FOR BEST RESULTS
• Some articles can be steamed better by steaming from the underside.
• When steaming, touch material lightly with steam head and move up and down to remove wrinkles better. It
is important that you make contact with the garment and/or fabric.
• The Hand-held steamer will not remove stains from garments.
• Never steam clothes while wearing them.
• The Hand-held steamer works on most fabric, including silk, denim, cotton, polyester and wool.
• Please refer to label on item of clothing to check if garment can be steamed. In general, some fabrics, e.g.,
leather, suede and velvet may not be suitable for steaming.
• To ensure your garment is suitable for steaming, steam a small part of the inside of the garment to test that it
does not damage the fabric before steaming the entire garment or fabric.
• It is not recommended to use the garment steamer around the metal parts of the clothes. High temperature
steam will cause fading in metal fittings.
• Check if the inside of cloth is breathable, in order to not dampen the cloth with steam
• Check cloth pocket to ensure they are empty
• Check the inside of the garment for objects that are easily damaged by steam.
MAINTENANCE
After usage, unplug the garment steamer and allow it to cool completely, and empty the water tank.
NEVER USE ADDITIVES
Use of distilled or de-mineralized water will reduce the need to clean your steamer and will prolong its life, tap
water may be used as well but if you live in area with hard water mix equal proportion of tap and distilled water.
DO NOT use Additives such as cleaning agents, detergents, salt, perfumes, and dyes to the water tank. Some of
these substances are highly flammable which could result in serious bodily harm and some additives will corrode
or clog internal parts.
