Oster GCSTES-100 Instruction Manual page 16

Warning: When filling the water tank, watch for water that can drip onto the floor and
cause you to slip and fall.
Tip: It is not necessary to have a full tank of water for the Steamer to generate steam.
For best results, just make sure the water tank is at least half full.
4. Close the water-fill cover, push the water tank into the steamer body until a 'click'
sound is heard.
Note: If you need to add water while steaming, unplug the steamer, wait until it cools
and follow above steps. If a loud vibrating noise is heard, then the water level is low
and needs to be refilled.
USING YOUR STEAMER VERTICALLY
You can use your Steamer in the vertical position to press with steam hanging garments
and drapes.
Caution: Heated press bar gets hot. Do not touch!
1. Hang your garment to be steamed on a clean, rust-free hanger.
2. Plug unit into a standard electrical outlet.
Warning: Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over. Always make sure you can move freely without getting tangled with the
cord.
3. The red ready indicator light turns off and will cycle on and off as the temperature is
maintained.
