ASSEMBLY

Install the Telescopic pole

1. To insert the Telescopic poles into the main body, first loosen the clips on the poles by swinging their hinges outward. Align the slots from inside of the pole openings on the main body with the slots on the Telescopic poles and push the Telescopic poles down into place.

2. Extend the Telescopic poles by fully extending each section of the pole. To lock, close/tighten the clips. Perform this step with all clips to extend the pole fully. Make sure the pole is securely locked in place.

To remove Telescopic poles from the main body, release the clips on both poles and take the poles out.

Attach the Steam Hose

Install the Hose onto the hose connector by turning the fitting at the end of the hose clockwise to tighten in place.

Attach the Multifunctional Hanger

1. Install the Multifunctional Hanger on top of the Telescopic poles.
2. Insert the Collar Hanger on top of the Multifunctional Hanger.
3. Hang the steam nozzle on the Collar Hanger.

The Multifunctional Hanger provides many ways to hang your fabrics for steaming.

You can place your jackets and shirts on top of the Multifunctional hanger (Figure 1), or you can hang them on your own hanger and place the hanger on the drop-down bar for steaming (Figure 2).

You can also fold down the drop-down bar and use it with the provided clips to hang and steam the garments (Figure 3).

Attaching the Fabric Brush

The Fabric Brush is designed to brush away particles such as lint, hairs, and loose threads.

1. Make sure the unit is OFF and not emitting any steam before attaching the Fabric Brush.
   ! CAUTION: Do not try to connect Fabric Brush while the unit is emitting steam, as this can cause burns and injury.

2. Press the Fabric Brush firmly onto Steam Nozzle. The two pegs will fit into the two larger holes on the face of the nozzle, while the latch fits over the top of the nozzle.

Remove the Fabric Brush once the unit is unplugged and completely cool by first releasing the latch from the top of the nozzle and then pulling off the rest of the brush.

Using the Mini Ironing Board

The “Y” shaped part is designed to help you steam pockets, sleeves, collars, or generally any corner of your garment.

Attaching the Pants Press

Pants Press attachment is designed to provide a more finished look, giving structure and creases to you dress shirts, collars, sleeves, plackets, hems, and pants.

1. Make sure the unit is OFF and not emitting any steam before attaching the Pants Press.

! CAUTION: Do not try to connect the Pants Press while the unit is emitting steam, as this can cause burns and injury.

2. Connect the flute of the Pants Press to the pegs at the bottom of the Steam Nozzle. Push the Pants Press until it locks in place.

3. Push on the handle of the Pants Press to open it. Place the garment between the open Pants Press and the Steam Nozzle and then release the Pants Press handle. Move the Steam Nozzle in a downwards motion starting from the top to make pant creases easily or to remove stubborn wrinkles.

Remove the Pants Press by pressing the unlock buttons on each side and pulling the attachment off the Steam Nozzle.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. Unplug the Power Cord and turn the Power Switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the Water Tank, turn it upside down, and unscrew the Valve Cap. Fill the Water Tank with cold water, and put back in place the Valve Cap. Do not use hot water.

! Note: To prolong the lifetime of your steamer, we recommend using distilled or demineralized water.

3. Place the water tank back into the unit and make sure it is sitting correctly and securely in the Cavity / water reservoir.

! IMPORTANT: Do not let the steamer operate with an empty water tank or damage to the unit may occur.

Never use water that contains additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc. in the steamer. Additives such as these can affect the properties of the steam and lead to the formation of deposits.

USING YOUR STEAMER

Only operate the steamer on the floor, clear of any materials which may obstruct the base of the steamer (flat and horizontal surface).

! IMPORTANT: Do not operate the unit with an empty Water Tank.

1. Plug in the power cord and turn on the power by choosing the desired steam power using the Steam Setting button. Steam should start flowing from the Steam Nozzle in approximately 45 seconds.

**! _Note: Expect gurgling sounds and possible water droplets with steam during the first minutes as the Hose heats up.

_**

2. To steam a garment, place it on a clean, rust-free clothes hanger, place the hanger on the drop-down bar, or use the Multifunctional Hanger to hang your clothes.

