area to be steamed, pumping the steam button on
the handle up and down to release steam. When
steaming, touch material lightly with steam plate or

to maintain a consistent flow of steam. It is important
that you make contact with the garment and/or fabric
you are steaming.

more water without exceeding the maximum amount
of about 3 oz. Re-insert water tank plug securely
and resume use.
DO NOT ALLOW THE WATER
TANK TO RUN ON DRY WHILE STEAMING, AS
THIS COULD DAMAGE YOUR STEAMER.
When steaming, your steamer’s power indicator light

will repeatedly go off and on. This is a normal part
of its functioning as it constantly adjusts itself to the
optimal temperature.
