READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always

be followed including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

2. Use appliance only for its intended use.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in

water or other liquids.

4. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely

before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.

5. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when ﬁlling with water

or emptying, and when not in use.

6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has

been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, contact customer service.

Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or

injury to persons when the appliance is used.

7. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam.

Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be

hot water in the reservoir.

8. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents,

check appliance before each use by holding it away from body and

operating steam button.

9. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high

wattage appliance on the same circuit.

10. Never steam clothes while someone is wearing.

11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere rated cord

should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care

should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or

tripped over.

manufacturer may cause injuries or void your warranty.

16. To avoid personal injury and damage to the appliance, only add water to

the water reservoir. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any

other chemical additives.

17. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This plug ﬁts a polarized outlet only

one way; if the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING WATER RESERVOIR

Warning: To avoid personal injury and damage to the unit, only add water

to the water reservoir. NEVER add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any

other chemical additives.

Note: Your Steamer is designed to be used with tap water. However, if you

have hard water, we recommend using distilled water for better results.

1. Place Steamer on a ﬂat surface.

2. Gently Pull the Water Resevoir in lateral direction using your hand

(Figure 1).

3. Take the water reservoir to a sink. Pull the rubberized water-ﬁll cover

to open and pour tap water from the faucet into the water-ﬁll opening

until it reaches the Max water level in water reservoir (Figure 2). If water

spills outside of the reservoir, or within the center water reservoir cavity,

wipe it dry with a paper towel or cloth.

Warning: When ﬁlling the water reservoir, watch for water that can

drip onto the ﬂoor and cause you to slip and fall.

(Figure 1)

(Figure 2)

Tip: It is not necessary to have a full reservoir of water for the Steamer

to generate steam. For best results, just make sure the water reservoir is

at least half full.

4. Close the water-ﬁll cover and reﬁt the water reservoir into the stand.

Pull on the reservoir to ensure it is fully locked in position.

Note: If you need to add water while steaming, unplug the steamer,

wait until it cools and follow the above steps. If a cloud vibrating noise

is heard, then the water level is low and needs to be reﬁlled.

You can use your Steamer in the vertical position to press with steam

hanging garments and drapes.

1. Filled the water reservoir with water. Ensure that there is sufﬁcient water

in the water reservoir.

2. Hang your garment to be steamed on a clean hanger.

3. Turn Voltage Selector Switch button to correct voltage based on the

country you are located in, and insert plug into the outlet with speciﬁed

voltage. Power indicator light will turn blue.

Warning: Incorrect voltage protection feature: if the voltage selected is

not the same as the outlet voltage, the steamer will not heat. The indicator

light with ﬂicker red & blue alternately. To reset the steamer, unplug the

power cord from the outlet & select the correct voltage then insert the plug

into the outlet.

4. Plug the steamer into a standard electrical outlet and then turn on the

power, the indicator light will turn blue and ﬂashes, then the device

enters the preheating stage. The product is not yet usable at this time.

When the indicator light ﬂashes and stops, it indicates that the device

has completed preheating (preheating time is about 20 seconds). Press

the steam button twice for a burst of steam. Hold the steam button for

3 seconds for continuous steam for 3 minutes.

Warning: Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot

be pulled or tripped over. Always make sure you can move freely

without getting tangled with the cord.

steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there

may be hot water in the reservoir.

5. With your free hand, pull the fabric tight and press the steam button as

you move the Steamer over the fabric. Touch the fabric lightly with the

non-stick panel, moving it in a downward motion, beginning at the top

of the garment and moving downward. Repeat until fabric is wrinkle-free.

better steaming effects on heavy clothing such as jackets. Use the brush

with steam by pressing the steam switch and slowly moving the bristle

along the clothing.

STEAMING TIPS

• Improper use of the Steamer can cause property damage due to the

steam. Always read the instructions in this manual before using your

Steamer.

• Do not operate the Steamer with an empty water reservoir. To add water

during operation, turn steamer off, wait for it to cool down then remove

water reservoir and reﬁll.

• Always read the fabric care labels to help determine fabric type to be

steamed. If unsure of fabric’s ﬁber, test a small hidden area, such as an

inside seam or hem, before steaming.

• For more difﬁcult wrinkles, try steaming from the underside of the fabric.

• When steaming, touching fabric lightly with the steam nozzle can help in

wrinkle removal. It is important to make contact with the garment and/or

fabric.

• Heavier fabrics require more steam.

• Only use water in the unit. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented

perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water that can cause

damage to the appliance.

• Do not use steam directly against wall or doors.

• When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to

damage the door with steam.

• After use, empty water reservoir by turning it upside down to ensure all

water empties out and avoid leaks.

• When steaming, move the steamer continuously over the item being

pressed. Do not keep steamer over an area for any period of time to

avoid damage to the fabric.
