Frame Usage
Lint Frame
Garment Care Label: For any garments that call for medium
to high heat and allow for use of steam.
Tip: Frame helps remove lint, hair, and animal fur.
Delicate Frame
Garment Care Label: For any garments that call for low heat
and allow for use of steam.
Tip: For items with embellishment, turn the garment
inside out to better remove wrinkles and avoid damage to
sensitive areas.
Upholstery Frame
Upholstered Fabrics: Great for deodorizing and refreshing
bedding, mattresses, curtains, plush toys, furniture, and
hard surfaces (such as counters or desks that are not heat
sensitive).
Tip: Always test for colorfastness and heat sensitivity on an
inconspicuous area.
FILLING
You may use the steam iron with tap-water, however if you live in a hard
water area, you should use distilled water (not chemically descaled or
softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check it is marked as suitable for use in irons.
• Place the steamer on its base on a stable surface.
• Hold the handle to stabilise and pull out the removable water tank with
the other hand. (c)
• Gently pull out the rubber water tank cover at the top of the tank. (D)
•
Using a clean measuring cup, pour water into opening until water
reaches the “MAX” level mark on the top of the tank. (E)
•
Do not overfill. Close the rubber cover securely.
• Fill slowly, to let the air in the tank escape, otherwise you will cause an
air lock and the water may overflow.
