Unlock the handle by rotating the dial to the 'on' position. The power indicator light will illuminate. Select the desired temperature setting based on your fabric type (Nylon, Silk, Wool, Cotton, Linen) using the control panel. Allow the unit to heat up until the temperature indicator light signals it's ready.
Operating Instructions
- Preparing Garments: Lay the garment flat on the pressing surface, ensuring it is smooth and free of wrinkles. The extra-large pressing surface is suitable for various items like tablecloths, curtains, and dress pants.
- Pressing: Gently lower the upper pressing plate onto the garment. The unit will apply even pressure. For best results, hold the plate down for a few seconds.
- Using Steam: To activate a powerful burst of steam, press the steam button located on the handle. This is effective for stubborn wrinkles.
- Using the Pressing Cushion: For sleeves, collars, and other contoured areas, place the pressing cushion inside the garment part. This allows for precise steaming and pressing without creating new creases.
- Fusible Projects: The steam press is ideal for fusible projects, providing consistent heat and pressure for proper adhesion. Place the fusible material and fabric on the pressing surface, cover with a pressing cloth if necessary, and press.
- Auto Shut-Off: The unit features an automatic shut-off with an audible alarm. If the handle is left down for an extended period, the alarm will sound, and the unit will power off to prevent overheating and fabric damage. Lift the handle to reset the safety feature.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Pressing Surface: Allow the unit to cool completely. Wipe the pressing surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Draining the Water Tank: Regularly drain any remaining water from the tank after use to prevent mineral buildup.
- Storage: Store the steam press in a cool, dry place. The locking handle allows for easy transport and storage.
Troubleshooting
- No Steam: Ensure the water tank is filled and the unit has reached the selected temperature. Check if the steam button is being pressed correctly.
- Unit Not Heating: Verify the power cord is securely plugged in and the unit is turned on. Check the temperature setting.
- Audible Alarm Sounds: This indicates the handle has been left down for too long. Lift the handle to reset the safety feature.
