Operating Instructions
Steaming Garments:
The DV8613 can be used for vertical steaming or horizontal ironing. For steaming, ensure the water tank is filled and the appliance is heated.
- Hang the garment on a hanger.
- Hold the steamer upright, close to the fabric, but not touching it directly if the fabric is delicate.
- Press the steam trigger button to release steam. Move the steamer slowly over the garment, allowing the steam to relax the fibers and remove wrinkles.
- For stubborn wrinkles, gently press the soleplate against the fabric while steaming.
- Use the fabric brush attachment for thicker fabrics or to remove lint.

Ironing Garments:
For traditional ironing, use the heated soleplate on an ironing board or a heat-resistant surface.
- Place the garment flat on an ironing board.
- Adjust the temperature dial according to the fabric type.
- Glide the heated soleplate over the fabric. You can use the steam function by pressing the trigger button as needed.
- The ceramic soleplate ensures smooth, snag-free gliding.
