IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially

when children are present, basic safety

precautions should always be taken, including

the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING

DANGER –

Any appliance is electrically

live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
1.

Always unplug appliance immediately

after use and before cleaning.

2. Do not place or store appliance where it can

fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
3. Do not place in or drop into water or

other liquids.
4. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen

into water.

Unplug immediately.

5. Use only in a dry area.

WARNING –

To reduce the risk of

burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1.

This appliance should never be left

unattended when plugged in.

2.

This appliance is not a toy and is not to be

used by children.

3. Close supervision is necessary when this

appliance is used near children or individuals

with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could

result in fire or personal injury.

4. Use this appliance only for its intended

use as described in this manual. Do not

use attachments not recommended by the

manufacturer.
5. Rest the appliance on a stable surface when

placing on its base.
6.

Never operate this appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working

properly, if it has been dropped or damaged,

or if it has been dropped into water. Do not

attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect

reassembly or repair could cause a risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when the appliance is used. Return the

appliance to an authorized service center for

examination and repair.

7. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.

Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool

completely before putting away. Loop cord

loosely around appliance when storing.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). As a safety feature, this

plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified

electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety

feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into

any opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where

aerosol (spray) products are being used or

where oxygen is being administered.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,

a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords

rated for less amperage may overheat. Care

should be taken to arrange the cord so that the

cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when

in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes

or skin.
13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on

any surface or on the appliance power cord

while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance before filling or

emptying the water container and when not in

use.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly

filling the water container with distilled water.
16. Never yank cord to disconnect from

outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull

to disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot

surfaces, hot water, or steam. Use care when

removing water reservoir or when you turn a

steam appliance upside down – there may be

hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer

with head away from you and any other person

when turning on.
18. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
19. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do

not operate another high-wattage appliance on

the same circuit.
20. Use caution when installing or removing

an attachment, as it may contain hot water

from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off,

attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact

with hot water.
21. Never steam clothes you, or someone else,

are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may

cause burns if it is used too close to the skin

or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce

the risk of contact with hot water emitting from

the steam vents, test appliance before use by

holding it away from the body.

wrinkled articles.

6. Press the STEAM button to emit steam. Pick

up steamer and begin steaming, pointing the

jets away from you and anyone in the room.

ATTACHMENTS

CREASER ATTACHMENT -

Creates a crease in pants,

shirts, blouses and more.

DELICATES BONNET -

protects trims and safely steam

fine fabrics.

2-IN-1 ATTACHMENT

Silicone Band -

pulls fabric

taut for better results.

Bristle Brush

- ensures steam

penetrates fibers for a perfect

press, even on heavy fabrics.

USING ATTACHMENTS

With the garment steamer off and cool, snap

the Silicone Band, creaser or delicates bonnet

attachment over the steam head, ensuring it

is firmly affixed. At this point, for the 2-in-1

attachment, the Silicone Band can be used or

you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush

insert into the channel on the top of the Silicone

Band attachment, as desired.

NOTE:

Only one

function of the 2-In-1 attachment can be used

at a time.

CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing

the attachments after the unit has been in

use, as the steam head will continue to be

hot.

STEAMING TIPS

1. First, test unit on an inconspicuous area of the

item to be steamed using the lowest STEAM

setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects

of steam. If there is no evidence of damage,

you can proceed to use the steamer on that

item.

2. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it

with the brush attachment. This will loosen the

fibers and allow better steam penetration.

3. Hang your garment or fabric.

NOTE:

Avoid

using metal clothes hangers, if possible.

CAUTION: If hanging garment on a door

while steaming, be careful not to damage

the door with steam.

4. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric

where the wrinkles are. It may take a few

passes to remove the wrinkles completely.

5. For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled

fabrics, you may position the steamer head

directly on the fabric for a few seconds to

remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working

with delicate fabrics.

6. After use, turn unit off by depressing the

STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button

to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug

your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty

any remaining water from the tank to avoid

leakage.

BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF

BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO

UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.

7. When steaming, always keep the unit in

motion. Do not continuously hold steamer

over one area or touch steamer jets directly

to fabric for more than a few seconds, as

this can cause damage, including shrinkage,

melting, or color shift on certain types of

material.

8. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics, such

as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO setting

and slower passes with the steamer may

be necessary to achieve desired results. As

always, start by testing on an inconspicuous

area of the item to be steamed, using the

regular steam setting to ensure fabric can

tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your

technique as needed to obtain the results

desired.
