IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Indicator light: Once the unit is plugged in, the indicator light flashes while the unit is heating. When the indicator light stops flashing, then unit is ready to use. The steam will not work when the light is flashing.

Steam on/off trigger: Once the indicator light stops flashing, press and button to start steaming. Press again to stop steaming. Handle: Use the handle to control the angle of the steam.

Reservoir Base: When the power is on, and if the unit is placed onto the base (1L Capacity), then the unit will automatically draw water from the base and replenish water into the water tank.

Water tank: Remove the water tank to fill with water (70ml Capacity). The unit can operate independently with this tank, without needing the reservoir base.

Steam nozzle: Steam sprays out of steam nozzle.
Brush: Use the brush to remove any dust or lint on clothes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The garment steamer is provided with a reservoir base which can be used to replenish water in the removable water tank automatically.

1. Open the large water inlet cap of the reservoir base and fill with appropriate amount of cool filtered water and then replace the cap (see Fig. 1).
   

2. Mount the water tank onto the main unit in the direction indicated by the arrow (see Fig. 2)
   Note: Ensure water tank is fastened in place, otherwise it will not be replenished by the reservoir base or supply water to main unit.
   

3. Mount the main unit onto the reservoir base in the direction indicated by the arrow (see Fig. 3).

HINTS & TIPS

• Some articles of clothing are better to be steamed inside out.
• Pants can be steamed holding them by the cuff, however extra care must be taken.
• When steaming, touch material lightly with steam nozzle or brush attachment and move up and down to remove wrinkles. It is important that you make contact with the garment and/or fabric.
• NOTE: The Garment Steamer will not remove stains from garments.
• Never steam clothes while wearing them.
• The Garment Steamer works on a variety of fabrics, including silk, denim, cotton, polyester and wool.
• PLEASE ALWAYS REFER TO LABEL ON ITEM OF CLOTHING TO CHECK IF GARMENT CAN BE STEAMED. IN GENERAL, SOME FABRICS, E.G., LEATHER, SUEDE AND VELVET ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR STEAMING.

TEMPERATURE GUIDE

Max Steaming: 120°C – 165°C

DESCALING

Your Garment Steamer should be periodically descaled as the mineral deposits in tap water may form scale or residue inside of the unit causing it to operate less efficiently. To reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mineral deposits, we recommend the use of distilled water in the unit.

Alternatively, if not using distilled water, please follow the below process monthly, for best results.

1. Ensure the unit is disconnected from the power outlet and completely cooled down.
2. Prepare a mixed solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water. 60ml of this solution is enough.
3. Remove the water tank and slowly pour the mixed solution into it and replace water inlet cover
4. Let sit for 40 minutes.
5. Wipe the external housing using the soft damp cloth.
6. Pour out the vinegar solution, and fill the water tank with clean water and rinse / repeat until the vinegar smell has dissipated. Repeat this step until the vinegar odour disappears.

Other than the above descaling procedure, never use any other additives in the water of this Garment Steamer. Use of distilled or de-mineralized water will reduce the need to clean your Garment Steamer and will prolong its life. However, ordinary tap water may be used as well. Additives such as cleaning agents, detergents, salt, perfumes and dyes should never be added to the water tank. Some of these substances are highly flammable which could result in bodily harm or death and some additives will corrode or clog internal parts. Clean the main unit with a soft damp cloth if necessary. A little bit of neutral detergent can be used for any stubborn marks.

If the unit fails to operate efficiently, is broken or other problems arise, unplug and do not operate. Ask for advice by calling your local after sales service agent or the Customer Care Centre on 1300 556 816 (AU) / 0800 666 2824 (NZ).
