- This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
- This appliance is not a toy and is not to be used by children.
- Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.
- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Rest the appliance on a stable surface when placing on its base.
- Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
- Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
- Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
- If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
- Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
- Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
- Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying the water container and when not in use.
- Do not operate steamer without properly filling the water container with distilled water.
- Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
- Burns could occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Use care when removing water reservoir or when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer with head away from you and any other person when turning on.
- Do not hold hand in front of steam.
- To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
- Use caution when installing or removing an attachment as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off, attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
- Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.
- 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 from the body.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure the unit is unplugged.
- Stand the unit on a table and grasp with one hand.
- With other hand, move the release switch up toward the STEAM button.
- Pull the reservoir out, away from the steamer body.
- The rubber inlet cover is located on the top of the water reservoir.
- Open the inlet cover and fill the reservoir with distilled water (which can be found in grocery stores).
We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system. - Close the inlet cover and return the reservoir to its place, making sure that it snaps in place and is secure.

You may hear a small tapping noise during the heat-up process; this is normal.
- Your steamer has 5 steam settings. Press the SETTING button repeatedly until you reach your desired setting. One red light indicates the minimum steam rate for use on delicate fabrics, while 5 red lights indicate TURBO BOOST setting for use on thicker fabrics and heavily wrinkled articles. Always have the steam facing away from you or anyone else in the room.

USING CREASER
This garment steamer has a built-in creaser on the top of the unit. To use, slide garment under the clip and align edge with the pattern as marked on the creaser. Press the STEAM button and steam will issue from the port on the top of the unit. Slide the steamer along the edge of the garment to create a sharp crease. NOTE: Steam will continue to emit from the steam nozzle on the front of the unit during creaser use.

USING 3-IN-1 ATTACHMENT
With the garment steamer off and cool, snap the Silicone Band attachment (Fig. 1) over the steam head, ensuring it is firmly affixed. At this point the Silicone Band can be used or you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush (Fig. 2) or Delicate Fabric Spacer (Fig. 3) inserts into the channel on the top of the Silicone Band attachment as desired. NOTE: Only one function of the 3-In-1 attachment can be used at a time.

Use extreme care when changing the attachments after the unit has been in use, as the steam head will continue to be hot.
STEAMING TIPS
- First, test unit on an inconspicuous area the item to be steamed using the lowest Steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
- To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush with the brush attachment. This will loosen the fibers and allow better steam penetration.
- Hang your garment or fabric. NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
![]()
If hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam. - Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
- For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled fabrics, you may position the steamer head directly on the fabric for a few seconds to remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working with delicate fabrics.
- After use, turn uni OFF by depressing the STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage. BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.
- When steaming, always keep the unit motion. Do not continuously hold steamer over an area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric for more than a few seconds, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift on certain types of material.
- In the case of heavier, durable fabrics such as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO BOOST setting (5 red indicator lights) and slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the regular Steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.
TO KILL BEDBUGS OR DUST MITES
Steam is a contact killer that can kill dust mites, bedbugs and eggs. It must hit bugs directly. When steaming to kill bedbugs, areas to concentrate on are seams, edges, and folds in the fabric. Direct the steamer nozzle about half of an inch from the fabric to be steamed. Hold the steamer head at a minor angle up off of the surface. Do not hold flush against the surface. Move at about an inch per second and steam the entire area that is infested. Check the surface behind the steamed section after steaming. The surface should be warm to the touch. If it's cool, you're moving too fast. Move the steamer head from top to bottom of the object you're steaming. (Steam rises!) Be cautious of surfaces that you can't steam, such as finishes on furniture, leather, certain paints. Test on an inconspicuous area before steaming the entire object. Please note: You may have to repeat the process for best results.
