Steamer
The steamer a facilitates the smoothing of hanging textiles, e.g. dresses and jackets. It is fitted with a removeable brush attachment b for raising and straightening the fibres.

Connection
The steamer is equipped with a connection for the Miele steam ironing system.

■ Press the button briefly and release it again. For constant steam:
■ Press and hold the button. Always steam the textile in the direction of the
fibres.
The distance between the steamer and the textile is dependent on the sensitivity of the fabric and can vary between textiles. Always test this first on an unobtrusive part of the fabric.
Brush attachment

The steamer can be held directly on the textile with the brush attached.
Always try it out on an unobtrusive part of the fabric first.
The brush attachment helps to raise and straighten the fibres.

■ Guide the brush attachment into the notches on the opposite side and click these into place.
■ To remove the brush attachment, pull it by the raised section off the steamer.
