Im portant: Heat concentrates the elem ents contained in water during
evaporation. The types of water listed hereafter m ay contain organic
waste, m ineral or chem ical elem ents that can cause spitting, brown
staining, or prem ature wear of the appliance: water from clothes
dryers, scented or softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries,
air conditioners, rain water, boiled, filtered or bottled water. Also use
distilled or dem ineralized water only as advised above.
Use
• Plug in your steam er. Place your steam er on the floor
with the steam vents pointing away from the door.
• The steam head should be hung on the door hook while
unit is heating up.
• Press on the On / Off switch, the power indicator light
will illum inate once steam er is turned on.
• Wait for the steam to com e out. It will take
approxim ately 21/2 m inutes.
• Rem ove the steam er head and place
your garm ent onto the hanger head.
• Grasp the steam head handle with the steam vents
pointing away from you. Start steam ing by touching
m aterial lightly with steam ing head and m oving in an
up/down vertical m otion. Begin at the top of the garm ent
and m ove in a downward direction. Steam with hose in an upright
position, this allows any condensation to flow back into the steam er.
Tips: Always check fabric labels for recom m endations. Test fabric
for color fastness in an unobtrusive part of the garm ent (inner
seam ). Do not touch silk or velvet with steam head. Som e articles
can be steam ed better from the underside.
If steam ing in a low position near floor, straighten hose up and out
frequently to clear condensation. If hose becom es clogged, it will
m ake a gurgling noise or the am ount of steam will be reduced.
You m ay also experience dripping if the hose becom es clogged.
Heavier fabrics m ay require repeated steam ing. Exercise caution at
all tim es.
• During operation, the steam er hose m ay m ake a gurgling noise. This is
a norm al result of condensation. If it begins to gurgle, extend hose up
and out to m ove excess m oisture back into the base.

caution and avoid prolonged contact.
Accessories (depending on m odel)
Never touch the steam head until it cools com pletely.
Before using any of the accessories on upholstery or garm ents, be sure to
consult the m anufacturer’s labels regarding their recom m endations for
garm ent care. We also recom m end testing on an unobtrusive area.
Rem inder: When using accessories steam only in an up and down
vertical m otion. Never use the steam head in a horizontal position
and never steam with your steam head upside down.
Upholstery brush*
Be sure unit is unplugged and com pletely cool before attaching
accessories.
The upholstery brush is used to aid steam penetration into
difficult or heavy fabrics for faster results.

the bottom of the brush with the bottom of the steam head.
Gently push the top of the brush into place on the steam
head until it clicks into place.

head so it fits over the raised channels.
• Gently push into place.
• Push on the handle to open the crease attachm ent.
• Put your fabric in the space between the crease attachm ent and the
head of the steam brush.
• Release the handle.
• Move the crease attachm ent in a downwards m otion starting from the
top.
• Once unit is unplugged and com pletely cool, rem ove the crease
attachm ent by sliding it off of the steam brush.
Lint pad*
The lint pad is a separate accessory and cannot be attached to the
steam head. You can use the lint pad independently from the steam er.
The lint pad rem oves hair, lint and anim al fur for a professional finish.
• To use the lint pad, slowly brush the clothing with the grain or nap of
the fabric.
• The pad can be cleaned by brushing in the opposite direction. We
recom m end cleaning on an old cloth that can be discarded.
