3. Use appliance only for its intended use. Steam only in an up and down vertical motion. Never use steamer in a horizontal position or tilt into a backward position, this may result in water discharge.

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

5. Never tug cord to disconnect from outlet; instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

6. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before storing.

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

8. 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 or return to the Jiffy®Steamer factory for examination and repair.

RISK OF BURNS

How to Steam

As your dry cleaner knows, steam is the gentlest, safest, most efficient method to remove wrinkles. Not only is steaming five times faster than ironing, it is guaranteed not to scorch even the most delicate materials and fabrics. Our steamers will remove wrinkles from clothing, drapery, tablecloths...virtually any fabric. Use the following 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 the hose in an 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 hose clear of condenstation

Pants may be easily steamed by hanging them by the cuff. You may also use your Jiffy Steamboard to serve as a vertical pressing board to steam your garments.

When steaming, touch material lightly with steam head and wrinkles will vanish instantly. The combination of the warm, moist steam and the steam head is important for a smooth finish.

Esteam®Features and Directions.

ESTEAM

Directions for Use

1. Make sure your Esteam®is unplugged before filling.

2. Check to make sure the factory-installed red o-ring is secure inside the water tank before operating steamer (figure #1).

3. Fill with tap or distilled water to the full mark on the outside of the steamer. Never overfill. Never use water left overnight in steamer. Stale water causes foaming action and can create water droplets.

4. After filling, place steam cap on steamer and twist firmly until cap arrows align with arrows on the tank (figure #2). Make sure it is secure before operating unit.

5. Plug your Esteam

into proper voltage outlet. Steamer will start heating within 15 seconds, providing live steam from cold water within 2 minutes.

6. Always steam with a vertical up and down motion (figure #3).

Do not tilt unit forward or backward.

7. Avoid allowing steamer to run dry of water.

8. Refer to page 8 for complete cleaning instructions.

WARNING: Never operate without water. Unplug after each use.

Hat Nozzle (J-1 Models)

J-2

. For J-2 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. For J-1 models, the brass hat nozzle should already be attached. There is no rod set or hose attachment for J-1 models.

Every Jiffy®Steamer has been factory tested and it is not uncommon for small amounts of water to be in the unit.

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 use your foot to turn steamer on/off. 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.

(Not included on J-4000H Series)

1. 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 (figure #2). For “H” series models, there will be no hose attachment or rod set to attach.

2. Using supplied funnel, add a maximum of four quarts of warm (fresh tap or distilled) water (cold water takes longer to preheat). Do not overfill. The black water fill cap has a pressure release feature that is designed to activate should there be an increase of pressure in the boiler tank. If you start to see or hear steam escaping from the cap, check to see if the hose has a kink or loop in it. If so, straighten out the hose. If the escaping steam does not cease, please contact Jiffy Steamer at 731-885-6690. Plug into proper voltage outlet, turn switch to “PREHEAT”. Steamer will hold at this temperature, and the light will go off and on occasionally. NOTE: The J-4000 Steamer contains a large water reservoir for 2 hours of continuous steaming. Leave the switch in the “PREHEAT” position (figure #3) if you plan to use your steamer throughout the day. This will maintain water temperature in the reservoir.

3. Immediately after water is preheated, (red pilot light turns off) turn switch to “STEAM” position for steam in approximately 2 minutes. The combined touch of the steaming head and the direct steam is very important. Some

articles can be steamed better from the underneath side. Always steam with hose in upright position so any condensation is free to flow back into steamer. If steaming in a low position near floor, straighten hose up and out frequently to keep it clear of condensation. If steamer runs dry it will temporarily shut off. Once finished using the unit, turn the switch to the “OFF” position.

If more water needs to be added to the

steamer, allow steamer to cool before removing fill cap and adding more water. Never pour cold water on a hot element. Resume steaming by resetting the switch to the “STEAM” position.

4. Hang steam head and hose in upright position in the hose hanger section (figure #4), turn switch to the “OFF” position (figure #3) and unplug the cord set when not in use.

5. Periodically, pour old water out of steamer to avoid sediment build up and maintain proper water level. Never have more than 4 quarts of water in steamer. If overfilled, water will boil up into hose. The Jiffy®Liquid Cleaner is recommended every 6 months to flush mineral deposits. See page 29 for complete cleaning instructions.

Every Jiffy®Steamer has been factory tested and it is not uncommon for small amounts of water to be in the unit.

WARNING: Never operate without water. Unplug after each use.
