1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Assemble Telescopic Rod: Insert the telescopic rod into the main unit. Adjust its height as needed for your garment.
3. Attach Balloon Body/Trouser Attachment: Depending on the garment you wish to process, securely attach either the adjustable balloon body or the trouser attachment to the top of the telescopic rod.

5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable 220-240V, 50/60Hz electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective drying and ironing:

1. Prepare Garment: Ensure the garment is damp, ideally directly after washing and light spinning. If the garment is dry, lightly spray it with water.
2. Mount Garment:
   • For Shirts/Blouses: Carefully pull the shirt or blouse over the balloon body. Fasten buttons or zippers as appropriate. Smooth out any major wrinkles.
   • For Trousers: Attach the trouser attachment. Pull the trousers over the attachment, ensuring they are evenly distributed and smoothed.
3. Set Timer: Use the rotary knob on the main unit to set the desired operating time (up to 180 minutes). The LED indicator will illuminate. The appliance will begin to inflate the balloon body and generate warm air.
4. Drying and Ironing Process: The warm air will dry the garment while simultaneously smoothing out wrinkles. The duration depends on the garment material, thickness, and dampness.
5. Remove Garment: Once the timer finishes or the garment is dry and wrinkle-free, the appliance will automatically shut off. Carefully remove the garment from the balloon body or trouser attachment.

Tips for Best Results:

• For heavily wrinkled garments, ensure they are sufficiently damp.
• Adjust the balloon body size to match your garment for optimal tension.
• The appliance can also be used to refresh garments and neutralize odors.
