EN Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. In case you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use water without minerals such as distilled or purified water to prolong the lifetime of your appliance.

Note: Do not add perfume, vinegar, mineral water, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals into the water tank as they may cause water spitting, brown staining, or damage to your appliance.

EN Multi steam settings are provided to save water and energy. You can increase the steam setting for more steam power at any point of time. This appliance is safe to use on all fabrics at any setting.

Note: The steam supply hose becomes warm during steaming. This is normal.

EN AirStretch Technology uses air suction created in the steamer head to pull the garment closer to the steamer head, and stretches it for better steam penetration and easier wrinkle removal.

Tip:

For optimal results on thin fabrics and summer clothes (eg. dresses, pleated skirts and T-shirts), use Airstretch Technology without board.

When you are steaming with AirStretch Technology, press the steamer head against the garment. Make slow downward strokes.

Fast strokes will diminish the suction power. For dresses with frills, ruffles, ruching or sequins, you can also steam from the inside.

For thicker fabrics like trousers and men's shirts, use the board without AirStretch Technology to achieve optimal results.

Note:

Always switch off AirStretch Technology when using board. The appliance produces some motor sound and air comes out of the sides of the steamer head. Moisture may also appear on the sides of the steamer head. This is normal.
