If your Steam Mop begins to produce less steam than usual or stops producing steam, you
may need to remove limescale. Limescale can develop over time on the metal parts and
greatly affect your POWER STEAM’s performance.
It is necessary to remove limescale on a regular basis; every 25-30 times you use a full tank
of water or at least once a month, especially in areas with hard water.
The frequency of limescale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how
often you use the POWER STEAM.
This product contains no serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself.
Any servicing that requires disassembly other than cleaning must be performed
by a qualified TEVO repair technician.
ALL servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white
vinegar and 2/3 tap water and
add to the Water Tank
2. Secure and position the unit to ensure
steam is aimed away from the floor
or surrounding objects and surfaces
3. Plug the unit in and turn ON by
pressing the power button and allow
the unit to produce steam until the
vinegar/water solution in used up
4. Repeat the above procedure as many
times as necessary until a normal
steam flow rate is achieved
5. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water
and rinse out
6. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water,
attach to the unit and release steam
through the system until the water
tank is empty
Follow this procedure to remove limescale:
