- Connect Steam Hose: Connect the steam hose to the steam outlet on the base unit. Twist to lock it in position.
- Fill Water Tank: Remove the 3-liter water tank from the base. Unscrew the cap and fill the tank with distilled water. Do not use tap water as it can lead to mineral buildup and damage the unit. Replace and tighten the cap. Insert the filled water tank back into the base unit.

Operating Instructions
Operating your SALAV Garment Steamer is straightforward:
- Power On: Plug the steamer into a standard 120V AC outlet. Press the foot pedal power control to turn the unit on. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Heat Up: Allow approximately 45-50 seconds for the steamer to heat up and produce continuous steam.
- Hang Garment: Hang the garment you wish to steam on the multifunctional hanger. Use the integrated clips for pants or skirts if needed.
- Steam Garment: Hold the steam nozzle a few inches away from the fabric. Move the nozzle up and down over the wrinkles. For stubborn wrinkles, gently press the nozzle against the fabric. Always keep the hose extended upwards during use to prevent kinks and ensure proper steam flow.
- Using Attachments: The included fabric brush and pants press attachment can be used to smooth wrinkles, sharpen creases, and remove lint or pet hair. Attach them to the steam nozzle as needed.
- Power Off: When finished, press the foot pedal power control again to turn off the unit. Unplug the steamer from the outlet.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your steamer:
- Empty Water Tank: After each use, always empty any remaining water from the tank. This prevents stagnant water and potential mineral buildup.
- Descaling: To prevent mineral buildup, especially if using non-distilled water (though distilled is highly recommended), descale your steamer regularly. Mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water. Pour it into the water tank and run the steamer until half the solution is used. Turn off, unplug, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then run the remaining solution through. Finish by running two full tanks of fresh distilled water to rinse.
- Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, store the steamer in a cool, dry place. The telescopic support bar can be collapsed, and the hose can be wrapped for compact storage. The unit features rolling wheels for easy movement.
