overview
Do not use your bare hand as a supporting surface when you steam. Pull the
sides of the garment to stretch it. Do not place the steamer head on the power
cord after use.
You can de-wrinkle garments more easily if you spread the laundry properly after you have washed it. Hang the garments on hangers to dry them with fewer wrinkles.
When you are steaming, press the steamer hea gainst the garment and pull the sides of the garment with your other hand to stretch it.
For garments with buttons such as shirts, jackets and pants, close the first
button to help straighten the fabric.For shirt pockets, move the steamer head
upwards while pressing against the fabric.To steam sleeves, start from the
shoulder area and move the steamer head downwards. Steam while you pull the
sleeve diagonally down with the other hand.
For garment with collar, move the steamer horizontally along the collar.
Note:
The appliance can be used for creating a natural look and for quick touch-ups.
For garments with tough wrinkles and for a more formal look, it is recommended
to use an iron in addition.
Keep the steamer head a slight distance away from dresses with frills, ruffles, ruching or sequins. Use only the steam to loosen the fabric. You can also steam from the inside.
Garment may be placed on a horizontal surface (e.g. ironing board, sofa,
mattress) to make crisp pleats on sleeves and pants and better remove creases
on difficult areas such as shirt collar or cuffs.

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. However, if you
live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it
is recommended to use distilled or demineralized water (50%
demineralized/distilled water mixed with water could be used as well) to
prolong the lifetime of the appliance.
Warning:
Do not add perfume, water from tumble dryer, vinegar, magnetically treated
water (e.g., Aqua+), starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, chemically
descaled water or other chemicals as they may cause water spitting, brown
staining or damage to your appliance.
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. Warning: Do not use
scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol,
petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
