6. When you are finished with your steaming session place the On/Off switch in the Off position
and remove the plug from the outlet.
NOTE:
Be cautious when handling until steamer has fully cooled.
Using Attachments
NOTE:
When installing or changing attachments, be sure the unit is off, unplugged, and no
steam is being released to avoid contact with hot water.
1.
Fabric Brush
Helps open the fabric for greater steam penetration.
- Attach the fabric brush onto the steam nozzle (Fig. 3).
- Move the fabric brush in a downward motion from top to bottom gently brushing the fabric.
2.
Crease Tool
Helps create a straight crease
- Attach the crease tool to the steam nozzle (Fig. 5).
- Push the trigger to open the crease tool.
- Place the garment between the crease tool and steam nozzle.
- Release the trigger.
- Move the crease tool in a downward motion from top to bottom to set a crease.
3.
Travel Lint Roller
Helps remove light lint from clothing
- Remove protective sheet from lint roller.
- Roll sticky surface of lint roller over area of lint on clothing.
- Pull off used outer sheet and tear at perforation to expose new sticky surface.
- Replace protective sheet to preserve sticky surface for next use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Be sure the steamer is turned off and unplugged.
2. Allow the steamer to cool for at least 30 minutes.
3. Empty any excess water from the water tank and allow it to air dry before replacing the cap
and setting it back in the unit.
4. Empty excess water from the reservoir by tipping unit over a sink.
Storing
1. Open the 3 clips (Fig. 2) on the telescopic pole and glide it slowly to
collapse being careful not to pinch your fingers. When it is all the way down
close the 3 clips back into place.
2. Coil the hose and place on the hanger attachment (Fig. 9)
3. Store in a cool, dry place.
Removing Mineral Buildup
One common problem with steamers is mineral buildup caused by the high mineral content
in many municipal water supplies. Mineral residue inside of the internal pipes and heater can
cause intermittent steaming or in severe cases no steaming at all.
The best way to avoid this is to use de-mineralized or distilled water in the unit. The procedure
below can be used to clear mineral buildup. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or distilled
water we recommend you use this procedure every 30 hours of operation to help avoid mineral
buildup.
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord.
2. Unscrew and remove the hose from the hose connector on the top of the unit.
3. Remove the pole from the unit.
4. Remove the water tank from the main unit and drain any water in the unit over a sink.
5. Make a mixture of 4 oz. white vinegar and 4 oz. water. In most cases 1 cup of this mixture will
be sufficient.
6. Slowly pour the water-vinegar mixture into the hose connector (Fig. 11).
a. If the internal piping is only partially blocked by mineral buildup, the water-vinegar mixture
will soon start flowing out of the water intake hole. If this happens proceed to step 8.
b. If the internal piping is completely blocked, continue to pour the mixture into the hose
connector until full.
7. Pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water intake hole until full.
8. Let stand for 40 minutes.
9. Drain the water-vinegar mixture from hose connector or the reservoir by tipping the unit over a
sink.
Pour clean water through the hose connector and water intake hole until the vinegar smell
dissipates.
Drain the residual water from hose connector or the reservoir by tipping the unit over a sink.
Reassemble the unit and operate normally.
If the procedure above does not return the unit to normal operation, the unit may need servicing.
