IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

DANGER – Any appliance is electrically live even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

1. Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
2. Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
3. Do not place in, or drop into water or other liquids.
4. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it immediately. Do not reach into the water.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:

1. This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance is not a toy! Keep away from children.
3. Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
8. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
9. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
10. Do not handle plug with wet hands.
11. Do not use an extension cord to operate appliance.
12. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly filling the water container with distilled water.
16. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when removing water reservoir or when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer with head away from you and any other person when turning on.
18. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
19. When installing or removing attachments, to avoid contact with hot water, please be sure the unit is off, has cooled, and no steam is being released.
20. Use caution when installing or removing an attachment, as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
21. Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.
22. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
23. When emitting steam, appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test appliance before use by holding it away from the body.
24. We recommend you do not use an extension cord to operate this appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15-amp-rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAMER

IMPORTANT
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure unit is unplugged.
2. Place the unit on its back on a flat and stable surface.
3. While holding the water reservoir with one hand, move the release switch up toward the steam head nozzle.
4. Pull the reservoir out, away from the steamer body.
5. Turn the reservoir over, revealing the rubber inlet cover.
6. Open the inlet cover and fill the reservoir with distilled water (which can be found in grocery stores). We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system.
7. Close the inlet cover and return the reservoir to its place, making sure that it is secure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill water reservoir with distilled water. We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system.
2. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
3. The POWER light will light up (red). Allow approximately 40 seconds for the unit to warm up. The appliance is ready to use when the READY light goes on (green).
4. Pointing the steam jets away from you, and anyone else in the room, engage the trigger. Steam should now be released from the steam jets. To have continuous steam, move switch down so you will have continuous steam without having to hold the trigger. Always have steam facing away from you or anyone in the room.
5. When first using the device, test on an old cloth, as there may be sediment left from the manufacturing process or transportation.
6. On the back of the steamer there is a sliding switch for HIGH and LOW settings. HIGH is for heavier and badly wrinkled fabric and provides faster, hotter, less visible steam. LOW setting should be used for delicate fabrics, in combination with the soft cushion brush attachment.
7. To stop the flow of steam, release the trigger or raise the switch.
8. Unplug the device when it is not in use.

STEAMING TIPS

1. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it with the soft cushion brush attachment. This will loosen the fibers and allow better steam penetration.
2. Hang your garment or fabric. NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
3. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
4. After use, unplug steamer and empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
5. CAUTION: When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
6. First test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the HIGH setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
7. When steaming, always keep the unit in motion and about one inch from the surface of the item being steamed to avoid potential damage. Do not continuously hold steamer over an area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift on certain types of material.
8. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics such as wool coats or bedding, slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the HIGH setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.
