The distance maintained between
the steamer and fabrics is
dependent upon the delicateness of
the material, and can vary from
fabric to fabric.
Always test first on an
inconspicuous part of the fabric.
During pauses in steaming, condensate
can build up in the steam hose, which
is expelled when the steam button is
pressed again. To prevent the textiles
from becoming too damp, the first burst
of steam after a pause should not be
directed onto the textiles themselves.
