How to Steam
As your drycleaner knows, steam is the gentlest, safest, most eff icient method to
remove wrinkles. Not only is steaming fi ve times f aster than ironing, it is guaranteed
not to scorch even the most delicate materials and fabrics. Our steamers will remov e
wrinkles from clothing, drapery, tablecloths...virtually an y fabric. Use the follo wing
information to help guide you to more proficient steaming.
Some articles
can be steamed
better from the
underside. This
allows the
steam to relax
the fibers of the
material, thus
removing the wrinkles.
Jiffy
®
Steamers are
great for removing
“closet crunch,” and
they eliminate most
trips to the drycleaner.
Convenient hanger/hook
mechanism holds both clothes and
steam head securely.
Always steam with
hose in upright
position so any
condensation is free
to flow back into
the steamer. If
steaming in a low
position near floor,
frequently extend hose up and out
to keep clear.
Pants may be easily steamed by
hanging then by the cuff. You may
also use your Jiffy Steamboard to
serve as a vertical pressing board to
position your garments.
4
When steaming,
touch material
lightly with steam
head and wrinkles
will vanish instantly.
The combination of
the steam and the
steam head is
important for a
smooth finish. Do not directly touch
velvet or silk with the steam head.

. For J-2/J-200 models, attach hose firmly with included
assembly wrench, which is magnetized and located on
the bottom of the unit (figure #1). Assemble and attach
hose hanger rod set. See page 9 for assembly instructions.
For J-1 models, the brass hat nozzle should already be
attached. There is no rod set for J-1 models.
2. Invert bottle of fresh tap or distilled water, plug into
proper voltage outlet, turn switch to lighted ON position
and you will have steam within minutes. Never substitute the Jiffy
®
Steamer water bottle.
3. For easy operation, mount optional Jiffy®Steamboard to
door or wall to hold clothing while steaming (figure #2).
For hanging garments without optional Jiffy
®
Steamboard, simply install an eye screw or nail to inside
of a doorway or directly onto a wall or you may use
steamer’s rod set as shown in figure 3. Touch material
lightly with steaming head and wrinkles will vanish
instantly. The combined touch of the steaming head and
the direct steam is very important. Some articles can be
steamed better from the underneath side. Speed and
efficiency is accomplished with a little practice. Always
steam with hose in an upright position, so any
condensation is free to flow back into steamer. If
steaming in a low position near floor, extend hose up and
out frequently to keep clear of
condensation. DO NOT ALLOW
STEAMER TO RUN DRY.
4. Hang steam head in an upright
position in the hose hanger section
when not in use and turn switch to
OFF (figure #3).
5. Periodically, pour old water out of
steamer to avoid sediment buildup and
maintain proper water level (figure
#4). Remove hard water deposits with Jiffy®Liquid
Cleaner. See page 28 for complete cleaning
instructions.
NOTE: No two water supplies have the same mineral content. If your steamer
begins to cut on and off during normal use, the thermostat is indicating the
heating unit needs the sediment cleaned out.
