after using.

2. Do not place or store appliance where it can

fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

3. Do not place in, or drop into water or other

liquids.

WARNING -

To reduce the risk of burns,

electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:

This appliance should never be left un-

attended when plugged in.

2. Close supervision is necessary when

this appliance is used by, on, or near chil-

dren or individuals with certain disabilities.

Unsupervised use could result in fire or per-

sonal injury.

3. Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual. Do not use attach-

ments not recommended by the manufacturer.

Never operate this appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is not work-

ing properly, or if it has been dropped or

damaged, or dropped into water. Do not

attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect

reassembly or repair could cause a risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when the appliance is used. Return the

appliance to an authorized service center

for examination and repair.

5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.

Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool

completely before putting away. Loop cord

loosely around appliance when storing.

6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). As a safety

feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt

to defeat this safety feature.

7. Never drop or insert any object into any

opening.

8. Do not use outdoors or operate where aero-

sol (spray) products are being used or where

oxygen is being administered.

9. Do not use an extension cord to operate

appliance.

10. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot

when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch

eyes or skin.

11. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on

any surface or on the appliance power cord

while it is hot or plugged in.

12. Unplug this appliance before filling or

emptying. Do not overfill.

13. Do not operate steamer without properly

filling the water container.

14. Never yank cord to disconnect from

outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to

disconnect.

15. Burns could occur from touching hot parts,

hot water, or steam. Use care when removing

water reservoir or when you turn a steam

appliance upside down – there may be hot

water in reservoir. Always position steamer

head away from you and any other person

when turning on.

16. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do

not operate another high wattage appliance on

the same circuit.

17. When installing or removing attachments,

please be sure the unit is off and no steam is

being released to avoid contact with hot water.

18. Use caution when installing or removing

an attachment as it may contain hot water

from condensation. Ensure that the attach-

ment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with

hot water.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
2. The power light will light up (red). Allow

one or two minutes for the unit to warm up.

The appliance is ready to use when the ready

light goes on (green).
3. Holding the steam jets away from you and

anyone else in the room, engage the trig-

ger. Steam should now be released from the

steam jets. To have continuous steam, just

move switch down so you will have continu-

ous steam without having to hold the trigger.

Always have steam facing away from you

or anyone in the room.

4. When first using the device, test on an old

cloth, as there may be sediment left from the

manufacturing process or transportation.
5. On the back of the steamer there is a

sliding switch for high and low settings. High

is for heavier and badly wrinkled fabric and

provides faster, hotter, less visible steam.

Low setting should be used for delicate fabrics

like silk, in combination with soft cushion brush

attachment.
6. To stop the flow of steam, release the

trigger or lower the switch.
7. Unplug the device when it is not in use.

STEAMING TIPS

1. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush

it with the soft cushion brush attachment. This

will loosen the fibers and allow better steam

penetration.
2. Hang your garment or fabric.
3. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric

where the wrinkles are. It may take a few

passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
4. After use, unplug steamer and empty any

remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
5.

CAUTION: When hanging garment on

a door while steaming, be careful not to

damage the door with steam
