USE
Warning: Never steam a garment while it is being worn.
1 • Setting up
The flexible hose and the end of the steam head can become extremely hot during
use. This is perfectly normal. Be careful and avoid any prolonged contact.
• Only operate the steamer on the floor clear of any materials which may obstruct the
base of the steamer (flat and horizontal surface). Do not obstruct the openings on the
lower part of the appliance. This device should not be used on very thick carpets or rugs.
• Undo the Velcro strip and completely unwind the electrical cord.
• Plug in to power socket. (fig.13)
• Switch on by pressing the pedal located at the front of the device. The power indicator
light will come on. (fig.14)
• The device will begin producing steam after approximately 60 seconds.
2 • Using the Roll & Press system
The Roll & Press system integrated in the hanger provides a vertical support while
steaming, to help remove wrinkles more easily and efficiently.
To use the Roll & Press system:
• Hold the Roll & Press system handle and roll down the shade (fig. 15).
• Insert the handle into the locking hook on the pole and check that it is firmly locked.
(fig. 16)
• Hang the garments from the built-in hanger or from another hanger which may be
suspended from the hook located on the hanger rod. (fig. 18-19)
• To steam trousers, we recommend that you also use the support with clips as indicated
in the illustration.(fig. 20)
• Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you.
• Start steaming by brushing material lightly with the grain of the fabric in an up/down
vertical motion.
• The vertical support shade helps keep the garment in place while steaming.
• Start at the top the garment and gradually move downward. lways steam in a vertical
position.
• lways be careful not to touch the hot steam.
• lways hang the steam head in an upright position on the hook when not in use.-
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to
condensation. If the device begins to gurgle, rest the steam head on its support for a
few moments in order to direct the condensation into the device once again.
• During use, some water drips may appear on the telescopic pole. This is also a normal
occurrence due to condensation. To limit this phenomena, do not press too heavily the
a
steam head on the Roll & Press shade.
