and repair.
7. 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.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.
9. Never drop or insert any object into
any opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that the
cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when
in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes
or skin.
13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on
any surface or on the appliance power cord
while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance before filling or
emptying the water container and when not in

17. 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
with head away from you and any other person
when turning on.
18. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
19. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
20. Use caution when installing or removing
an attachment as it may contain hot water
from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off,
attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact
with hot water.
21. Never steam clothes you, or someone else,
are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may
cause burns if it is used too close to the skin
or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce
the risk of contact with hot water emitting from
the steam vents, test appliance before use by
holding it away from the body.

(Fig. 3) inserts into the
channel on the top of the
Silicone Band attachment
as desired.
NOTE:
Only
one function of the 3-In-1
attachment can be used at
a time.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing
the attachments after the unit has been in
use, as the steam head will continue to be
hot.
STEAMING TIPS
1.. First, test unit on an inconspicuous area
the item to be steamed using the lowest Steam
setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects
of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you
can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
2.. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush
with the brush attachment. This will loosen the
fibers and allow better steam penetration.
3.. Hang your garment or fabric
NOTE:
Avoid
using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
CAUTION: If hanging garment on a door while
steaming, be careful not to damage the door
with steam.
4.. Pass the steam jets just above the fabr
where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes
to remove the wrinkles completely.
5.. For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkl
fabrics, you may position the steamer head
directly on the fabric for a few seconds to
remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working with
delicate fabrics.
6.. After use, turn uni OFF by depressing the
STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button
to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug your
garment steamer from the outlet. Empty any
remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO
THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO UNPLUGGING
THE UNIT.
7.. When steaming, always keep the unit
motion. Do not continuously hold steamer over
an area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric
for more than a few seconds, as this can cause
damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color
shift on certain types of material.
8.. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics su
as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO BOOST
setting (5 red indicator lights) and slower
passes with the steamer may be necessary
to achieve desired results. As always, start by
testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to
be steamed, using the regular Steam setting to
ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam,
and adjust your technique as needed to obtain
the results desired.
TO KILL BEDBUGS
OR DUST MITES
Steam is a contact killer that can kill dust
mites, bedbugs and eggs. It must hit bugs
directly. When steaming to kill bedbugs, areas
to concentrate on are seams, edges, and folds
in the fabric. Direct the steamer nozzle about
half of an inch from the fabric to be steamed.
Hold the steamer head at a minor angle up off
of the surface. Do not hold flush against the
surface. Move at about an inch per second and
steam the entire area that is infested. Check
the surface behind the steamed section after
steaming. The surface should be warm to
the touch. If it’s cool, you’re moving too fast.
Move the steamer head from top to bottom of
the object you’re steaming. (Steam rises!) Be
cautious of surfaces that you can’t steam, such
as finishes on furniture, leather, certain paints.
Test on an inconspicuous area before steaming
the entire object. Please note: You may have to
repeat the process for best results.
