WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances.

• Read all instructions before using the steamer.
• Use the appliance only for its intended household use.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the steamer in water or other liquids.
• Always turn off and unplug the steamer from the electrical outlet before filling or emptying water, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the steamer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull or carry by cord.

4. Setup

1. Fill the Water Tank: Ensure the steamer is unplugged. Remove the water tank from the base of the steamer. Open the fill cap and fill the tank with distilled or demineralized water. Do not overfill. Close the cap securely and reinsert the tank into the steamer until it clicks into place. The large removable water tank allows for fewer refills during use.
2. Attach Accessories (Optional): If desired, attach either the delicates bonnet or the bristle brush to the steamer head. Align the attachment with the steamer head and press firmly until it is securely in place.
3. Plug In: Plug the steamer into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the steamer is heating up.
4. Heat-Up Time: The steamer heats up quickly, typically in just 30 seconds, and will be ready to produce steam.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Garment: Hang the garment on a hanger. For best results, hold the fabric taut with one hand while steaming with the other.
2. Begin Steaming: Once the steamer is heated (indicator light may change or stop blinking), press the steam trigger to release steam. Move the steamer head slowly over the fabric, allowing the steam to penetrate and relax the fibers. The steamer provides up to 10 minutes of continuous steam.
3. Using Attachments:
   • Bristle Brush: Use this attachment for heavier fabrics like coats or upholstery to help open the weave for deeper steam penetration and to remove lint.
   • Delicates Bonnet: This attachment provides a protective layer for delicate fabrics, preventing water spots and ensuring gentle steaming.
4. Maneuvering: The long swivel cord allows for easy maneuvering around garments and furniture, providing flexibility and reach.
5. Fabric Compatibility: The steamer is safe for all fabric types, including cotton, wool, silk, and synthetics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
6. Finish Steaming: When finished, release the steam trigger and unplug the steamer from the outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before storing.

6. Maintenance and Care

1. Empty Water Tank: After each use, ensure the steamer is unplugged and cool. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents mineral buildup and prolongs the life of the appliance.
2. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the steamer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
3. Storage: Store the steamer in a cool, dry place. Ensure the cord is not tightly wrapped around the unit to prevent damage. The compact design makes it easy to store or pack for travel.
