Frequently Asked Questions - SF-540 SteamFast

How to fill the water tank?

Remove the water tank from the main unit. Hold it upside down, unscrew the cap counterclockwise, and fill with water up to 78 oz (2,307 ml). Replace the cap by turning clockwise and put the tank back into the unit. You can refill at any time, even during use.

What type of water to use?

It is strongly recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to reduce mineral buildup. Tap water can be used but increases scale formation. Never use any other chemicals or cleaners, only Steamfast citric acid for descaling.

How to attach the fabric brush?

Make sure the unit is off and not producing steam. Align the back tab of the brush with the groove on the face of the steam nozzle, then press firmly until it snaps into place. Never attach accessories when the unit is hot or producing steam.

How to descale the unit?

Turn off and unplug the unit, let it cool. Empty the tank and reservoir. Mix one packet of Steamfast citric acid in 236 ml of hot water, pour into the tank, then put it back. Plug in and turn on until the tank is empty. Turn off, empty the reservoir, and rinse with hot water. Repeat if necessary every 30 to 40 uses.

What to do in case of excessive gurgling or water dripping from the nozzle?

Some gurgling is normal. If excessive, point the nozzle downward and shake it vigorously to expel droplets. This may also be due to condensation buildup in the hose; let it heat for a few minutes. If the problem persists, descaling may be necessary.

Can I use the unit on all fabrics?

Consult the fabric manufacturer's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area. Avoid non-sealed hardwood, unglazed ceramic, and waxed surfaces. For delicate fabrics, keep the nozzle more than 12.7 mm away. Steam can sanitize fabrics by holding the nozzle less than 12.7 mm for 5 seconds.

How to store the unit after use?

Turn off and unplug. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes. Empty the water tank and open the drain cap to empty the reservoir. Replace the caps. You can shorten the telescopic pole and fold the hanger. Loosely coil the cord and store in a cool, dry place.

What is the heating time?

After plugging in and turning on, the unit starts producing steam in about 45 seconds. A slight gurgling may occur at first, then disappears.

How to attach the telescopic pole?

Locate the connector on part 4 of the pole. Align the grooves of the pole with the guide edges in the pole base, insert, then screw the connector clockwise. Attach the pole head to part 1 by aligning the edges and pressing firmly. Adjust the height by opening the extension locks.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water during every use of your Deluxe Fabric Steamer.

If distilled or de-mineralized water is unavailable, regular tap water may be used. However, the resulting mineral build-up may limit the effectiveness and reduce the overall life of your Deluxe Fabric Steamer. To prevent this, it is recommended to de-mineralize the boiler after 30-40 uses using Steamfast Lemon Acid.

Steamfast Lemon Acid (A292-008R-) is available for purchase on www.steamfast.com. You may also contact Consumer Service directly at [e-mail] or 1-800-711-6617.
