SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR GARMENT

STEAMER

• The poles are telescopic for easy storage. There are 3 sections per pole. Starting at the bottom, open the clip on the first pole and pull upwards so that the telescopic poles inside can be drawn upwards. When it’s at the maximum length, close the clip. Repeat with the other section of pole.

Using your Garment Steamer

Before first use

• Remove any adhesive stickers, plastic covers or cardboard sleeves from the garment steamer.

• Fill the water tank and then empty out the water. This will rinse out any foreign particles remaining in the water tank from the manufacturing process.

NOTE: When turned on for the first time, your new garment steamer may give off vapours for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, and not detrimental to the performance of the garment steamer.

Filling the tank with water

• Remove the tank from the unit and remove the tank lid. Then fill with water from the tap. Do not exceed the maximum water level indicator. Tighten the tank lid, then reinsert the water tank and ensure it’s firmly in position.

Using your garment steamer

1. Insert the plug into a 230-240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.

2. Place the unit on the floor. The unit must be lower than the steam hose

3. Push the power button to turn the unit on. The boiler will begin heating and the Steam light will illuminate.

4. Select the desired steam setting for your fabric. See Steam Settings list below. The Steam light will go out once the garment steamer has reached the selected temperature.

5. Before using the garment steamer on a garment, direct a shot of steam into the air to release any remaining condensation.

6. Ensure to always hold the steam hose using the hand steam guard for safety

For best performance, we recommend the use of Sunbeam Demineralised Water as mineral deposits can build up in a garment steamer requiring the unit to be calc cleaned.

Using your Garment Steamer continued

NOTE: The steam light illuminates to indicate the garment steamer is heating and goes out when it has reached temperature selected for your steam setting. The light will cycle on and off during use as the garment steamer maintains the selected temperature. Steam will begin around 40 seconds from switching the unit on, this will be longer if the tank water is cool.

NOTE: The steam will be irregular. This is normal. When the steam hose is bent, the passage of steam is restricted, and the steam may condense back into water. The water light may flash and the unit may beep as a reminder to straighten the hose before using again.

Water light

When the unit detects an irregularity with the water, the Water light on the panel will flash, and the unit will beep as a reminder. This will occur for 2 reasons:

1. The water level in the tank is low. Simply refill the tank.

2. The steam hose is bent. Simply lift the steam hose head and straighten the hose, before using again. This will allow the condensation to flow back down to the tank.

Safety Auto Standby

When the water is running out, the ‘Water’ light on the panel will flash, and the unit will beep to let you know to add more water. If there is no water in the tank, the unit will go into standby mode and stop heating. The unit will beep and the flashing light will continue until you add more water, or press the large on/off button to turn the unit off.

Accessories

Ensure the unit is switched off and cool before you add the accessories.

• The Steam Brush simply clicks onto

the steam head. It helps to open up the weave of fabrics to improve steam penetration. Steam in the direction of the nap or weave of the fabric. Do not use the Steam Cap with the Steam Brush.

• The Steam Cap is ideal to use most of the

time as it assists in even steam dispersal, in preventing spotting and in protecting delicate fabrics (such as silk) from water droplets. Simply place over the steam head, but do not use with the Steam Brush. When finished, remove the Steam Cap to ensure it dries completely.

Care and Cleaning

After each use

1. Turn the power off and remove the plug from the power outlet.

2. Allow the garment steamer to cool before storing.

Storage

Empty the water tank before storage.

Cleaning

To clean the exterior of your garment steamer, wipe over with a damp soft cloth and wipe dry.

Caution: Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your garment steamer as these will damage the surface.

Cleaning the steam holes from the steam hose head

To remove build up from the steam holes which may affect steam performance, use a cotton wool tip moistened in methylated spirits

Calc Clean Instructions – using descaling tablets

Mineral deposits in tap water solidify when the water is heated and can build up in the unit of the garment steamer which can affect steam performance. It is important to regularly flush out the unit to maintain the best performance. We recommend calc cleaning every month. Use Ironing System descaling tablets. We recommend using Sunbeam Ironing System Descaling Tablets (SR0100).

1. Dissolve 1 x 6g tablet in 400ml of warm water (90 degrees is recommended) in a jug before use.

2. Turn the unit off and wait for it to cool completely (approx 2 hours).

CAUTION: The water in the unit and in the

tank may be hot after use. Ensure to let the garment steamer cool down.

3. Pour out all remaining water from the water tank into the sink. Lift the base unit and pour out any remaining water from the unit into the sink. You may want to unscrew the steam hose for ease.

4. Then carefully pour the descaling solution into the base unit. Leave for 2 minutes. Gently shake the base unit back and forth to dislodge any scale build up inside the unit. Leave for 2 minutes.

5. Then pour out all remaining liquid from the unit into the sink.

6. Rinse by repeating process with 400ml of water (90 degrees is recommended), shake and empty the unit again. Repeat rinsing process at least 2 times.

Care and Cleaning continued

Calc Clean instructions – using lemon juice

1. Turn the unit off and wait for it to cool completely (approx 2 hours).

2. Pour out all remaining water from the water tank into the sink. Lift the unit and pour out any remaining water from the unit into the sink. You may want to unscrew the steam hose for ease.

3. In a small jug, add 3 tbs lemon juice to 400ml of warm water (90 degrees is recommended) and stir to mix.

4. Then carefully pour the descaling solution into the base unit. Leave for 2 minutes. Gently shake the base unit back and forth to dislodge any scale build up inside the unit. Leave for 10 minutes. Shake again.

5. Then pour out all remaining liquid from the unit into the sink.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Possible Reason Solution

Water Light

When the Butler Turbo detects an irregularity with the water, the water light on the panel will flash, and the unit will beep as a reminder. This will occur for 2 reasons:

Water is spitting from the steam hose.

There is some spotting on my garments

The water level in the tank is low.

The steam hose is bent, so steam condenses back into water and will flow down into the tank.

The unit has been left and water residue has built up in the steam hose

The garment steamer unit is not on the floor, and/ or the steam hose is bent and steam is condensing in the steam hose. The steam hose needs to be straight and higher than the unit, so steam can rise up the steam hose.

The unit needs a calc clean Follow the Care Instructions

Simply refill the tank.

Please straighten the hose.

Ensure the unit is on the floor. Wait for the unit to reach temperature so steam can build.

Lift the steam hose head and straighten the hose. This will allow the condensation to flow back down to the unit.
