READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
3. Always turn the appliance to “Off” before plugging or unplugging the appliance from the electrical outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
5. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service center for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.
8. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
9. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam button.
10. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
11. Never steam clothes while someone is wearing.
12. 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. When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and cause you to slip and fall.
14. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over. Always make sure you can move freely without getting tangled with the cord.
15. Appliance may cause personal injury or be damaged if dropped.
16. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries or void your warranty.
17. To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to the water tank. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
18. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING WATER TANK
Warning: To avoid personal injury and damage to the unit, only add water to the water tank. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other chemical additives.
Note: Your Steamer is designed to be used with tap water. However, if you have hard water, we recommend using distilled water for better results.

1. Place Steamer on a flat surface.

2. Press the water reservoir release button and slide out the water reservoir from the stand (Figure 1).

3. Take the water tank to a sink. Pull the rubberized water-fill cover to open and pour tap water from the faucet into the water-fill opening until it reaches the Max water level in water tank (Figure 2). If water spills outside of the tank, or within the center water tank cavity, wipe it dry with a paper towel or cloth. Warning: When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and cause you to slip and fall.
   Tip: It is not necessary to have a full tank of water for the Steamer to generate steam. For best results, just make sure the water tank is at least half full.

4. Close the water-fill cover and refit the water tank into the stand. Pull on the reservoir to ensure it is fully locked in position.
   Note: If you need to add water while steaming, unplug the steamer, wait until it cools and follow the above steps. If a cloud vibrating noise is heard, then the water level is low and needs to be refilled.

   Caution: Burns could occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

• Do not operate the Steamer with an empty water tank. To add water during operation, turn steamer off, wait for it to cool down then remove water tank and refill.

• For more difficult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of the fabric.
• When steaming, touching fabric lightly with the steam nozzle can help in wrinkle removal. It is important to make contact with the garment and/or fabric.
• Heavier fabrics require more steam.
• Only use water in the unit. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water that can cause damage to the appliance.
• Do not use steam directly against wall or doors.
• When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
• After use, empty water tank by turning it upside down to ensure all water empties out and avoid leaks.
• When steaming, move the steamer continuously over the item being pressed. Do not keep steamer over an area for any period of time to avoid damage to the fabric.
