BEFORE FIRST USE & ASSEMBLY

1. Ensure that you have the following:

4 long screws
2 short screws
6 washers
1 Allen wrench

1. To assemble the unit, lay the unit on its side or flat on top of a table.
2. Attach the Base to the bottom of the unit (Ill. 1).

Ensure that the longer side of the Base faces the front (see sticker on Base). Line up the four holes in the Base with the four holes on the bottom of the unit. Insert 1 long screw and 1 washer into each hole in the Base. Tighten using the Allen Wrench.

III. 1

1. Stand the unit on the floor.
2. Attach the Clothes Hanger to the top of the Garment Press. To do this, align the two holes on the end of the Tie/Belt Hanger with the holes on the top/back of the Garment Press. Slide a washer onto each of the short

screws and insert a short screw (with washer) into the front side of each hole in the Garment Press. Using an Allen Wrench, securely fasten the Tie/Belt Hanger to the Garment Press. (Ill. 2)

III. 2

1. Your Garment Press is now ready to use.

HOW TO USE

1. Slowly pull the Pressing Bar up and open the Front Pressing Plate. The Pressing Bar will hold the Front Pressing Plate in the open position. (Ill. 3)

III. 4

1. Place pants/skirt on the Front Pressing Plate, with cuffs or bottom of legs as far down as possible between the Front Pressing Plate and the Heating Plate. The waistline of pants/skirt should hang over the top edge of the Front Pressing Plate. (Ill. 4)

1. Close the Front Pressing Plate and carefully pull the Pressing Bar back down far enough so that it holds the Front Pressing Plate closed. Do not pull the Pressing Bar all of the way down. Do not lock it into place yet.

2. While the Front Pressing Plate is in this position, hold the waistline of the pants/skirt and gently pull upwards. This will smooth out any wrinkles and ensure that the pants/skirt are lying flat between the Front Pressing Plate and the Heating Plate.

3. Pull the Pressing Bar the rest of the way down, locking the Front Pressing Plate into the closed position. (III. 5)

III. 5

1. Ensure that the Timer Dial is in the '0' position then plug the Power Cord into a convenient electrical wall outlet. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate.

CAUTION: Do not use an extension cord.

1. To use the Timer Dial, turn clockwise to desired pressing time, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. The Garment Press will turn off automatically once the time has expired. Alternatively, you can use the continuous 'On' position by turning the Timer Dial counterclockwise to the 'On' position. When using continuous 'On' you must manually turn the Garment Press off by turning the Timer Dial clockwise to the '0' position. Use caution to avoid over-pressing and damaging garments.

NOTE: A 45 minute pressing usually provides excellent results. However, heavier materials or exceptionally stubborn wrinkles may require additional time.

1. Once pressing is complete, immediately unplug the Power Cord.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. In order to protect your clothes, the Garment Press is designed to have a slow, low temperature heat-up for pants/skirts. It takes approximately 20 minutes to reach 122^ F ( 50^ C) and 60 minutes to reach the highest temperature of 140 - 158^ F (60 - 70^ C)
2. The Garment Press is not designed as an iron press with high temperatures as would be used on a freshly cleaned pair of pants/skirt to crease and press. The Garment Press is designed for maintenance of your clothes after a day's wear and will eliminate baggy knees, wrinkles and put the crease back in pants.
3. Your Garment Press is safe to use on any material that you would normally iron. However, you should check for any special instructions before pressing.

4. The Garment Press is equipped with a built-in thermostat that will automatically deactivate the heater to prevent overheating.

5. DO NOT dampen clothing before pressing.

6. Press one pair of pants/skirt at a time and ensure that all pockets are empty.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Set the Timer Dial to the '0' position and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3. The inside of the Front Pressing Plate may be wiped with a dry cloth. DO NOT use polish or cleaner on the inner Front Pressing Plate or Heating Plate surface.
4. Ensure that the Pressing Plate is in the closed position and that the Pressing Bar is securely locked in place.
5. Loop power cord loosely around the unit.
6. Store in a cool, dry location.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
