Introduction
It highlights the disassembly of the electrical heating components of the steamer. For this guide, you will need a phillips screwdriver, scissors, and a ratchet with a 7mm socket. We recommend using the iFixit screwdriver with the J1 tip.
This guide is not difficult and can be accomplished by all experience levels. Make sure the device is unplugged from the wall and has not been in use for several hours before disassembling - this will ensure there are no hazards to your body and face.
