Jack & Rose Portable Garment Steamer User Manual

1. Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before using the Jack & Rose Portable Garment Steamer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Electrical Safety:
  • Ensure the voltage of your power outlet matches the product's dual voltage range (100-240V). The steamer automatically adapts to the local voltage.
  • Do not immerse the steamer, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
  • Always unplug the steamer from the power outlet when filling or emptying the water tank, and when not in use.
  • Do not operate the steamer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• Steam and Heat Safety:
  • The ceramic heating plate and steam nozzle become very hot during use. Avoid direct contact with skin.
  • Always direct steam away from yourself and others.
  • Do not steam clothes while wearing them.
  • Allow the steamer to cool completely before storing.
• Water Tank:
  • Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup and extend the life of the steamer. Tap water may be used but could lead to mineral deposits over time.
  • Do not overfill the water tank.
  • Do not add perfumes, vinegar, starch, or other chemical products to the water tank, as this may damage the appliance or cause spitting.
• General Precautions:
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Use the steamer on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Do not leave the steamer unattended while it is plugged in or operating.

4.2. Selecting Steaming Modes

The steamer features three distinct modes for various garment care needs:

Figure 4.1: The steamer's three modes (Low, High, Dry) are illustrated with examples of suitable fabrics like silk, cotton, polyester, lace, linen, and wool.

• Low Steam Mode: Ideal for delicate fabrics such as silk, lace, and synthetics. Provides a gentle steam flow.
• High Steam Mode: Suitable for heavier fabrics like cotton, linen, and denim. Delivers a powerful steam output (22-24 g/min).
• Dry Ironing Mode: For pressing collars, cuffs, and achieving crisp finishes without steam. The ceramic plate heats up to 120°C.

Press the Mode button repeatedly to cycle through these options. The LED display will indicate the currently selected mode.

4.3. Steaming Techniques

• Vertical Steaming: Hang the garment on a hanger. Hold the steamer upright and gently press the ceramic plate against the fabric, moving it slowly downwards.
• Horizontal Ironing: For more stubborn wrinkles or for precise pressing, place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Use the steamer like a traditional iron, applying gentle pressure.
• Fabric Compatibility: The steamer is versatile and can be used on a wide range of fabrics including silk, cotton, denim, linen, wool, and polyester. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

4.4. Ceramic Heating Plate

The steamer features a 10-square-inch ceramic heating plate, designed for smooth gliding and efficient heat distribution. This advanced plate ensures gentle contact with fabrics while effectively removing wrinkles.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steamer.

1. Emptying the Water Tank: After each use, ensure the steamer is unplugged and cooled down. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents mineral buildup and bacterial growth.
2. Cleaning the Ceramic Plate:
   • With the steamer unplugged and completely cool, wipe the ceramic heating plate with a soft, damp cloth.
   • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
   • For stubborn residue, a mild detergent can be used, but ensure it is thoroughly wiped off.
3. Descaling (if necessary): If you notice reduced steam output or white mineral deposits, descaling may be required.
   • Mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% distilled water.
   • Fill the water tank with this solution.
   • Plug in the steamer and allow it to heat up.
   • Steam the solution until the tank is empty (do this in a well-ventilated area, away from fabrics).
   • Repeat the process with plain distilled water to rinse out any vinegar residue.
4. Storage: Ensure the steamer is completely cool and dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or the provided storage bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
