Installation Instructions
Refer to illustration sheet
(1)UNCRATE MACHINE. Check the nameplate voltage and current, making sure it is the same as the supply voltage and current.
(2)SET MACHINE IN POSITION.
(3)REMOVE THE REVOLVING FORM by holding the turning knob and the opposite weight “bucket” and lifting approximately 22”.
(4)CONNECT STEAM SUPPLY LINE as shown on next page.
(5)CONNECT RETURN LINE as shown on next page.
NOTE: |
Before final return line connection is made, open the steam supply |
|
valve and blow all foreign matter out of the steam lines and |
|
chamber. Failure to do so will cause trap to leak. |
(6)MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS in 3” junction box on rear of the machine, according to applicable electric codes. Connections should include a fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker with “slo-blow” characteristics and be capable of carrying 15 amps 115 volts or 8 amps 230 volts.
(7)MAKE SURE THE CONDENSER VALVE IS OPEN (condenser located behind the air filter) before connecting clothes tree.
(8)CONNECT CLOTHES TREE TO REAR OF BASE by the two 1/4” bolts.
(9)TURN ON ELECTRICAL POWER AND TEST THE MACHINE. Replace the revolving assembly, remove the plastic protective bag, and open the return and steam lines.

CISSI FORM FINISHER
The “Tower of Power” is at your fingertips for all of the finishing combinations you will ever need. All three timers (steaming, conditioning, drying) are adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. The cycle switch provides (presteam only, steaming-conditioning-drying, steam & air-conditioning-drying) which ever is required. The white switch allows you to have air only for sizing and provides a cancel position to terminate the cycle at any time. The automatic push-to-start switch is available on the tower or by the foot switch. The lights will glow whenever you are in any of the timer periods. Damper control lever is on top of tower.
Where possible, perform all touch-up of sleeves, collars, trim, etc., prior to finishing on the Genie. In this way, differences in sheen will be eliminated from the garment.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
When finishing knits or soft unlined woolens, place net overbag on form before positioning garment. After garment is positioned on form, repeat Step #2 in Operating Instructions. Push damper knob all the way to obtain full air pressure and repeat step 6 to start cycle.
To finish coats and other open front garments, use front paddle clamp to hold front of garment in place. Use the hand vent clamps to hold rear vent or pleat.
When additional moisture is needed for hard set wrinkles, use the water spray gun, spraying into the steam from a distance of approximately 15”. Rotate the garment to the spray gun, using the turning knob on the revolving assembly.
Keep the nylon bag clean and in good repair. A vacuum cleanable air filter is provided to help keep the bag clean. Vacuum clean the filter weekly. Remove nylon bag (see detailed instructions) and wet clean as required. Repair holes or worn spots. To obtain proper characteristics of cloth porosity, bag size, and control strings, use only genuine Cissell replacement bags.
