CONAIR GS39 Handheld Fabric Steamer Instructions

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

A resin filter inside the water reservoir softens the water scale and prevents scale buildup. The filter is permanent and does not need replacing.

USING ATTACHMENTS

With the garment steamer off and cool, insert the tab on the creaser attachment
into the underside of the garment steamer head. The silicone band and steam bonnet attachments snap into the top portion of the creaser attachment. To apply one of these attachments, simply line up the pins with the holes on the creaser attachment and push in until you hear a snap.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing the attachments after the unit has been in use, as the steam head will continue to be hot.

STEAMING T

IPS FOR DE-WRINKLING

1. To prepare your fabric for steaming, hang your garment or fabric. NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
2. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
3. After use, unplug steamer and empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
4. CAUTION: When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
5. First test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed using the LOW setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
6. When steaming, always keep the unit in motion and about one inch from the surface of the item being steamed to avoid potential damage. Do not continuously hold steamer over an area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift to certain types of material.
7. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics, such as wool coats or bedding, slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed using the LOW setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.

TO KILL BEDBUGS OR DUST MITES

Steam is a contact killer that can kill dust mites, bedbugs and eggs. It must hit bugs directly. When steaming to kill bedbugs, areas to concentrate on are seams, edges, and folds in the fabric. Direct the steamer nozzle about half of an inch from the fabric to be steamed.
Hold the steamer head at a minor angle up off of the surface. Do not hold flush against the surface. Move at about an inch per second and steam the entire area that is infested.
Check the surface behind the steamed section after steaming. The surface should be warm to the touch. If it’s cool, you’re moving too fast. Move the steamer head from top to bottom of the object you’re steaming. (Steam rises!) Be cautious of surfaces that you can’t steam, such as finishes on furniture, leather,certain paints.Test on an inconspicuous area before steaming the entire object.
NOTE: You may have to repeat the process for best results.

1. This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.

2. This appliance is not a toy! Keep away from children.

3. Close supervision is necessary when this
   appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.

4. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.

6. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
   Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.
   Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the  proper outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

8. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

9. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being  used or where oxygen is being administered.

10. Do not handle plug with wet hands.

11. 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.

12. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.

13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.

14. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.

15. Do not operate steamer without properly filling the water container with tap water.

16. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to

18. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload,
    do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.

19. Use caution when installing or removing an attachment as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.

20. Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.

21. Do not hold hand in front of steam.

22. When emitting steam, appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test appliance before use by holding it away from the body.
