IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- For best performance, we recommend using distilled, purified or filtered water in your steamer. Tap water contains minerals that can build up inside your steamer over time and reduce its efficiency or even cause damage.
- Never use perfumes, oils or other additives.
- Always check the garment’s care label before steaming, and always test fabrics for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area. Steamers are not recommended for use on leather, suede, vinyl, plastic, or other materials that are sensitive to steam.
- During use the steamer and accessories will become HOT. Never try to fit or remove attachments while still hot.
- After preheating, prime the water pump by holding the steam trigger until steam forms.
- It is normal to feel or hear the water pump inside the device. It may become louder when the water level in the tank is low. Check and refill the tank when required.
- Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, your steamer needs time to get back up to full temperature. Just allow the steamer a minute to reheat.
- Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or steaming can actually create wrinkles. Always allow the clothing to cool for about 5 minutes before wearing.
LINT ATTACHMENT

Tip: The pad on the attachment helps remove lint, hair, and animal fur.
