STORING THE STEAMER
1. Check that the steamer is unplugged and completely cool.
2. Gather the cord into even ovals and then gently cinch with the strip of
hook and loop. (L)
3. Always store steamer upright on its base to prevent water leakage.
Tip: Emptying the tank after each use is recommended because standing
water can leave a residue over time.
STEAMING TIPS AND TRICKS
• This steamer is designed to use distilled, purified, or filtered water. Tap water contains
minerals that build up. Using water with perfumes or scented additives is also not
recommended.
• Always test garments by steaming a small hidden area to make sure the garment takes well to
steam.
• Always read garment care label instructions. Low heat settings require the delicate fabric
frame.
• Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, the steamer needs time to get
back up to full temperature. Just allow the steamer a minute to reheat.
• Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or steaming can actually create wrinkles. Always
allow clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after ironing or steaming to set the press.
