MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit to spew water, limit the effectiveness, and reduce the life of your Dual Voltage Travel Iron.

In addition, it is recommended that the Reservoir be cleaned at least once a month to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of your unit and keep it functioning at its maximum potential.

TO REMOVE MINERAL BUILD-UP:
