3. Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Rest the appliance on a stable surface when placing on its base.
6. Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
7. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying the water container and when not in use.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly filling the water container with distilled water.
16. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

18. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
19. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
20. Use caution when removing an attachment, as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off and attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
21. Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test appliance before use by holding it away from the body.

IMPORTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
2. Stand the unit on a table and grasp with one hand.
3. With other hand, move the release switch up toward the STEAM button.
4. Pull the reservoir out, away from the steamer body.
5. The rubber inlet cover is located on the top of the water reservoir.
6. Open the inlet cover and fill the reservoir with distilled water (which can be found in grocery stores). We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system.
7. Close the inlet cover and return the reservoir to its proper posititon, making sure that it snaps in place and is secure.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAMER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill water reservoir with distilled water.

2. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.

3. Press the ON/OFF button to turn steamer ON.

4. The blue READY light will illuminate and begin blinking. Allow 40 seconds for the unit to warm up. The appliance is ready to use when the READY light stops blinking and remains solid.
   NOTE: Before first use or when the unit has not been used for a long period of time, it will be necessary to prime (i.e., fill with water) the internal tank while the steamer prepares to steam. You may hear a small tapping noise during the heat-up process; this is normal.

5. Your steamer has 5 steam settings. Press the SETTING button repeatedly until you reach your desired setting. One red light indicates the minimum steam rate for use on delicate fabrics, while 5 red lights indicate TURBO BOOST setting for use on thicker fabrics and heavily wrinkled articles. Always have the steam facing away from you or anyone else in the room.

6. Press STEAM button to release the flow of steam.

7. To stop the flow of steam, depress the STEAM button again.

8. When first using the device, test on an old cloth, as there may be sediment left from the manufacturing process or transportation.

9. Press ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.

10. Unplug the device when it is not in use.

USING CREASER

This garment steamer has a built-in creaser on the top of the unit. To use, slide garment under the clip and align edge with the pattern as marked on the creaser. Press the STEAM button and steam will issue from the port on the top of the unit. Slide the steamer along the edge of the garment to create a sharp crease.

NOTE: Steam will continue to emit from the steam nozzle on the front of the unit during creaser use.

USING 3-IN-1 ATTACHMENT

With the garment steamer off and cool, snap the Silicone Band attachment (Fig.

1. over the steam head, ensuring it is firmly affixed. At this point, the Silicone Band can be used or you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush insert (Fig. 2) or Delicate Fabric Spacer (Fig. 3) insert into the channel on the top of the Silicone Band attachment.

NOTE: Only one function of the 3-in-1 attachment can be used at a time.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing the attachments after the unit has been in use, as the steam head will continue to be hot.

STEAMING TIPS

1. First, test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed using the lowest steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.

2. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it with the brush attachment. This will loosen the fibers and allow better steam penetration.

3. Hang your garment or fabric.
   NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
   CAUTION: If hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.

4. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.

5. For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled fabrics, you may position the steamer head directly on the fabric for a few seconds to remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working with delicate fabrics.

6. After use, turn unit OFF by depressing the STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage. BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.

7. When steaming, always keep the unit in motion. Do not continuously hold steamer over an area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric for more than a few seconds, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift on certain types of material.

8. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics such as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO BOOST setting (5 red indicator lights) and slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the lowest steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust the temperature setting and your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.

KILLS 99.9% OF BACTERIA

1. Position the garment steamer’s soleplate at a minimum distance of ½ inch (1.3 cm) from material to be treated.
2. Remain steaming in this position for 2 minutes, then move to the next area to be treated and repeat.
   The bacteria reduction rate was measured after exposing the tested samples for 2 minutes at a ½ inch distance from the garment steamer’s soleplate. Testing was performed on E. coli.

FAQs

In a Conair CNRGS59 handheld steamer, what kind of water should you use?****

Overall, distilled water is one of the best water types to use in clothing steamers. In fact, you’ll find that many clothing steamers on the market specifically advise using this type of water because it enhances the performance and longevity of the steamer.

How often should the Conair CNRGS59 steamer’s water be drained?****

Don’t leave water in your steam appliance for more than 30 days, to put it another way. Every 30 days, we suggest draining the water from your steam appliance.

How frequently should a Conair CNRGS59 steamer be used?****

Most skin types can steam two to three times per week if they have less sensitive skin. Diliberto claims that oily skin typically has a thicker texture and can withstand steaming more frequently. Once a week will do if your skin is thinner or drier.

How is the Conair CNRGS59 handheld steamer cleaned?****

At least eight hours or overnight should pass while the nozzle is submerged in the warm vinegar. After removal, thoroughly rinse the nozzle in warm water. Use a toothpick to delicately remove any deposits from each nozzle. Rinse several times, then use a towel to pat dry.

How hot does a Conair CNRGS59 handheld steam cleaner get?****

Steam cleaners have internal boilers that heat water to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Water becomes extremely hot steam at these temperatures, which can be used to pierce microscopic pores on a variety of surfaces.

Can you use a Conair CNRGS59 steamer without water?****

Yes. To drain the water from your steam iron, simply unplug it, let it cool, and then empty the water tank. If your iron has a dry/steam setting, select it; if not, select “MIN”. If your iron has a dry/steam setting, select it.

Should I touch my clothes with the Conair CNRGS59 handheld steamer?****

To get the most wrinkles out of your clothing, press the steamer’s plate against it.

Do handheld Conair CNRGS59 steamers eliminate wrinkles?****

Handheld steamers are great for travelling and removing wrinkles from smaller items like shirts. A steamer can be used in place of an iron to remove wrinkles from fabrics, especially delicate fabrics like silk, woollens, and items with pleating that can’t be ironed.

Does a Conair CNRGS59 steamer use hot or cold water?****

Fill the steamer with cold water before you plug it in. Keep your hands away from the nozzle as it heats up because steamers can cause skin burns.

Can you overnight water in a Conair CNRGS59 steamer?****

Never leave water in the steamer overnight. Neglected steamers frequently spit hot water because of the mineral buildup that results from daily use. Use a cleaning solution of vinegar and water.

Can you once fill a Conair CNRGS59 steamer with tap water?****

Yes, you should fill it with tap water per the instructions. Any undesirable contaminants will be eliminated by the steam if the rest of your house is cleaned with tap water.

What drawbacks are there to Conair CNRGS59 steaming?****

It takes more time compared to boiling. Cooking consumes more energy. Frequently, it is flavorless.

Do portable steamers like the Conair CNRGS59 clean clothes?****

Yes! The steamer can be used to get rid of odours and sweat stains on clothing. Additionally, it assists in removing wrinkles from fabrics that shouldn’t be handled by washing or dry cleaning, such as silks, vintage clothing, items with leather embellishment, and other special fabrics.

Does a Conair CNRGS59 steamer require hot water to operate?****

Once the water is boiling, just add all of your vegetables, cover the pot, and let the steaming process start. While your food is steaming, you might also want to experiment with changing the heat.

Does a Conair CNRGS59 steamer require oiling?****

Steaming is a fantastic method for creating savoury and healthy dishes because it doesn’t require using any oil to cook the food.

What does the Conair CNRGS59 steamer do?****

Typically, steamers are used to prepare vegetables, seafood, and other foods that need to retain moisture for flavour and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, food that is steam-cooked retains more of its nutritional value.
