Why is no steam coming out?

Check that the water tank is not empty and the inlet cover is closed properly. Press the steam button firmly. Ensure the steamer is in an upright position. If it makes a loud humming sound, it may be out of water; refill.

Can I use the steamer on delicate fabrics like silk?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the fabric brush and clean with a damp cloth. Wipe the outer surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water. Empty and rinse the water tank after each use.

Can I use the steamer while wearing the garment?

No, never use the steamer on clothes while they are on your body or direct steam towards people or animals. Always steam hanging garments.

Hold the steamer upright and attach the brush to the steam head until it clicks. To remove, unplug the steamer and let it cool, then pull off the brush.

What should I do if the steamer stops working?
