Sometimes, scale or calcification can form inside your handheld steamer, and this can cause it to drip some water. In regions with hard water, this can be noticed more often.
To prevent this, please ensure that the water tank is emptied after a steaming session.
Besides this, we recommend that you use a combination of demineralised/distilled water (50%) mixed with tap water (50%).
Note: The following only applies to handheld steamers with a rinsing function:
If your handheld steamer has a rinsing function, running this function will help you remove scale.
We recommend performing the rinsing mode when stains or impurities are produced or when the steam starts to become weaker.
To activate the rinsing mode for scale removal, hold and press the steam setting button and steam trigger simultaneously until two LED lights blink. Steam and hot water will start to be released for one minute. After one minute, the ECO mode blue or white light will blink to indicate that your handheld steamer is back to heating up. You can use your garment steamer again after this.
