Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Turn the steamer on using the power switch located on the unit. The steamer will reach its standby temperature within 15 minutes.
2. Prepare Garment: Hang the garment or fabric you wish to steam on a hanger. The steamer's design allows for convenient hanging of items directly on the unit's pole.
3. Begin Steaming: Once steam begins to emit from the plastic steam head, gently glide the steam head over the fabric. Move the steam head in an up-and-down motion, allowing the steam to relax the fibers and remove wrinkles.
