NOTE: the clothes steamer is designed to be used in an upright position on hanging garments. For occasional touch ups the steamer can be used in a horizontal position.

• Check that there is ventilation behind the fabric otherwise moisture may build up causing mildew.

• Check that garment pockets are empty and turn-ups such as cuffs and hems are down.

• Hang the garment from a hanger and stretch the fabric slightly with one hand checking that there is nothing behind the fabric that can be damaged by the steam.
  NOTE: We recommend you do not steam over metal accessories. Use caution and steam around the metal accessories.

• Press and hold down the steam button. You will feel vibrations and hear a subtle humming sound while steaming; this is normal. Steam facing away from you and in an upright position.

• Gently press the stainless steel soleplate with or without the brush/soft cu attachment against the garment, moving your arm in an up and down motion targeting creases in the fabric.

• Release the steam button to stop the steam.
  NOTE: Ensure that the fabric to be steamed is being stretched whilst steaming for best results.
