SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially
when children are present, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be taken, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
DANGER -
Any appliance is electrically
live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
1.
Always unplug appliance immediately
after using.
2. Do not place or store appliance where it can
fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
3. Do not place in, or drop into water or other
liquids.
4. If an appliance falls into water, unplug it
immediately.
Do not reach into the water.
WARNING -
To reduce the risk of burns,
electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1.
This appliance should never be left un-
attended when plugged in.
2. Close supervision is necessary when
this appliance is used by, on, or near chil-
dren or individuals with certain disabilities.
Unsupervised use could result in fire or per-
sonal injury.
3. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use attach-
ments not recommended by the manufacturer.
4.
Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not work-
ing properly, or if it has been dropped or
damaged, or dropped into water. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect
reassembly or repair could cause a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when the appliance is used. Return the
appliance to an authorized service center
for examination and repair.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.
Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around appliance when storing.
6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
7. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
8. Do not use outdoors or operate where aero-
sol (spray) products are being used or where
oxygen is being administered.
9. Do not use an extension cord to operate
appliance.
10. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot
when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch
eyes or skin.
11. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on
any surface or on the appliance power cord
while it is hot or plugged in.
12. Unplug this appliance before filling or
emptying. Do not overfill.
13. Do not operate steamer without properly
filling the water container.
14. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
15. Burns could occur from touching hot parts,
hot water, or steam. Use care when removing
water reservoir or when you turn a steam
appliance upside down – there may be hot
water in reservoir. Always position steamer
head away from you and any other person
when turning on.
16. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
17. When installing or removing attachments,
please be sure the unit is off and no steam is
being released to avoid contact with hot water.
18. Use caution when installing or removing
an attachment as it may contain hot water
from condensation. Ensure that the attach-
ment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with
hot water.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
2. The power light will light up (red). Allow
one or two minutes for the unit to warm up.
The appliance is ready to use when the ready
light goes on (green).
3. Holding the steam jets away from you and
anyone else in the room, engage the trig-
ger. Steam should now be released from the
steam jets. To have continuous steam, just
move switch down so you will have continu-
ous steam without having to hold the trigger.
Always have steam facing away from you
or anyone in the room.
4. When first using the device, test on an old
cloth, as there may be sediment left from the
manufacturing process or transportation.
5. On the back of the steamer there is a
sliding switch for high and low settings. High
is for heavier and badly wrinkled fabric and
provides faster, hotter, less visible steam.
Low setting should be used for delicate fabrics
like silk, in combination with soft cushion brush
attachment.
6. To stop the flow of steam, release the
trigger or lower the switch.
7. Unplug the device when it is not in use.
STEAMING TIPS
1. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush
it with the soft cushion brush attachment. This
will loosen the fibers and allow better steam
penetration.
2. Hang your garment or fabric.
3. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric
where the wrinkles are. It may take a few
passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
4. After use, unplug steamer and empty any
remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
5.
CAUTION: When hanging garment on
a door while steaming, be careful not to
damage the door with steam
