness and reduce the life of your Compact Fabric Steamer.
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Compact Fabric Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the Boiler be cleaned
at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life
of your Compact Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.
To remove mineral build-up:
1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during cleaning procedure.
2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove Accessory Adapter from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
4. Remove Boiler Cap and drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub.
5. Using a measuring cup (not included), make a mixture of 3 oz. (89 ml.) water and 3 oz. (89 ml.)
vinegar.
6. Pour water/vinegar solution into Boiler.
7. Allow water/vinegar solution to soak in boiler for 30-40 minutes.
8. Drain water/vinegar solution from Boiler into a sink or tub. Refi ll Boiler with fresh water, drain
and repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.
9. Replace Boiler Cap (do not fully tighten).
10. Bundle power cord loosely and store Compact Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location, along
with all included accessories.

The Accessory Adapter is designed to fi t around the Steam Nozzle, allowing the Fabric Brush
or Lint Remover to be used while steaming.
•
The Boiler Cap (2) is designed to safely contain steam inside the Boiler, while providing easy
access to the Boiler’s fi ll hole. The Boiler Cap must be unscrewed and removed in order to fi ll
the Boiler with water.
•
The Power Light (3) illuminates when the unit is plugged in.
•
The Handle (4) is designed to stay cool while providing maximum grip and comfort.
•
The Boiler Level Window (5) permits a clear view of the water level inside the Boiler, and is
marked to indicate the maximum water level for easy fi lling.
•
The Boiler (6) is the internal reservoir where water is held and converted into steam. For
optimal steam production, the Boiler should not be fi lled past the MAX mark (7 oz. / 200 ml.)
indicated on the Boiler Level Window.
•
The Accessory Adapter (7) is the rubber housing that is used to connect the Fabric Brush and
Lint Remover to the Steam Nozzle.
•
The Fabric Brush (8) fi ts into the Accessory Adapter and is designed to brush away large
