Conair GSP1 - User Manual

TO PRESS TWO SIDES AT ONCE

You can take advantage of

the two heated aluminum

plates on the interior of the

unit to simultaneously press

two sides of a garment.
5. If plates are locked,

unlock them by sliding

the lock button to the unlocked position. Use

caution as the plates may be hot.

6. Place a section of your garment between the

two heated plates, trapping it by squeezing

the middle of the unit so that the plates

come together. While maintaining the tension,

slowly pull the unit to the edge of the

garment. At the edge, release the pressure

on the handle and repeat the process on

additional sections of the garment until

wrinkles are removed. It may be necessary

to repeat the process on certain sections to

achieve the look you want.

The slower you pull, the fewer passes your

garment will require.

TO STEAM

7. With the unit unplugged and cool, remove the

water tank by gripping it and pulling straight out.

8. Add

cold distilled or purified water

to water

tank until it is fully filled (up to 50 ml).

9. Return the water tank back to the unit.
10. Plug in the unit and press the power button.

The white Power/Ready Indicator Light will

blink for 30 seconds and then become solid

when appliance is ready to use.

11. Press the Normal Steam button and a

regular amount of steam will come out of

the plates. For tough wrinkles, press the

Turbo Steam button for turbocharged steam.

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 for examination and repair.

Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause

a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when the appliance is used.

4. Do not use the unit if it has fallen or if it

appears to be damaged.

8. This unit is not intended for use by people

(including children) with reduced physical,

sensory, or mental capabilities, or by persons

who lack experience or knowledge, unless

they are supervised or have been given

instructions beforehand on the use of the

unit by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to make sure

they do not treat the unit like a toy.

9. Allow the unit to cool before storing.

10. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let

appliance cool completely before putting

away. Loop cord loosely around appliance

when storing.

11. 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

do not operate another high-wattage

appliance on the same circuit.

16. Use of an extension cord is not

recommended. If an extension cord is

absolutely necessary, a 13-ampere cord

should be used. A cord rated for less

amperage may overheat. Care should be

taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot

be pulled or tripped over.

17. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet,

instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

STEAMING TIPS

CAUTION:

First, test unit on an inconspicuous

area of the item to be steamed to ensure fabric

can tolerate its effect. If there is no evidence of

damage, you may proceed to use the steamer

on that item.
1. Hang up the garment or fabric item.

NOTE:

Avoid using metal clothes hangers,

if possible.

2. Hold fabric taut with one hand and the

steamer with the other. Pass the steam

jets just above the wrinkled fabric. It may

take a few passes to remove the wrinkles

completely.

CAUTION:

If garment is to be

steamed while hanging on a door, use

caution by protecting the door from potential

damage that could be caused by the steam.

3. After use, turn off the steam button, then

the power button. With dry hands, unplug

your Steam Stylist from the outlet.

BE SURE

TO PRESS THE POWER BUTTON PRIOR TO

UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.

Carefully empty

any remaining water from the tank to avoid
