Before connecting your handheld garment steamer to the mains supply, make sure your supply voltage is the same as the one indicated on your appliance.
When you first use your handheld garment steamer, there may be a slight odour and it may smoke slightly for the first few minutes of operation. This is quite normal and will disappear.
Follow these simple steps to remove any impurities or residues inside your handheld garment steamer that may be left over from the manufacturing process.
Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any other chemicals to the water in your handheld garment steamer.
Never use steam on silks or synthetics.
Note: Before first use or if the handheld garment steamer has not been used for a long period of time, it will be necessary to prime the appliance. See 'Cleaning your handheld garment steamer before use' for instructions.
Your handheld garment steamer comes with a 2-in-1 silicone band and fabric brush.
Make sure the handheld garment steamer is unplugged and cool before applying attachments. If the unit has been in use, allow the unit to cool down completely first before changing attachments as the press plate will still be hot.
ALWAYS disconnect your handheld garment steamer from the mains supply socket after use. NEVER leave the appliance unattended with the auto shut off function in operation.
An electronic safety device will automatically switch the heating element off when the appliance has been powered on continuously for 15 minutes. To indicate that the heating element has been switched off, the power indicator light will illuminate and slowly breath on and off. To re-activate the handheld garment steamer:
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to descale of your handheld garment steamer.
We advise you do this operation in a vented room.
After 5 hours of accumulative use, the steam mode indicator lights will flash to indicate that the handheld steamer requires descaling. Descaling helps to removes scale and impurities to prolong the life of your appliance. If the water in your area is very hard, the descaling should be performed more frequently.
Do not use harsh abrasives, chemical cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior of your handheld garment steamer. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
Allow your handheld garment steamer to completely cool down and wipe the press plate and exterior with a soft damp cloth. Wipe dry before storing.
