2) The pressing plate must be lifted to the raised (up) position.

3) Slide the water tank towards the front of the unit. It will not come
completely out so do not force it to do so. Using the water
beaker, slowly pour the distilled water into the water tank. Never
overfill the water tank. The water level can be seen through the
front of the tank.

4) Be careful to avoid spilling water onto the steam press when
filling.

5) Slide the water tank back in.

6) When pressing, unplug the appliance before refilling.

allowing free movement of the pressing plate before plugging in
the appliance.

• Lift the pressing plate to the fully raised (up) position.

• Plug the appliance into an electric outlet.

• Press “ON/OFF” and the red power light will turn on.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

NOTE: You may find it more efficient to arrange your fabrics from

setting and proceed accordingly. This will avoid any unnecessary
delay or wait for the pressing plate to cool.

STEAM CONTROL

• Steam is produced only when the yellow steam ready light is on.

• The green ready light goes off when the unit has reached the

desired temperature. The yellow steam ready light will come on
when the unit is ready to produce steam.

• If this is the first time you are using the steam press or you have
been storing it for some time, lift the pressing plate into the raised
position and press the burst of steam button several times until the
steam begins to flow.

• The burst of steam function can only be used when the steam
ready light is on AND the steam press is in a slightly opened
position. Do not use the burn of steam function when the steam
press is closed, or you may damage the unit.

•

Do not press the burst of steam button for more than 5 seconds or
water may drip on your garment.

PRESSING

• Make sure the locking knob (2) is in the open position (UNLOCK).

• Lift the handle (1). The pressing plate (4) moves to the up position.

• Carefully arrange the garment to be pressed onto the ironing

board (5).

• Grasp the handle of the pressing plate(4) and lower it onto the
ironing board (5), capturing the garment between the two halves
of the steam press.

• For lightly creased garments, simply lowering the handle and
allowing the pressing plate to rest on the ironing board will be
sufficient. Return to the open position. For very creased garments,
continue to grasp the handle and press downward until the
pressing plate is pushed to its lowest position, and then open the
press.

• If the temperature is set high enough you may give the fabric a
burst of steam by pressing the burst of steam button (3) to
remove stubborn wrinkles. Lower the pressing plate until it is about
two inches from the garment. Press the burst of steam button for
about 3-5 seconds. After releasing the burst of steam button you
may fully lower the pressing plate.

NOTE: Do not press the burst of steam button when the pressing
plate is in its lowest (closed) position.

• After a few seconds, lift the handle and raise the pressing plate
back to the raised position.

USING THE SPRAY BOTTLE

Lightly spray the garment before placing it on the ironing board. This
helps to distribute an even, fine mist over the fabric, preparing it to
be pressed, and removing all wrinkles.

USING THE PRESSING CUSHION

Some garments have been constructed with details, such as darts,
curved seams and shoulder pads, which are not intended to be
pressed flat. A pressing cushion is supplied with your steam press for
use with these areas.

• Use the cushion whenever pressing areas where no creases are
desired or to shape tailored garments.

• Place the area to be pressed onto the ironing board.

• Place the pressing cushion under the dart, seam etc.

• Make sure the area to be pressed is raised and lower the pressing

plate. The raised area is the only area the plate should contact.
NOTE: Do not attempt to lower the pressing plate to its lowest
position or lock the pressing plate against the ironing board with
the pressing cushion in place. You MAY DAMAGE the steam press
by doing so.

•

Raise the pressing plate after a few seconds.

STORING

• Water may be left in the water tank, because it will not drip out if
the machine is stored in an upright position. However, it is
recommended that if the machine will be stored for some time,
that all the water in the unit should be drained by pressing the
burst of steam button until all of the water is pumped out.

• Press “ON/OFF”, the red power light will go out. Disconnect the
plug from the outlet. Leave appliance in open position.

• Wait for the steam press to cool completely (approximately 30
minutes).

• When cool, lower the pressing plate onto the ironing board
pushing the handle to its lowest position.

• Turn the locking knob to the locked position. This should prevent
the steam press from opening while being moved or stored.

• Loosely wrap the electric cord
and place it in the opening at
the front of the base of the
ironing board. You are now ready
to store the unit.

CLEANING

• To clean the pressing plate, place the pressing cushion in the

center of the ironing board. Place a clean towel over the
pressing cushion and the ironing board. Set the temperature
control to its maximum setting. When the ready light comes on
and the steam ready light goes off, gently lower the pressing
plate onto the pressing cushion. With water in the water tank,
press the burst of steam button 6 to 7 times. Be careful to avoid
