Cuation
- Do not use your bare hand as a supporting surface when you steam.
- Pull the sides of the garment to stretch it.
- Do not place the steamer head on the power cord after use.
Dry Cleaner
- You can dewrinkle garments more easily if you spread the laundry properly after you have washed it. Hang the garments on hangers to dry them with fewer wrinkles.
- When you are steaming, press the steamer head against the garment and pull the sides of the garment with your other hand to stretch it.
- For garments with buttons such as shirts, jackets and pants, close the first button to help straighten the fabric.
- For shirt pockets, move the steamer head upwards while pressing against the fabric.
- To steam sleeves, start from the shoulder area and move the steamer head downwards. Steam while you pull the sleeve diagonally down with the other hand.
- For garment with collar, move the steamer horizontally along the collar.
- Note : The appliance can be used for creating a natural look and for quick touch-ups. For garments with tough wrinkles and for a more formal look, it is recommended to use an iron in addition.
- Keep the steamer head a slight distance away from dresses with frills, ruffles, ruching or sequins. Use only the steam to loosen the fabric. You can also steam from the inside.
Water Filling
Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water.
Warning : Do not add perfume, water from tumble dryer, vinegar,
magnetically treated water (e.g., Aqua+), starch, descaling agents, ironing
aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals as they may cause water
spitting, brown staining or damage to your appliance.
Note: Filling cup is applicable to GC300 only.
Streaming
The ‘steam ready’ lights up when the steamer is plugged in to indicate that
the steamer is heating up. The steamer is ready to be used approximately after
45 seconds when the light goes off. When steam is ready, direct the steam away
for a few seconds before you begin your session, as the initial steam may
contain water droplets. Always keep the steam trigger pressed during steaming.
The steaming process can create small wet spots in the garment. The garment
may also be slightly damp due to the steam. After your session, leave your
garment out to dry before you keep or wear it.
Brushing Attachment
The brush attachment improves steam penetration to achieve faster and better
steaming result on thick and heavy garment such as coat and jacket. Brush is
to be used together with steam by pressing the steam trigger and slowly moving
the bristles along the garment.
Note: Always unplug the steamer before you attach or detach the brush
attachment. Be careful, the steamer head may still be hot
Removing
Always empty the water tank after use, to prevent scale build-up. Rinse the
water tank to remove any deposits. Wipe any deposits off the steamer head with
a damp cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaning agent.
