- Do not immerse the steamer, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.

- Keep the water container away from direct natural light.
- Do not operate the steamer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Always hold the steamer upright during use to prevent water leakage.

5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe steaming:
- Power On and Heat Up: Once plugged in, the steamer will begin to heat up. The indicator light will illuminate. The steamer is ready for use in approximately 45 seconds when the light changes or steam begins to emit.
- Begin Steaming: Hold the steamer upright, keeping the steam nozzle a few inches away from the fabric. Press the steam trigger to release a continuous flow of steam (25 g/min).
- Steaming Technique:
- Gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand.
- Move the steamer nozzle slowly over the wrinkled areas in a vertical motion, from top to bottom.
- For stubborn wrinkles, pass the steamer over the area multiple times.
- When using the fabric brush, gently brush against the fabric grain to lift fibers and allow steam to penetrate deeper.
- Steaming Curtains and Upholstery: The steamer can also be used to refresh curtains and upholstery. Hold the steamer upright and move it slowly over the fabric surface.
- Monitor Water Level: The transparent water tank allows you to monitor the water level. Refill as needed, ensuring the steamer is unplugged before refilling.
- Finish Steaming: Once you have finished steaming, release the steam trigger.
- Power Off: Unplug the steamer from the electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steamer.
- Empty Water Tank: After each use, ensure the steamer is unplugged and cooled down. Open the water tank cap and carefully empty any remaining water. This prevents mineral buildup and odors.
- Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- The steamer features an anti-calc system. For best results and to prevent mineral buildup, periodically rinse the water tank with clean water. If hard water is used frequently, a descaling solution designed for steamers can be used following the solution's instructions.
- Clean the steam nozzle with a cotton swab if any mineral residue is visible.
- Storage: Ensure the steamer is completely cool and dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
