Garment Steamer Tips
NOTICE: To avoid garment damage, check garment label for fabric
composition and any steaming instructions such as this symbol:
• The retractable pole should be fully extended during operation to
ensure the free flow of steam through the flexible steam hose.
• Inserting the retractable pole so that the integrated garment hanger
faces the rear of the unit will ensure stability while steaming
clothing.
• Do not operate without water in the water tank. To add water
during operation, first switch steamer OFF ( ) and then remove
water tank and refill.
• Use caution when hanging clothing from the integrated garment
hanger. Too much weight or pulling on the garment hanger may
cause the unit to tip over.
• The integrated garment hanger is not intended for hanging multiple
garments at one time or for garment storage.
• When steaming, touching fabrics lightly with the steam nozzle/
handle will assist in wrinkle removal. It is important to make
contact with the garment and/or fabric.
• For more difficult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of
the fabric. This allows the fibers in the material to relax.
• Pants are more easily steamed upside down, holding the cuffs.
• Your garment steamer is also ideal for steaming curtains, upholstery,
and other fabric items that are difficult or unable to be ironed.
