How To Use
The ‘steam ready’ lights up when the steamer is plugged in and powered on 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
.
Put the glove on the hand you are using to hold a garment. The glove protects your hand against the steam from the steamer head.
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.
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.