3. Grasp the Handle, and place the Steam Nozzle at the bottom of the garment. Steam will rise along the inside and outside of the fabric, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide the nozzle vertically, from the bottom to the top of the garment. Repeat this step until the fabric is wrinkle-free.

4. When you have finished with your steaming session, place the Steam Settings button to the “OFF” position, and remove the plug from the outlet. Refer to the Cleaning and Storage section for proper cleaning and storage procedures.

! NOTE

• Do not allow kinks to form in the hose at any time as it will cause irregular steam flow, condensation and water droplets in the steam.

! CAUTION

• Always hang the Steam Nozzle on the Collar hanger when not in use to prevent steam from causing bodily injury or damage to surfaces.
• The telescopic pole must be fully extended during steam operation to ensure the smooth lining of the hose and to provide a free flow of steam.
• Do not pull the hose with excessive force or damage will occur, causing steam leakage.
• Do not move the appliance by grasping the hose.

WARNING: Never steam a garment while it is being worn. The Hose and Steam Nozzle may become hot during use. This is perfectly normal. Be careful and avoid any prolonged contact.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL STEAMING

Test the garment on an unobtrusive area, such as an inner seam. We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recommendations.

• For most effective results, hold the Steam Nozzle within 1/2 inches of fabrics, or press it directly against surfaces.
• Avoid contact between the Steam Nozzle and silk or velvet. Synthetic materials (such as 100% nylon or 100% polyester) are sensitive to heat and may be damaged by exposure to hot steam. Steam is recommended for use only on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or wool, as well as nylon or polyester blends.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer. To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of the garment.
• Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
• To sanitize fabrics, keep the Steam Nozzle in one place 1/2 inches from fabric for 5 seconds. Be careful not to get burnt from the hot steam.
• Certain clothes are smoothed more easily on the reverse side. If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise the hose frequently to avoid the formation of condensation. You may hear a gurgling noise if the Hose is obstructed in any way.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

We recommend you follow this procedure after each use, but at least once per week:

1. Turn OFF the unit and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool (30 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove the Water Tank from the unit. Unscrew the Valve Cap and drain all remaining water from Water Tank.
4. Open the Drain Plug and drain all remaining water from the Water Reservoir to prevent overfilling during your next use. Securely replace Drain Plug and place the empty Water Tank back onto the Base.
5. For storage convenience, you may wish to collapse the Telescopic Poles to the most compact height.
6. Hang the Steam Nozzle in an upright position on the Steam Nozzle Holder when not in use.
7. Loosely bundle the power cord and store the unit in a cool, dry location.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP

To maintain maximum performance, you must descale your steamer occasionally. This is a standard maintenance needed for steam appliances to remove build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of the internal pipes and heater can cause intermittent steaming or, in some cases, no steaming at all. Depending on the water quality in different regions, we advise you to remove the mineral build-up after 7-15 days of use. The procedure below can be used to reduce mineral buildup. If you are able to use demineralized or distilled water, we recommend you follow this procedure once a month.

1. Turn OFF the unit and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool (30 minutes for complete cooling).
3. Remove the Water Tank from the unit. Unscrew the Valve Cap and drain all remaining water from Water Tank.
4. Open the Drain Plug and drain all remaining water from the Water Reservoir. Securely replace the Drain Plug.
5. Mix a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water. In most cases, 2 cups of this solution will be sufficient.
6. Slowly pour the water-vinegar solution into the Hose Base.
7. Allow the solution to sit for 40 minutes.
8. Drain the solution out of the Water Reservoir by removing the Drain plug and allowing the liquid to drain into a sink or a tub.
9. Drain the remaining solution out of the Hose Connector by tilting the unit over a sink or a tub allowing the liquid to drain out.
10. Pour clean water in the Hose Connector and drain. Repeat this step until the vinegar odor dissipates.
11. Reassemble the unit and operate normally.
