How to steam your garment

The garment steamer is easy to use and is perfect for removing wrinkles/creases from garments and curtains as well as refreshing furnishing fab-rics. It can be used on most fabrics as long as the fabric is hanging or where the garment steamer can be easily used in an upright position moving over the fabric in an up and down motion.

• The garment steamer is designed to be used in an upright position on hanging garments. refrain from using the steamer in or on garments in a horizontal position.
• Check that the back of the fabric is breathable so that steam doesn’t build up on the fabric and make it wet.
• Check your pockets to make sure there are no items in them.
• Check the back of the garment for objects that are susceptible to steam damage.
• It is recommended not to use hanging ironing machine around the metal parts of the clothing, because high temperature steam will cause the metal parts to fade.
• When you turn the gear switch, you will feel the vibration and hear a subtle buzzing sound which is normal.
• Iron out creases by gently moving fabric creases up and down with a fabric brush.
• If a fabric brush is not used on the machine, keep the steam head at least 5 cm away from the cloth.
• If the droning sound becomes louder and there is no steam spewing out, it means there is no water in the water tank. Please check the water level of the water tank and add water to the water tank.

WARNINGS:

• The garment steamer generates high temperatures of steam. Do not touch the steam head, make sure the steamer is facing away from you in an upright position.
