Operating Instructions

Steaming Garments:

1. Connect to Power: Plug the steamer into a suitable electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the device is heating up.
2. Wait for Heat-up: The steamer will heat up in approximately 30 seconds. The indicator light may change color or turn off when ready for use, depending on the model.
3. Start Steaming: Hold the steamer upright and press the steam trigger/button. Direct the steam nozzle towards the garment, keeping it a few inches away from the fabric.
4. Steam Technique: Move the steamer slowly over the fabric, from top to bottom. For stubborn wrinkles, gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand.
5. Continuous Steam: If your model supports continuous steam, you may be able to lock the steam trigger in the 'on' position. Refer to the device for specific button functions.
6. Refilling During Use: If the water tank empties during steaming, the automatic shut-off feature will activate. Unplug the device, allow it to cool slightly, refill the tank as described in the Setup section, and then reconnect to power to continue.
7. Finish Steaming: Once you have finished, release the steam trigger and unplug the steamer from the power outlet.

Using the Lint Remover:

The Princess 332890 features an integrated lint remover on the steam head. This allows you to remove lint, pet hair, and small fibers from your garments while or after steaming.

1. Ensure the steamer is unplugged and cool if you are using the lint remover without steaming.
2. Gently brush the lint remover surface over the fabric in one direction to collect lint and hair.
3. Periodically clean the collected lint from the lint remover surface.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your garment steamer.

1. After Each Use:
   • Unplug the steamer and allow it to cool completely.
   • Empty any remaining water from the water tank.
   • Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Cleaning the Steam Head: If the steam head becomes clogged or dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp objects to clear the steam holes.

   • 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 (direct steam into a sink or bucket).
