USING THE HANDHELD STEAMER
1.
Read the manufacturer's fabric label to make sure the fabrics are
suitable for steaming.
•
If you see “do not iron” or this icon
, do not press the ironing
plate against the garment.
•
If you see “do not steam” or this icon
, do not steam the garment.
2. Place the garment on a hanger.
•
Hang against a heat safe surface and use the ironing plate to get crisp
results. The ironing plate can also be used in the horizontal position,
with a traditional ironing board.
•
The steamer may be used by hanging the garment in an area that will
not be impacted by the heat and steam, such as on a shower rod.
3. Plug the steamer into an outlet. The indicator light will slowly blink, indicating
that the steamer is heating.
4. The Ironing Plate will be fully preheated in 1–3 minutes.
Note:
The fixed temperature on the ironing plate is a mid-range heat level
, which is suitable for most fabrics. If the garment label says not to iron
, or iron at low temperatures
, do not press the ironing plate against
the garment.
5. To generate steam, press down on the steam trigger with your index
finger. (D) As long as the trigger is held down, steam will emit from the
steamer. When the trigger is released, the steam will stop.
•
To generate a constant flow of steam without holding
the trigger, press the steam trigger and then slide the
continuous steam switch down. (E) This will activate
the continuous steam feature. To turn the steam off,
press the trigger, push the continuous steam switch
up and then release trigger.
Note:
It is normal to feel or hear the water pump in the handle.
6. To iron using the Ironing Plate on a heat safe surface
placed vertically, start steaming and then lightly press
the metal ironing plate against the garment. (F) While
holding the fabric gently taut, drag the ironing plate
up and down the fabric, being careful to keep hands
away from the steam and never leaving the plate in one
section for too long; like how a typical iron is used.
