2. Hold the garment taut with one hand (using a heat protective glove) and move the steamer slowly over the fabric with the other hand.
3. For best results, ensure the fabric is pulled smoothly to allow the steam to penetrate effectively and remove wrinkles.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your steamer:

• Empty Water Tank: After each use, always empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Descaling: If you notice reduced steam output or mineral residue, descale the steamer according to the instructions provided in the full product manual (if available). Using purified water helps minimize descaling needs.
• Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• No Steam:
  • Check if the water tank is filled with water. The steamer has dry boiling protection and will not operate without sufficient water.
  • Ensure the steamer is properly plugged into a 16A power outlet.
  • Allow adequate pre-heating time (40-45 seconds).
• Steamer Turns Off Automatically:
  • This is a safety feature (overheating protection). It indicates low water level or no water in the tank. Refill the water tank.
• Water Dripping from Steam Plate:
  • Ensure the steamer has fully pre-heated before use.
  • Avoid tilting the steamer too much during vertical steaming.
