6.1 Basic Steaming Procedure

1. Add Water: Ensure the water tank is filled as described in Section 5.1.
2. Power On: Plug the steamer into a suitable electrical outlet. Touch the power switch icon on the LCD display. The light will flash, indicating preheating.
3. Preheating: Wait approximately 20-30 seconds for the steamer to preheat. The light will stop flashing and remain steady when preheating is complete.
4. Select Steam Mode: Touch the steam icon on the LCD display to select your desired steam mode. The steamer offers two steam modes:
   • Mode 1 (Delicate): Suitable for most fabrics and light wrinkles.
   • Mode 2 (Turbo): Provides a more powerful steam burst for tougher wrinkles and thicker fabrics.
5. Begin Steaming: Turn the steam release lock button on the front of the garment steamer to the unlocked position to release continuous steam. Hold the steamer upright and move it slowly over the fabric, allowing the steam to penetrate.
6. Horizontal and Vertical Steaming: The steamer is designed for both vertical steaming of hanging garments and horizontal steaming on a flat surface without leaking.
7. Shut Down: After use, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The indicator light will go out, and the device will stop working. Unplug the steamer from the outlet.
