1. An appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance is not a toy and is not to be used by 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. DO NOT OVERFILL, as this may cause hot water to drip.
5. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
6. 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.
7. Do not carry this appliance by the supply cord or use cord as a handle.
8. 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.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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 to install the proper outlet.Do not change the plug in any way.
10. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
11. Do not use outdoors. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
12. We recommend you do not use an extension cord to operate this appliance. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere 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.
13. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or bare skin.
14. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
15. To disconnect, turn all controls to the OFF position, then remove plug from outlet.
16. Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.
17. While emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin, scalp or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, test appliance before each use by holding it away from body.

NOTE : Before using the garment steamer for the first time, it is recommended to operate the steamer for approximately 5 minutes. Turn off and unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Empty container and refill before use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

HOW TO USE

1. Be sure garment steamer is unplugged.
2. While holding main body of steamer, twist steamer head counterclockwise and lift it to remove.
3. For best results, fill reservoir with distilled water to max fill line. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Replace steamer head on steamer body, twisting clockwise into locked position.
5. If steam is spitting or dripping, this indicates that there may be too much water in the unit. For the best performance, we recommend filling the reservoir with less water.
6. Place appliance on a flat surface in an upright position. Plug into electrical outlet. Press ON/OFF button to ON position. The green POWER light will illuminate.
7. In about a minute, the unit will begin to emit a continuous flow of steam from the steam vents. The garment steamer is now ready for use.
8. Hold steamer by its handle when using. Do not grasp body of unit while steaming garments or while unit is hot.
9. Hold fabric taut, and direct the flow of steam toward the garment to remove wrinkles. Do not touch fabric with steam head.
10. Approximate runtime is 5 minutes per fill-up.
11. For best results, maintain an upright position when in use. Recommended steaming time is 5 minutes per use.

DECALCIFICATION
If the appliance begins to produce steam more slowly than usual or stops producing steam and then starts again, you may need to decalcify your steamer. Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the steamer. For best performance of your Conair® Fabric Steamer, decalcify the unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the steamer.

NOTE : To reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mineral buildup, we recommend the use of distilled water in the unit.

To decalcify, use a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water in the water reservoir. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Turn to the ON position and run until half the amount has steamed out. Turn the unit to the OFF position, unplug from electrical outlet, and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Remove excess water from the reservoir by unscrewing the top of the steamer and holding it over the sink, allowing the water to pour from the internal reservoir. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam rate returns, usually 2–3 times. With each repeated cycle, use a fresh solution of vinegar and water. Run one cycle of fresh, cold water through the unit at the completion of decalcification before using the unit again to steam garments.

HOW TO STEAM TO REMOVE WRINKLES
Grasp the garment steamer by the handle with the steam jets facing away from you. Begin at the bottom of the fabric to allow the steam to rise inside and outside, removing wrinkles. Slowly move the nozzle from the bottom to the top of the fabric. Some fabrics are best steamed on the underside of the material. This will allow the fibers of the fabric to relax, eliminating wrinkles. NOTE: Test fabric for color fastness in an inconspicuous spot. Drape linens, towels, handkerchiefs and ties over a rod or place on a towel rack. Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming. Repeat as necessary. With practice, you will gain speed and efficiency. You will soon learn which fabrics require multiple steam applications. Do not directly touch fabric with the steam head.

TO STEAM GARMENTS OR DRAPES

1. Hang up garment/drapery.
2. Gently hold fabric taut with one hand and hold steamer with the other hand. Hold steamer near the garment/drapery so that steam is directed toward it. Use only in vertical position.
3. Slowly run the steam head up and down and side to side. To remove stubborn wrinkles, move the garment steamer very slowly.

TO MAKE CREASES OR PLEATS

1. Hang garment.
2. Fold fabric where crease or pleat is desired. Hold fold in place while applying steam directly to fold.

TO STEAM SHOULDERS AND SLEEVES

1. Hang garment, preferably on a padded hanger.
2. Fill out shoulders or sleeves with folded towel.
3. Apply steam to garment.

CAUTION : If hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.

WARNING: DO NOT OVERFILL!
Add water to, or below, the MAX FILL LINE indicated on the water tank window.
