Maintenance guide for your vertical steamer
We've included an explanatory video with this article to guide you step by step. Follow these visual instructions for efficient, stress-free vertical steamer maintenance.
Steps for maintaining your vertical steamer
1. Drain your steamer
Before starting, make sure that your appliance is switched off and has cooled down completely, to avoid any risk of scalding. The drain plug is usually located on the underside of the steamer. Place the appliance over a sink, open the drain plug and let the water drain out completely. This step removes any residual stagnant water or limescale.
2. Descale your steamer
Limescale is one of the main enemies of steam appliances. Here's how to descale effectively:
Mix one third white vinegar and two thirds water. Pour the solution into your steamer’s tank. Turn on the steamer and let it heat up. Allow the solution to drain completely to clean its internal pipes.
Once the tank is empty, rinse it with clean water to remove all traces of vinegar.
Additional care tips
To ensure optimum use of your steamer, follow this care routine:
- Empty the tank after each use: avoid water remaining stagnant in the tank if you don't use it every day.
- Descale every 2 months: if you use tap water frequently, descale regularly to prevent limescale build-up.
- Clean the nozzles: Check the steam nozzles and clean them when necessary.
