Operating Instructions
Once the steamer is heated and ready, you can begin steaming your garments:
- Prepare Garment: Hang the garment on a hanger or lay it flat on a clean, heat-resistant surface.
- Apply Steam: Hold the steamer upright, ensuring the steam nozzle is facing away from you. Gently glide the steamer over the fabric, allowing the steam to penetrate and relax the fibers. For stubborn wrinkles, use the fabric brush attachment.
- Vertical and Horizontal Steaming: The electromagnetic pump technology allows for steaming garments both vertically while hanging and horizontally on a flat surface without water leakage.
- Continuous Steaming: The steamer provides approximately 10 minutes of continuous steam per full water tank. Refill as needed.
- Finishing: After steaming, allow the garment to cool and dry completely before wearing or storing.
