- Turn off the steamer and discard the solution.
- Allow the steamer to sit for about 10 hours.

- Boil the clean water in the steamer.
Storage:
- After allowing the steamer to cool down and disconnecting it from the power outlet, empty any remaining water from the tank.
- Clean the steamer as instructed above.
- Wrap the power cord securely around the steamer.
- Store the steamer upright on a flat surface, such as in a cupboard, until you're ready to use it again.
By following these cleaning and maintenance steps, you'll ensure that your CHAMPION CHHS510 Portable Pro Garment Steamer continues to deliver excellent steaming performance for a long time.
