required. One max. fill offers approx. 8-10 minutes of continuous use.
When removing the water tank, take care not to touch the steam head (B).
Your appliance was designed to operate using untreated tap water. Do not use pure demineralized or pure
distilled water, water from clothes dryers, scented or softened water, rain water, filtered, bottled or boiled
water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air conditioners as these may damage the appliance. These
types of water contain organic waste, mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause
spitting, brown staining, leaking or premature wear on your appliance. If your water is very hard, mix 50%
untreated tap water with 50% distilled water. Make sure the silicone cap is correctly closed before
attaching the handle to the main unit.
HOW TO USE
Before using, please check fabric´s label for recommendations.
We recommended that you test acrylic, nylon or other synthetic fabrics in a hidden area to ensure these
fabrics are not damaged by hot steam.
If required, secure the brush attachment (A) by clicking it into place on the steam head (B). Make sure that
the brush attachment is the right way up, and that the steam holes are not blocked. (Fig.2).
Warning: always allow the garment steamer to cool down before adding or removing the brush attachment
from the steam head.
1. Hang the garment to be steamed on a clothes hanger.
2. Place the garment steamer onto a flat, stable surface, and switch it on at the mains power supply. The
garment steamer will start to heat up once it is plugged in. The indicator light (C) will switch on in red colour
showing that the garment steamer is preheating.
3. After approximately 30 seconds of preheating, the indicator light will switch on in green colour showing
that the garment steamer has reached the required temperature.
4. To begin steaming, face the steamer against the fabric keeping a certain distance, and press the trigger
(D). You can keep the trigger continuously pressed by sliding the locking lever. Carefully steam the
garment using long, straight, downwards movements to remove any wrinkles or creases. (Fig. 6).
5. Once the garment has been steamed, release the steam trigger (D) and then switch off and unplug the
garment steamer from the mains power supply.
Important notice: you can replace the detachable water tank (E) by the included bottle adaptor (G). You
can use it with any bottle filled with tap water, which is more convenient to storage the appliance and save
space at your luggage when travelling.
Warnings:
• Never point the steam jet at garments being worn, or at people or animals.
• Do not hold the garment steamer by any other part of the unit except the handle.
• During operation, the garment steamer will get very hot. Please take maximum care.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

After use it, please remove the water tank, empty the water tank completely, and then return the water tank
to its place.
Before cleaning the garment steamer ensure it is unplugged from the power supply and has completely
cooled down.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
To clean exterior surfaces, use a damp soft cloth and wipe dry. Do not use any chemical solvents, as these
will damage the surface.
Before storing in a cool, dry place, check that the garment steamer and any accessories are cool, clean
and dry.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the garment steamer; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
