The boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup removed

from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period between cleanings

depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness of the water used. If the

unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we recommend a cleaning every two

weeks to a month.

TO CLEAN THE BOILER UNIT

1. Unplug the unit from the wall.

2. Disconnect the iron (i500), the steam gun (i500B) or the steam nozzle (i500A)

from the boiler unit. (The steam nozzle on the i500A may be left on the unit if

desired. It does not affect the cleaning instructions.)

3. Add a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water and pour inside the boiler

4. Pick up the boiler unit and pour approximately half of the solution out of the boiler

tank. Vigorously shake/swirl the remaining solution around the tank to loosen

and pick up any softened sediment that may have accumulated inside. Pour the

remainingsolutionoutofthetank.Youmayseebitsofsedimentandmineralcome

out at this point.

5. Rinse the tank with clean water until there is no smell of vinegar or any sediment

bits coming from inside the tank. NOTE: Sediment/mineral pieces can be blown

into the solenoid valve or the steam nozzle during operation so it is important that

they are not left in the tank after cleaning.

6. The unit is now ready for use.
