HOW TO STEAM
Grasp the handle of the steam nozzle with
the steam jets facing away from you. Begin
at the bottom of the fabric to allow the steam
to rise inside and outside, removing wrinkles.
Slowly move the nozzle from the bottom to
the top of the fabric. Remove the nozzle from
the garment and smooth the fabric with your
free hand. Some fabrics are best steamed on
the underside of the material. This will allow
the fibers of the fabric to relax, eliminating
wrinkles.
NOTE: Test fabric for color fastness in an
inconspicuous spot. Drape linens, towels,
handkerchiefs and napkins over a rod or
place on a towel rack.
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steam-
ing. Repeat as necessary.
With practice, you will gain speed and
efficiency. You will soon learn which
fabrics require multiple steam applications.
Do not directly touch velvet or silk with the
steam head.
Always steam with hose in upright
position, so any condensation is free
to flow back into the steamer. Always
hold the nozzle about ½ inch from fabric
while steaming.
If you steam in a low position, condensation
will collect inside the hose. This will cause
gurgling and some water droplets to form
near the steam jets on the handle. To avoid
this, frequently lift the steam handle upward
until the hose is extended to its full height.
TO STEAM DRAPES
Wash and dry drapes as directed, according
to fabric type. Rehang drapes and steam
when they are in place
CAUTION:
Hose will be hot when
in use. Avoid prolonged contact.
