• Do not touch the steam head during use.
When using the garment steamer, make sure
the steamer head is facing away from you
and in an upright position.
• Always test the garment steamer on a small
discreet part of the fabric to be steamed to
ensure the temperature is not too high for
the fabric.
• To prevent damage to the garment steamer
do not use alkaline cleaning agents when

• The garment steamer generates high
temperature steam. Do not touch the steam
head during use. When using the garment
steamer, make sure the steamer head is facing
away from you and in an upright position.
• The garment steamer incorporates a thermal
safety fuse to protect the garment steamer
from over-heating. However the garment
steamer should not be left unattended while
it is connected to the power outlet. Special
care should always be taken when there
are children in the home/vicinity of the
garment steamer.
• Do not fill the water tank past the MAX
indicator line as this may cause the water
to leak.
• There may be leakage from the steam head if
the garment steamer temperature is not high
enough to vaporize water and create steam.
Therefore, ensure that the garment steamer is
always preheated for 2–3 minutes prior to use.
