manual abstract
Mineral residue inside of the internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or in severe cases no steaming at all. 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 monthly 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. 5. Make a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water. In most cases 1 cup of this mixture will be sufficient. 6. Slowly pour the water-vinegar mixture into the hose connector. a. If the internal piping is only partially blocked by mineral buildup, the water-vinegar mixture will soon start flowing out of the water intake hole. If this happens proceed to step 8. b. If the internal piping is completely blocked, continue to pour the mixture into the hose connector till full. 7. Pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water intake hole until full. 8. Let stand for 40 minutes. 9. Drain the water using the drain plug. 10. Pour clean water through the hose base and water intake hole until the vinegar smell dissipates. 11. Reassemble the unit and operate normally. If the procedure above does not return the unit to normal operation, the unit may need servicing.

Water mineral content and conditions will vary in different areas. To insure continued operation of the steamer, never store without cleaning and removing excess water from the resevoir and water container. 2. If the reset light comes on with water in the tank you probably need to declarify (clean) the unit. 3. In areas where the voltage exceeds 120V, it may be necessary to clean your unit more frequently. 9 TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY (Valid in USA only) PS-200C 1/27/05 10:32 AM Page 11 Mail to: Consumer Relations Home Touch Service Center, Dept. 168 3000 Pontiac Trail Commerce Township, MI 48390 Email: cservice@hometouchproducts.com TM HoMedics, Inc., guarantees this product free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of original purchase, except as noted below.
