IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are
present, basic safety instructions should always be followes,
including the following:
Polythene bags over product or package may be dangerous. To avoid
danger of suffocation, keep this wrapper away from babies and
children. This bag is not a toy.
DANGER: When the unit is used in a bathroom, unplug it
after use since the proximity of water
presents a hazard even when the unit is switched off.
WARNING: Do not use this appliance in or near bathtubs,
showers, basins, or other vessels containing water.
• Do not immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately.
• Take care to avoid contact between the hot surfaces of the unit
and the skin, paying particular attention to the face, neck and
hands.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the appliance when not in use or before
cleaning. Do not leave unattended when plugged in or switched on.
Do not place on any heat-sensitive surface and always allow to cool
before storing away.
• Do not use any attachments other than those supplied by Conair
Australia Pty Ltd.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this
instruction booklet.
• This appliance is not intended for commercial use.
• Never drop or insert any object into an opening or hose.
• Do not use if unit has been dropped or damaged.
• Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are
being used or where oxygen is being administered.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Never yank the cord to disconnect from the power outlet, instead
grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged,
or dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance.
Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
• After use do not wrap the cord around the appliance as in time
this may cause the cord to fracture. Coil cord loosely around the
appliance in storage.
• While it is not recommended, if an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, a 15 amp rated power cord should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the power cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Always ensure that the voltage to be used corresponds to the
voltage marked on the unit.
• For additional protection, the installation of a residual device (RCD)
with a rated operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable in
the electrical current supplying the bathroom and other parts of
the home. Ask your installer for advice.
CAUTION:
• Do not operate steamer without correctly filling the water
container.
• Do not overfill the steamer, since it can cause hot water to boil out
and burn.
• Never pour water directly into the reservoir. Put water only in
water tank.
• Only use clean cold water for filling this appliance. In hard water
areas, we recommend the use of distilled water.
• Always keep the hose and nozzle elevated above the water
container.
• Before unit is turned on, the hose must be extended, and then
place it in the hook.
• Do not place the steam nozzle directly onto any surface or on the
appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
• Use caution when changing the attachments, as they may have
hot water or condensation on them from the nozzle. Attachments
should never be placed on the nozzle when in use or preheating.
Always ensure the steamer is switched off and the nozzle has
cooled down before changing the attachments.
• Attachments may get hot during use. Allow them to cool before
storing.
• When emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used
too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce
the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents,
test appliance before use by holding it away from the body.
• Do not steam garments while on a person.
• Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or
steam. Use care when you turn steam appliance upside down
– there may be hot water in the reservoir.
• Use caution when carrying steamer, as it contains hot water.
• Hose will be hot when in use. Avoid prolonged contact to avoid
burns.

Assembling the Telescopic Pole, Pant Clip System and 360°
Rotatable Hanger
Step.1 Unscrew existing grooved connector from the base of the
steamer (Fig.A) and place aside.
Step.2 Insert telescopic pole (1.) (with open hole facing down) into
receptacle in base of the steamer (Fig.B). Slide the pole into the
base of the steamer and twist into place, and then push the
pole down as far as it can go, until it clicks into place.
Step.3 Slide grooved connector back onto the steamer by sliding over
the top of the pole.
NB - the larger circle of the grooved connector should be facing
down.
Slide to the bottom of the pole and then screw tightly into
place (Fig C).

Step.4 Take the metal rod with pant clip system (3.) and unscrew the
grooved connector. Place grooved connector aside. (Fig.D)
Step.5 Place the metal rod with pant clip system over the top of the
pole on the garment steamer.
NB - The pant clips on the metal rod should be at the back of
the garment steamer.
Slide the metal rod down the pole until it is positioned in the
middle (Fig.E).
Step.6 Place the grooved connector over the top of the pole, holding
the metal rod in place.
NB - The larger circle of the grooved connector should be facing
down.
Slide the grooved connector down onto the pole and over the
top of the plastic. Tightly screw the grooved connector in place,
while still holding the metal rod. This will secure the metal rod
with pant clip system to the pole. (Fig.F.)

Step.7 Insert the round plastic connector/storage hook (5.) onto the
top of the pole on the garment steamer. (Fig.G)
NB – The round hook should be facing the front of the garment
steamer.
Push the round plastic connector down the pole until it cannot
be pushed down any further.
Step.8 Take the extendable telescopic pole (2.) and unclip the black
plastic clip (Fig.H). Extend the pole as far as required and secure
desired height by closing the black plastic clip. (Fig.I)
Step.9 Place the extendable telescopic pole (with open hole facing
down) into the top of the round plastic connector already on
the garment steamer. Align the pole and then lightly push
down into place. (Fig.J)
