1. ASSEMBLY

Tips for better results with your garment steamer

• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer
recommendations before steaming. We also recommend testing the
garment and effect on the garment on an unobtrusive area such as an
inner seam.

• Button up the shirt’s collar to prevent them slipping on the hanger
during steaming.

• Gently press steamer brush into fabric while making slow passes.

• Avoid direct contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.

• Some garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.

• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed for longer.

• If you have to use the steam head near the floor, raise the hose
frequently to a vertical position in order to avoid condensation.
A gurgling noise may be heard if the flexible hose is pinched.

• If no steam is produced, if a gurgling sound is heard or if water is
dripping through the holes of the steam head, raise the steam hose
occasionally to remove condensation inside the hose.

Insert the pole in the housing & then lock.

Open the three pole locks.
