HOW TO USE
This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

Remove all labels, tags and stickers attached to the
body, cord, or soleplate of the iron/steamer and the
plastic band around the power plug.
Remove and save literature.
Please note that water droplets may still be visible
in the tank at the time of purchase. This is from the
individual quality tests done to ensure that every
iron/steamer meets our high standards for product
performance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
For best performance, we recommend using distilled,
purified or filtered water in your steamer. Tap water
contains minerals that can build up inside your iron/
steamer over time and reduce its efficiency or even
cause damage.
Never use perfumes, oils or other additives.
Always check the garment's care label before
steaming, and always test fabrics for colorfastness
in an inconspicuous area. Steamers are not
recommended for use on leather, suede, vinyl, plastic,
or other materials that are sensitive to steam.
During use the iron/steamer and accessories will
become HOT. Never try to fit or remove attachments
while still hot.
After preheating, prime the water pump by holding
the steam trigger until steam forms.
It is normal to feel or hear the water pump inside the
device. It may become louder when the water level
in the tank is low. Check and refill the tank when
required.
Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If
excessive, your iron/steamer needs time to get back
up to full temperature. Just allow the iron/steamer a
minute to reheat.
Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or
steaming can actually create wrinkles. Always allow
the clothing to cool for about 5 minutes before
wearing.
ATTACHMENTS
Your iron/steamer has two attachments. Each
attachment is marked with an icon.
Reduces the possibility of damage to
fabrics such as silk and lace.
Tip: For items with printing/
embellishment, turn the garment
Delicate fabric
inside out to avoid damage to
attachment
sensitive areas.
