Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Please observe the following:
- The device features sensitive precision control, allowing steam to start and stop instantly. This design prevents burns by avoiding prolonged waiting times for steam to dissipate.
- The steam operates at approximately 75°C (167°F) constant temperature, which is harmless to most fabrics and protects them from fading or damage.
- Avoid direct contact with steam during operation.
- Ensure the unit is unplugged before performing any maintenance or when not in use.
