FABRIC STEAMING
CAUTION: When steaming any material for the first time, it is recommended that you test
on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on synthetic fabrics such as
100% nylon or polyester, or other steam-sensitive materials.
NOTE: Be sure the Boiler has already been filled before following these steps (refer to
Page 6 for details).
1.
Plug power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
2.
After approximately 2 minutes, steam will begin emitting from Steam Nozzle.
3.
Direct Steam Nozzle towards fabric material you wish to steam. See below for additional tips
and procedures.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle is pointed in a safe direction (away from
yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.
Steaming garments:
•
Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.
•
Direct Steam Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside
of material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Steam Nozzle upward from bottom to top
of garment.
•
Direct Steam Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free hand.
•
Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.
General steaming tips:
•
For most effective results, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2” of fabrics, or press it directly
against surfaces.
•
Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
•
To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or
towel rack and gently steam them.
•
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
•
To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
•
Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by heat or
water spotting.
•
To sanitize a fabric, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2 inch of a single area for at least 5
seconds. Use caution when doing this on more delicate fabrics.
When you are finished using your Compact Fabric Steamer, immediately unplug power cord
from electrical outlet. Refer to
Storage & Care
guidelines on Page 8 of this manual for proper
storage and maintenance procedures.
