Operating Instructions
- Prepare the Garment: Ensure the garment is clean and damp (not dripping wet). For best results, garments should be spin-dried in a washing machine.
- Place Garment on Mannequin: Carefully place the shirt, blouse, t-shirt, or sweater onto the mannequin. Use the side zippers to adjust the mannequin's size to fit the garment snugly but without stretching it excessively. Button up the shirt or close any fasteners.
- Secure with Clips/Weights: Attach the provided clips/weights to the bottom hem of the garment to keep it taut and prevent creasing during the drying and ironing process.
- Set the Timer: Use the control panel to set the desired operating time. The timer can be set for up to 180 minutes. The unit will automatically stop once the set time has elapsed.
- Select Temperature/Airflow: The unit offers 4 temperature levels and 2 airflow speeds. Select the appropriate settings based on the fabric type and desired drying/ironing intensity. Refer to the garment's care label for guidance.
- Start Operation: Press the power button to start the drying and ironing cycle. The mannequin will inflate with warm air, drying and smoothing the garment.
- Completion: Once the cycle is complete, the unit will stop. Carefully remove the garment from the mannequin. It should be dry and wrinkle-free.
