Descaling Procedure
Baking Soda
- Empty the tank.
- Mix 1 ½ ounces of baking soda with one quart of distilled water.
- Fill the empty tank with this mix.
- Tighten the cap and allow the unit to heat up and stay warm for 1 to 2 hours.
- Run the unit for about one minute, turn off and unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool, usually about for 3 to 4 hours.
- Remove the drain plug and empty the tank.
- Flush the tank as many times as necessary to remove all debris in the tank.
- Reinstall the drain plug.
Vinegar
- Remove the drain plug on the bottom of the unit.
- Mix together a solution of ½ distilled vinegar & ½ distilled water.
- Using the funnel, fill the water tank with this solution.
- Turn on the unit, allow it to heat up and steam out about ½ of the mixture.
- Turn off the unit and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Repeat this process until the steam flow returns to normal (could be 2 to 3 times). NOTE: there is an odor associated with this process.
