2. Filling the Water Tank
Locate the removable 80-ounce water tank on the main unit. Lift the tank using its handle. Unscrew the cap at the bottom of the tank and fill it with distilled water. Avoid using tap water to prevent mineral buildup, which can affect performance and longevity. Securely replace the cap and reinsert the water tank into the main unit, ensuring it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions
1. Powering On and Heating Up
Plug the steamer into a standard electrical outlet. Locate the ON/OFF/PAUSE switch at the back of the unit. Flip the switch to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the unit is heating up. The steamer takes approximately 35 to 45 seconds to reach optimal steaming temperature.
2. Steaming Garments
Hang the garment you wish to steam on the 360-degree rotating hanger. For pants, utilize the convenient clips on the hanger. Hold the T-nozzle and gently glide it over the fabric, moving from top to bottom. The continuous steam will relax wrinkles and refresh the fabric. For stubborn wrinkles, hold the nozzle closer to the fabric, but do not press directly against it.

3. Using the Pause Function
If you need to temporarily stop steaming without turning off the unit, flip the switch to the "PAUSE" position. This will maintain the heating temperature, allowing for quick resumption of steaming.
Maintenance
1. Draining Water Tank
After each use, or when the water level is low, turn off the steamer and unplug it. Allow the unit to cool completely. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents mineral buildup and prolongs the life of the steamer.
2. Cleaning
Periodically clean the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For mineral buildup in the water tank or internal components, consult the full user manual for descaling instructions.
3. Storage
For compact storage, the telescoping pole can be collapsed. The hose can be wrapped around the unit using the integrated cord wrap storage feature. Ensure the water tank is empty before storing.
