7.5 Operation
The device is an excellent tool for removing creases and refreshing clothes
and textiles, without having to use an iron.
It is suitable for most materials. However, observe particular caution when
using it with temperature-sensitive materials, such as synthetic fabric,
polyamide, or artificial silk. It is recommended to try using the device on a
small piece of fabric, in a hidden place or on an unused clothing item.
The device is intended for operation in a vertical and horizontal position.
When ironing horizontally, pay particular attention to the tank fill level, as it
may affect the steam burst quality. If the water level is too low, the steam
burst will be limited.
1. Make sure the device is disconnected from the power source. Install the
attachment in accordance with the description in 7.4 Brush attachment
installation/removal if you are going to work with the attachment.
2. When working without the attachment, just connect the device to a power grid
grounded socket, the parameters of which comply with the ones stated for the
device in this manual or on the device.
3. Turn the device on by pressing the on/off/mode switch. The power and standby
red light indicator will start flashing.
4. When the light indicator stops flashing and stays on continuously (after approx.
30 s), the device is heated and ready for operation.
5. Press the on/off/mode switch again to start the
steam emission. The indicator will turn green, and
the device will start emitting steam.
6. If a more powerful steam burst is needed, press the
on/off/mode switch again, the indicator LED will
turn purple.
Caution!
During first use, when the device is heated, allow the
steam to be emitted freely for several minutes, without
directing it at the clothes.
