It is necessary to remove lime scale on a regular basis, every 25 times you use a full tank of water or once a month, especially in areas with hard water.

To remove lime scale from your H2O SteamFX™ Pro, please follow these instructions:

1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and add to the Water Tank.

2. Ensure that steam released is aimed away from any surrounding objects. Plug the appliance into a properly grounded electrical outlet, turn it ON and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is used up.

3. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow is achieved.

4. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out.

5. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water again, and release steam through the system until the Water Tank is empty.

6. Perform a test cleaning on a suitable isolated area after each lime scale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the system.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full Water Tank, close the Water Tank Cap and shake the contents. DO NOT TURN THE APPLIANCE ON. Let the unit sit for a few hours. Empty the Water Tank and rinse with clean water until it rinses clear.

Due to the high mineral content of water in some areas, some calcium buildup might develop inside the tip of the Nozzle. To clean, it is recommended to use a spray lubricant. Spray a small burst or two of the lubricant inside the tip of the Nozzle. After spraying the lubricant, fill the steamer with water and run a continuous jet of steam through the affected accessory for several minutes to remove the deposit. IT IS RECOMMENDED PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE IN A PROTECTED AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA.

Remember to remove lime-scale at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water.

Please follow instructions provided in this User’s Guide.

Use filtered or distilled water for better performance.
