IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING
THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING -

or injury to persons:

• Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care
when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the
reservoir.

• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check
appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam
button.

• Use appliance only for its intended use.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other
liquids.

• Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.

• Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.

• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been
dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified service person
for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock,

• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do
not leave appliance unattended while connected.

• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.

• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 20 ampere rated cord should be
used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to
arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

DANGER-

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, you may
temporarily use an adapter (such as the one shown in Figure
B) until you have a proper outlet (such as the one shown in
Figure C) installed by a qualified electrician.

To reduce the risk electric shock:

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
Figure D if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet Figure
C can be installed by a qualified electrician. The tab for grounding
screw Figure B extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw. See Figures D and E.

Instructions for Use

Before Beginning

Read all instructions including Important Safety Instructions and Warnings before use.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Turn the water tank upside down and unscrew

the cap (Figure 9).

2. Hold the tank under clean cool tap water and fill

to the desired level. DO NOT fill past the MAX FILL line.

3. Once the tank is filled, screw the cap back on and

turn over. Place the water tank in the
steamer water tank cavity. Make sure it is sitting
securely (Figure 10).
NOTE:

• Only fill the tank with clean cool water. DO NOT use

HOT water.

• If the water in your area is extremely hard or has high mineral

content, only use demineralized or distilled water.

• Do not use any additives in the water such as fabric softeners, scents, bleach,
and starch. They will damage the garment steamer and your garment.

Using the Steamer

Always check fabric labels for recommendations before steaming. Test color fastness in
an inconspicuous spot. Some fabrics can be steamed better from the underside of the
material. Heavy fabrics may require repeated steaming. Never steam a garment while it
is being worn.

1. Do not operate the steamer without water in the water tank.

2. Be sure the steamer nozzle is placed on the hanger attachment (Figure 4).

3. Plug the steamer cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

4. Hang the garment to be steamed on the steamer’s collapsible
hanger. Attach the bottom of the garment to the low hanger clips
to keep it taut.

5. Press the foot press ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
The switch will illuminate (Figure 11).

6. A beep will sound indicating the steamer is ready for use.

7. After the beep sounds push the Steam on Demand button to turn on
the steam. The light glows green. Press the Steam on Demand button
to turn off the steam. The light turns off (Figure 12).

8. Once continuous steam emits from the steam nozzle, adjust the
pressurized steam

settings to the desired intensity. The + button

increases the steam intensity. The – button
decreases the steam intensity (Figure 12).
The default steam intensity is medium setting 4.

9. Lightly press the steam nozzle against the
garment and steam in a vertical motion starting
from the top of the garment to the bottom (Figure 13).
Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the
steamer and in a vertical position.
NOTE:

• The steamer will make a pumping sound during operation. This is

Figure 13

normal.

• A beep will sound when the tank is empty.

10. The Steam on Demand button pauses the steam. This button can be used when
repositioning, changing a garment, or during interruptions to prolong steam output
(Figure 12).

NOTE:

• Allow a few seconds for the boiler to cool down and the steam to stop after pressing
the steam on demand button.

• If the steam on demand button is activated for several minutes, it will take up to 25
seconds for the steam to resume.

Using Attachments

When attaching or changing attachments, be sure the unit is off, unplugged, and com­pletely cool to avoid contact with hot water.

Cloth Nozzle Covers

The cloth nozzle cover can be used to soften the pressurized
steam intensity.

• Place the cloth cover over the steam nozzle (Figure 14).

• Steam in a downward motion from top to bottom.

Fabric Brush

The fabric brush opens the fabric weave for better steam penetration
on heavily wrinkled garments.

• Attach the fabric brush by lining up the notches on the

fabric brush with the holes on the steam nozzle. Gently
push into place (Figure 15).

• Steam in a downward motion from top to bottom gently

brushing the fabric.
