Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming. Exercise caution at all times. For very delicate fabrics, you can remove the brush. To avoid damage to clothes, keep a distance of 1.5 inches between the steam head and the fabrics. We recommend that before the first use or after the appliance has been stored for some time to test the burst of steam. 1103901137-ultrasteam-m/c - corrigée 05-10-2007 5/10/07 15:56 Page 8Threads, lint and hair can easily be removed with the lint pad by brushing the clothes slowly from left to right.
