Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage if desired.
- Fill Water Tank: Ensure the appliance is unplugged. Open the water tank cap and fill the tank with distilled or demineralized water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill. Close the cap securely.
- Attach Accessories: If desired, attach the fabric brush or trouser crease attachment to the steam head. Ensure it clicks firmly into place.
- Position Garment: Hang the garment you wish to steam on a hanger. Ensure there is enough space around the garment for steam to dissipate.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the appliance is heating up.
- Preheating: Allow the steam brush to preheat for approximately 30-60 seconds until the indicator light changes or steam begins to emit steadily.
- Steaming: Hold the steam brush upright, keeping the steam head a few inches away from the fabric. Gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand. Move the steam brush slowly downwards over the wrinkles. For stubborn wrinkles, you may press the steam head lightly against the fabric.
- Using Attachments:
- Fabric Brush: Use for heavier fabrics like coats or upholstery. The bristles help lift fibers for deeper steam penetration and can remove lint.
- Trouser Crease Attachment: Position the attachment over the desired crease line and press gently while steaming to create a sharp crease.
- Finishing: Once steaming is complete, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance. Allow the garment to cool and dry completely before wearing or storing.
