4. Setup
- Fill the Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the main unit. Open the rubber cap and fill the tank with up to 265 ml of distilled or demineralized water. Close the cap securely and reattach the tank to the steamer.
- Attach Accessories (Optional): If desired, attach the brush accessory to the steam head for use on thicker fabrics or to remove lint.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The indicator lights will illuminate, signaling that the steamer is heating up.
- Wait for Heating: The steamer will be ready for use in approximately 20 seconds when the indicator lights show a steady blue.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the steamer is heated and ready (indicator lights steady), you can begin steaming your garments.
- Steam Activation: Press and hold the steam button to release continuous steam. For continuous steam without holding the button, engage the lock feature if available on your model.
- Steaming Garments: Hang the garment on a hanger. Hold the steam head close to the fabric, moving it up and down. For best results, gently pull the fabric taut with your free hand.
- Using the Brush Accessory: When using the brush accessory, move it slowly over the fabric to allow the bristles to lift fibers and the steam to penetrate deeply, effectively removing wrinkles and refreshing the material.
- Finishing: After steaming, allow the garment to cool and dry completely before wearing or storing.
