4. Setup Instructions
4.1 Assembling the Main Unit and Rods
- Insert the two lower rods firmly into the designated slots on the main unit. Ensure they are securely seated to prevent shaking.
- Insert the telescopic rods into the lower rods. Press firmly until they are fully inserted.
- Adjust the height of the telescopic rods by loosening the adjustment knob, extending the rod, and then tightening the knob. A good starting point is approximately 10 cm (4 inches) extension.
- Assemble the top hanger by connecting the two parts.
- Position the assembled hanger onto the telescopic rods by lowering it into the holes at the top.

4.2 Attaching the Shirt Balloon
- Carefully pull the shirt balloon down over the entire rod and hanger setup.
- Position the elastic band at the bottom of the shirt balloon over the black edge of the main unit, ensuring a complete seal around its circumference.
- Adjust the size of the shirt balloon using the four zippers (two on each side). Opening the zippers widens the balloon, increasing the tension on the garment for better wrinkle removal. Experiment to find the optimal fit for your specific garment size.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 For Shirts and Blouses
- Ensure the garment is damp. For best results, use a shirt fresh from the washer or thoroughly sprayed with water. Dry shirts will not yield effective wrinkle removal.
- Place the damp shirt over the shirt balloon, ensuring the collar is properly aligned and the sleeves are straightened.
- Attach the four provided weights to the bottom hem of the shirt to keep it pulled down and stretched during the drying process. Ensure front and back weights are used.
- Select the desired temperature setting. For ironing, use the 160°F setting. For gentle drying only, use lower temperatures.
- Set the timer (recommended 8-15 minutes, depending on fabric thickness and moisture level).
- Press the start button. The machine will inflate the shirt balloon and begin the hot air drying and smoothing process.
