5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Steaming Guidelines

• Always test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first.
• Hold the fabric taut with one hand while steaming with the other.
• Move the steam head slowly over the fabric, allowing the steam to penetrate.
• For best results, steam vertically.

5.2 Wrinkle Removal (Smoothing)

The Pure Tex's unique heated soleplate technology and powerful steam output (up to 30 g/min continuous steam, with an exclusive pressing effect up to 90 g/min) efficiently remove wrinkles.

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the appliance is heated.
2. Hold the steamer vertically and gently press the steam trigger.
3. Glide the steam head over the wrinkled areas of your garment.
4. For stubborn wrinkles, apply the pressing effect by pressing the dedicated button (if available on your model) or by pressing the steam head more firmly against the fabric.

5.3 Sterilization and Odor Removal

The powerful steam eliminates odors and kills up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and germs on textiles.

1. Hold the steamer close to the fabric surface.
2. Move the steam head slowly and evenly over the area you wish to sterilize or deodorize.
3. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.

5.4 Cleaning (Lint and Dust Removal)

Attach the cleaning pad to remove lint, hair, and dust from your textiles.

1. Attach the microfiber cleaning pad to the steam head.
2. Without activating steam, gently brush the fabric surface with the pad to collect debris.
3. Periodically remove and clean the pad as it collects lint.

5.5 Fragrancing

Use the MonParfum pad to add your favorite scent to your textiles.

1. Apply a few drops of your chosen fragrance to the MonParfum pad.
2. Attach the fragrance pad to the steam head.
3. Steam your textiles as usual. The steam will help diffuse the fragrance.
