Filling with water

• Your garment steamer has been designed to operate using untreated tap water. If your water is very hard (check with your local water authority) it is possible to mix tap water with store-bought distilled or demineralised water in the following proportions:
  -50% untreated tap water,
  -50% distilled or demineralised water.

Important: Heat concentrates the elements contained in water during evaporation. The types of water listed below may contain organic waste, mineral or chemical elements that can cause spitting, brown staining, or premature wear of the appliance: water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries, air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. Also use distilled or demineralised water only as advised above.

- Fill with maximum 1 litre of water, taking care that the water does not spill over - fig.3.

Use

Never overfill your steamer. Never fill it with hot water.

- Plug in your garment steamer. Place your garment steamer on the floor with the steam vents pointing away from the door. Ensure the floor that you put the base on is a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

• Keep the steam head on the door hook while heating up - fig.4.
• Press on the On / Off switch, the power indicator light will illuminate when the garment steamer is turned on - fig.5.
• Wait for the steam to come out. This will take approximately 2.5 minutes.
• Put garment onto the door hook*.
• Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start steaming by lightly touching the material with the steaming head and moving it in vertical motions - fig.6. Begin at the top of the garment and move in an downward direction.

Tips: Check the fabric's label for recommendations. Test fabric for color fastness on an inconspicuous part of the garment (inner seam). Do not allow the steam head to touch materials made from silk or velvet.

Some garments can be steamed better from the underside. If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose out frequently to remove any build up of condensation. If hose becomes clogged, it will make a gurgling noise. Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming. Exercise caution at all times.

- Steam garments holding the hose in an upright position. This allows any condensation to flow back into the steamer.

Warning: Never steam clothes while they are being worn. The hose and steam head will become hot during use. This is normal. Use caution and avoid prolonged contact with garments being steamed, especially any delicate fabrics.

Place the base of your garment steamer on the floor. Ensure the floor is a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Never carry or lift this product over floor height while in use.

- During operation, the steamer hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal result of condensation. If it begins to gurgle, extend hose up and out to allow any excess moisture back into the base.

Do not allow steamer to run dry.

Accessories (depending on model)

Before using any of the accessories on upholstery or garments, be sure to consult the manufacturer regarding their recommendations. We also recommend testing on an inconspicuous area.

Reminder: When using accessories steam only in an up and down vertical motion. Never use the steam head in a horizontal position and never steam with the steamhead upside down.

Upholstery brush\*

The upholstery brush is used to aid steam penetration into difficult, heavy fabrics, for faster results.

Be sure unit is unplugged and completely cool before attaching accessories.

• Attach the upholstery brush to the steam head by lining up the bottom of the brush with the bottom of the steam head. Gently push the top of the brush into place on the steam head until it clicks into place - fig.7.
• Gently brush the area to be steamed with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• Remove the upholstery brush once the unit is unplugged and completely cool. Remove it by pressing on the tab on top of brush while pulling it forward.

Fabric brush\*

The fabric brush opens the weave of the fabrics for better steam penetration.

Be sure unit is unplugged and completely cool before attaching accessories.

• Attach the fabric brush to the steam head by lining up the bottom of the brush with the bottom of the steam head. Gently push the top of the brush into place on the steam head until it clicks into place.
• Gently brush the area to be steamed with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• Remove the fabric brush once unit is unplugged and completely cool. Remove it by pressing on the release tab on top of brush while pulling it forward.

Crease attachment\*

The crease attachment allows you to make trouser creases easily and remove stubborn creases.

Be sure unit is unplugged and completely cool before attaching accessories.

• Fasten the crease attachment to the steam head by inserting it into the slide under the steam brush - fig.8.
  • Gently push into place.

• Push on the handle to open out the crease attachment - fig.9.
  * depending on model

• Put your fabric in the space between the crease attachment and the steam brush - fig.10.

• Release the handle.
• Move the crease attachment in a downwards motion starting from the top - fig.11.
• Once unit is unplugged and completely cool, remove the crease attachment by sliding it out of the steam brush.

Lint pad\*

The lint pad removes hair, lint and animal fur for a professional finish.

The lint pad is a separate accessory and cannot be attached to the steam head. You can use the lint pad independently from the steamer.

• To use the lint pad, slowly brush the clothing with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• The pad can be cleaned by brushing it in the opposite direction. We recommend cleaning the pad onto an old cloth that can be discarded.

After use

Warning: Never touch the steam head until it cools completely.

- After using the steamer, switch the power off (power indicator light will go out) and unplug the appliance.

Be careful, hot water may remain in the steam hose. Always remove the steam hose before emptying your appliance.

• Remove the steam hose - fig.1.
  • Empty the water container - fig.12.
• Wrap the hose around the steamer and insert the steam head on its housing - fig.13 and 14.
• Wind the power cord on its storage place under the appliance - fig.2.

Empty all water from the unit before storing it.

For cord winding or transport, never turn your appliance upside down.

- You can carry your steamer by its handle - fig.15.

Cleaning

Clean the main unit using a damp cloth. To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled occasionally. The descaling intervals will depend on the water quality and the frequency of use.

The unit should be descaled at least once a year or every 100 hours of use.

For descaling proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the unit and fill it with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.
2. Let the appliance run for 3 minutes and do not steam any clothing with this mixture.

3. Switch the appliance off. Unplug it and allow to cool down for at least 30 minutes.

4. Pour the mixture over the sink. Rinse the appliance with fresh water.

If after descaling you believe that there is still a build-up in the appliance, repeat this operation.

Use a new solution of vinegar and water each time you repeat steps 1 and 2.
