5. Operating Instructions
Once the steamer is set up, follow these steps to begin steaming:
- Plug In: Insert the power plug into a grounded electrical outlet (220V, 50Hz).
- Power On: Turn on the steamer using the power switch. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the unit is heating up.
- Wait for Steam: Allow approximately 45-60 seconds for the water to heat up and steam to be generated. Steam will begin to emit from the steam head.
- Prepare Garment: Hang the garment on the provided hanger. For best results, gently pull the fabric taut with one hand while steaming with the other. Wear the protective glove to shield your hand from steam.
- Begin Steaming: Hold the steam head a few inches away from the fabric. Move the steam head slowly over the garment, from top to bottom. For stubborn wrinkles, use the brush attachment to gently brush the fabric while steaming.
- Power Off: Once steaming is complete, turn off the power switch and unplug the steamer from the outlet.
- Cool Down: Allow the steamer to cool down completely before handling or storing.
