Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the steamer base, rod set, and hose assembly.
- Assemble the Steamer: The J-4000 requires assembly. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the full owner's manual for proper assembly of the rod set and hose to the steamer base.

Operating Instructions
- Power On: Turn the steamer on using the power switch located on the unit. The steamer will reach its standby temperature within 15 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
