Operating Instructions

Your Dovety steamer offers flexible steaming and ironing options:

1. Activate Steam: Once preheated, press the steam button to release steam. The steamer delivers powerful 212°F (100°C) high-temperature steam.
2. Select Steam Mode: The steamer features 3 steam modes (Low, Medium, High) to suit different fabric types. Press the steam button repeatedly to cycle through the modes. Adjust the steam intensity based on the fabric's delicacy and wrinkle severity.
3. Vertical Steaming: For hanging garments, hold the steamer vertically, keeping the steaming plate a few inches from the fabric. Move the steamer slowly downwards over the wrinkles. This method is ideal for delicate fabrics, drapes, and quick touch-ups.
4. Horizontal Ironing: For a more pressed finish, lay the garment flat on a heat-resistant surface. The 90° rotating steam head allows you to use the steamer like a traditional iron. Gently press the steaming plate onto the fabric and move it across the surface.
5. Fabric Compatibility: This steamer is suitable for a wide range of fabrics including silk, lace, organza, cotton, linen, nylon, denim, and wool. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Maintenance and Care

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

• Empty Water Tank: After each use, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool completely. Detach the water tank and empty any remaining water.
• Clean Steaming Plate: Wipe the steaming plate with a soft, damp cloth to remove any residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Descaling (Monthly): If you notice reduced steam output or mineral buildup, mix equal parts white vinegar and distilled water in the tank. Heat the steamer and allow it to steam for a few minutes. Then, unplug and let it cool. Repeat with clean distilled water to rinse.
• Storage: Once completely cool and dry, store the steamer in its provided storage bag or on its heat insulated base in a cool, dry place.
