Insert the pole to the base. A 'click' sound indicates that pole is
securely locked to its base. Pole height can be adjusted according
to individual preference. Dock the hanger top to the pole and
steamer head can be docked to its holder.
Important
EN
Do not use your bare hand as a supporting surface when you
steam.
Do not use the appliance on an ironing board at a low position
where the hose forms a U-shape, or do not hold the steamer head
upside down. Otherwise, condensation in the hose cannot flow
back into the water tank. This may cause irregular steam, water
dripping from the steamer head and/or a croaking sound.
Filling the water tank

EN
Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. In
case you live in an area with hard water, fast scale build-up may
occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use water without minerals
such as distilled or purified water to prolong the lifetime of your
appliance.
Take the water tank out of the base and turn it around to remove
the filling cap. After filling water into the tank, tighten the cap and
place the tank back to its base.
Note: Do not add perfume, vinegar, mineral water, starch, descaling
agents, ironing aids, chemically descaled water or other chemicals
as they may cause water spitting, brown staining, or damage to
your appliance.

garment, and pull the sides of the garment with your other hand to
stretch it.
Move the steamer head horizontally along the collar.
For shirt pockets, move the steamer head upwards against the fabric.
