Warning : Never steam

a garment while it is being worn. The hose and steam head may become hot during use. This is perfectly normal. Be careful and avoid any prolonged contact. 1800121329 IS5200 T-FAL_105x148,5 25/10/10 08:45 Page2223

• The steamer produces steam in 60 seconds, when in max position of variable steam.

• Put the garment directly on the rotating hanger or on another hanger that you can hang up to the hook. To steam pants, we advise you to use the two hangers as described in the picture - fig.19.

• Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start steaming by brushing material lightly with the grain of the fabric in an up/down vertical motion. The fabric brush opens the weave of the fabrics for better steam penetration.

• Start at the top the garment and gradually move downward. Always steam in a vertical position - fig.18.

• For more ease, we recommend to pull the garment downward with your free hand while steaming. Be careful not to touch the hot steam.

• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to condensation. If you hear the gurgling noise, hold the hose up to direct the condensation back into the appliance.
