5. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Plug the steamer into a 120V electrical outlet. The preheat indicator light will illuminate. The steamer heats up in approximately 10 seconds.
- Steam Release: Once heated, press the steam button to release continuous steam. Release the button to stop steaming.
