FILLING
You may use the steamer 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 steamers.
1. Place the steamer as shown (Fig. B). You can
also place your steamer on the heat resistant
storage bag.
2. Open the water inlet cover (Fig. C).
3. Pour slowly, to let the air in the reservoir escape, otherwise you’ll cause
an air lock and the water will overflow.

Don’t fill past the
max
marking or water will escape in use.

Ceramic heated plate
Your steamer features a ceramic heated plate that helps smooth out wrinkles and creases on the areas of
garments that are more difficult to reach with steam alone. The temperature of the plate is safe for all
ironable fabrics.
To press garments (collars, cuffs, etc.) place it on a flat, heat resistant surface. Keep the plate in contact with
the garment. Use steam as required. You can use the heat resitant bag to iron on (Fig D).
Important
: Always make sure that the surface you use to iron on will not be affected or damaged by heat
or steam!

If you haven’t used the steam trigger for approximately 8 minutes, your steamer will enter auto shut off
mode. In auto shut off mode, the blue light will flash. To restart your steamer, press and hold the steam
trigger for a few seconds until your steamer begins to steam again and the blue light stops flashing.
