2. Adjust the angle (up/down) of the nozzle.

(Fig. 4)
• Adjust the nozzle while taking care not to

directly touch the steam.

How to use the steam

Move your face slightly to the left and right so
that the steam spreads evenly.

Using the steam on your nose is effective on
the T-zone.

1. Keep your face at least 25 cm away from the

steam outlet, using the supplied 25-cm
measure as a guide. (Fig. 5)

2. Position the steam outlet towards your face

slightly above your chin. (Fig. 6)

3. After use, wipe off the water (such as with a

tissue), then also apply a lotion to prepare
your face and apply an emulsion to
supplement skin oil.

Examples of the uses of
the facial ionic steamer

In addition to using the appliance on bare skin,
it can also be used in combination with facial
treatments.

Before cleansing
1. Use the appliance for about 3 minutes.

(This lifts dirt from the skin.)

2. Perform cleansing.

Apply massaging cream and use the steam
while massaging your skin.

Use the appliance after applying lotions and
face liquids.

After use

(Be sure to discard the water in the tank every
time after use.)

1. Press the power switch until a click is heard

to turn off the power and then remove the
plug from the power outlet.
• The lamp turns off.
• Be careful not to touch the steam when

pressing the switch.

• Do not operate the appliance if it contains

no water.
- Doing so will quicken the accumulation of

water scale, which may result in poor
steam discharge.

2. Leave the appliance alone to cool for at least

10 minutes.

3. Discard the water in the drain cup.
4. Pour out the water from the appliance in the

direction of the arrow as shown.
• Emptying the water in a direction other than

that indicated by the arrow may get the
switch wet, which may cause a
malfunction.

• To prevent risk of burns or scalding when

discarding the water, hold the bottom of the
appliance. (Fig. 7)

Note: When discarding the water, be careful

not to get water on the power plug and
cord.

5. Wipe off any water from the appliance.

(Fig. 3)
When using the separately available water
softener, read the supplied operating
instructions before use.
If hard water is used, the mineral content of
the water will form deposits on the inside of
the boiler of the appliance and may
obstruct the flow of steam.

• Be careful not to let water come in contact

with the nozzle, cosmetic ring, main panel,
and switch.

• Dispose any leftover water in the water

supply cup.

• Do not add water past the full mark on the

water supply cup or if water remains in the
appliance. (Check the water level and add
water only when there is no remaining
water in the appliance.)
