FILLING WITH WATER

To add water, pull the handle on the water tank up to remove. On the bottom, screw the cap counterclockwise to remove. Fill with water and screw the cap back on and firmly place the water tank back on the base.

HOW TO OPERATE

Place steamer on a flat, level surface. Do not block vents on bottom of unit.
Plug in cord and select between the four steam settings. Wait for the steam to come out to start using – it will take approximately 45 seconds. NOTE: Steamer will run for 70 minutes.
Put garment onto the hanger head. Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you. Start steaming by touching material lightly with steaming head and moving in an up/down vertical motion. Begin at the bottom of the garment and move in an upward direction. Steam with hose in an upright position. If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose up and out frequently to keep clear of condensation.

NOTE: During operation, the steamer hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal result of condensation. If it begins to gurgle, extend hose up and out to move excess moisture back into the base.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

HELPFUL TIPS

Check the fabrics label for recommendations on care. Test fabric for color fastness on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam) before steaming.
Do not touch silk or velvet with steam head. Some articles can be steamed better from the underside.
If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose up an out frequently to keep clear condensation. If hose becomes clogged, it will make a gurgling noise.
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming.
The steamer can be used with regular tap water (up to 12 grains of hardness). If your water is harder than this, we recommend mixing half tap water with half distilled water which reduces the hardness; or just use inexpensive bottled spring water; or 100% distilled water.
To better maintain the machine, clean the water tank once a month.
