- Connect the Steam Hose: Securely attach the steam hose to the steam outlet on the main unit. Then, connect the steam nozzle to the other end of the hose.
- Fill the Water Tank: Remove the detachable water tank from the main unit. Open the cap and fill it with clean, distilled, or demineralized water. Do not overfill. Close the cap securely and place the water tank back into the main unit.
- Position the Steamer: Place the assembled steamer on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is enough space around the unit for safe operation.
6. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The Power On/Off Indicator light will illuminate.
- Select Steam Level: Turn the Steam Control Knob to your desired steam output level (2 steam levels available).
- Heat-Up: The steamer will begin to heat up. This typically takes approximately 45 seconds. Once ready, steam will start to emit from the nozzle.
- Prepare Garment: Hang the garment on the provided hanger. For best results, ensure the fabric is taut.
- Begin Steaming: Hold the steam nozzle a few inches away from the fabric. Move the nozzle slowly and evenly over the garment, from top to bottom. For stubborn wrinkles, gently press the nozzle against the fabric.
- Use Fabric Brush: Attach the fabric brush to the steam nozzle for deeper penetration on heavier fabrics or to remove lint.
- Continuous Steaming: The 1.4L water tank allows for continuous steaming for up to 45 minutes on a full tank.
- Finish Steaming: Once done, turn the Steam Control Knob to the 'OFF' position and unplug the appliance from the power outlet. Allow the garment to cool and dry before wearing or storing.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your steamer.
- Empty Water Tank: After each use, allow the steamer to cool completely. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
- Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the main unit and accessories with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Descaling (Monthly): To prevent mineral buildup, especially if using tap water (though distilled water is recommended), descale the unit monthly. Fill the water tank with a mixture of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Run the steamer until half the solution is used, then turn off and let it sit for 30 minutes. Run the remaining solution through, then rinse the tank and run two full tanks of clean water through the unit to flush out any vinegar residue.
- Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the water tank is empty before storage.
