C l eanin g SINGER recommends cleaning your garment steamer at least once a week. Remove the Water Tank by pulling upward on the handle. • Turn the switch to "Off" and unplug the garment steamer. • Allow the garment steamer to cool for at least 30 minutes. • Remove the Cool Touch Hose. Collapse and remove the Telescopic Pole. • Remove and drain the Water Tank. Rinse it with fresh water and let it drain completely. Place it back on the Water Reservoir. • Drain the water tank by removing the Drain Plug and emptying the contents. • Flush the unit by filling the Water Reservoir and the Hose Connector with fresh water and draining completely. Replace the Drain Plug. • Wrap the hose around the Telescopic Pole once, placing the Steam Head on the Steam Head Hanger to store. Removing Mineral Build-Up It is common for minerals found in hard water to build up inside the steamer, causing intermittent or weak steam. Depending on your water quality, SINGER recommends removing the mineral build-up after the first 1 to 2 weeks of using this steamer. If you do not use de-mineralized or distilled water in your steamer, follow these steps monthly. • Turn the switch to "Off" and unplug the steamer. • Remove the Cool Touch Hose. Collapse and remove the Telescopic Pole. • Drain the Water Reservoir, and empty the water from the Water Tank. • Prepare a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup water. • Slowly pour the solution into the Hose Connector until the Water Reservoir is about half full, near the top of the hose. • Let the solution stand for about 40 minutes. • Drain the solution by removing the Drain Plug and emptying the solution into a sink or tub. • Drain the solution from the Hose Connector by tilting the unit over a sink or tub and pouring the water out. • Pour clean water into the Hose Connector and Water Reservoir inlet and drain. Repeat this step until the vinegar odor dissipates. • Reassemble the unit. 10
