BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Remove labels, stickers and packaging from the appliance.

• Note: Any water droplets or condensation inside the water tank are a result of quality testing prior to shipping. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• For best performance, we recommend using distilled, purified or filtered water in your steamer. Tap water contains minerals that can build up inside your steamer over time and reduce its efficiency or even cause damage.

• Never use perfumes, oils or other additives.

• Always check the garment’s care label before steaming, and always test fabrics for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area. Steamers are not recommended for use on leather, suede, vinyl, plastic, or other materials that are sensitive to steam.

• During use the steamer and accessories will become HOT. Never try to fit or remove attachments while still hot.

• After preheating, prime the water pump by holding the steam trigger until steam forms.

• It is normal to feel or hear the water pump inside the device. It may become louder when the water level in the tank is low. Check and refill the tank when required.

• Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, your steamer needs time to get back up to full temperature. Just allow the steamer a minute to reheat.

• Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or steaming can actually create wrinkles. Always allow the clothing to cool for about 5 minutes before wearing. ATTACHMENTS Your steamer has two attachments. Delicate fabric attachment Reduces the possibility of damage to fabrics such as silk and lace. Tip: For items with printing/embellishment, turn the garment inside out to avoid damage to sensitive areas. Upholstery attachment Deodorise, refresh and clean larger materials such as bedding, mattresses, curtains, soft toys, sofas and much more. Always test for colourfastness and heat sensitivity on an inconspicuous area. Fitting/Removing (Fig. D)

2. Hook the top of the attachment over the top edge of the steamer.

• If the label says “do not steam” or shows this icon m, do not steam the garment.

1. Hang the garment in an area that will not be affected or damaged by the heat and steam, such as on

a shower curtain rail, or in an open doorway. Alternatively, place the garment on a bed or towel. You can use the heat resistant bag between the bed/towel and garment if required.

Ceramic heated plate Your steamer features a ceramic heated plate that helps smooth out wrinkles and creases on the areas of garments that are more difficult to reach with steam alone. The temperature of the plate is safe for all ironable fabrics. To use, hold the plate of the steamer directly against the fabric. Don’t fit any of the attachments. Steam the garment with slow, downward strokes, keeping the head of the steamer in contact with the fabric. Important: Always make sure that the surface you use to iron on will not be affected or damaged by heat or steam!7 Auto shut off If you haven’t used the steam trigger for approximately 8 minutes, your steamer will enter auto shut off mode.

To restart your steamer, press and hold the steam trigger for a few seconds until your steamer begins to steam again and the blue light stops flashing. Depending on how long your steamer has been in auto shut off mode, it may take up to 45 seconds to re-heat before steam will be generated.
