Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective steaming:
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (230V). The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
- Heat-Up Time: The steam iron heats up rapidly in approximately 45 seconds. The indicator light may change or turn off once ready, depending on the model.
- Prepare Garment: Hang the garment on a hanger. For best results, gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand while steaming.
- Start Steaming:
- Hold the steam iron upright, ensuring the steam head is facing away from you.
- Press the steam trigger to release steam. For continuous steam, push the steam trigger lock into position.
- Move the steam head slowly over the fabric, from top to bottom, allowing the steam to penetrate and relax the fibers.
- Vertical and Horizontal Steaming: This appliance supports both vertical steaming for hanging garments and horizontal steaming for items on a flat surface, offering flexibility.
- After Use: When finished, release the steam trigger (if locked) and unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Allow the unit to cool down completely before emptying the water tank and storing.
