• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to
condensation. If the appliance begins to gurgle, rest the steam head on its support for a
few moments in order to direct the condensation into the appliance once again.
• During use, some water drips may appear on the telescopic pole. This is also a normal
occurrence due to condensation.

Tips for better results with your garment steamer
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recommendations before
steaming. We also recommend testing the garment and effect on the garment on an
unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
• Button up the shirt’s collar to prevent them slipping on the hanger during steaming (fig.14).
• Gently press steamer brush into fabric while making slow passes.
• Avoid direct contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Some garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed for longer.
• If you are using the steam head at a position close to the ground, raise the hose frequently in
order to avoid the formation of condensation. A gurgling noise may be heard if the flexible
hose is pinched.
• If no steam is produced, if a gurgling sound is heard or if water is dripping through the holes
of the steam head, raise the steam hose occasionally to remove condensation inside the hose.
