How to use

Fill the water tank according to the markings, secure the tank and plug the device into a suitable mains outlet. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the steamer to reach operating temperature. Hold the steamer upright and apply steam to the garment or fabric from a short distance, moving the steamer slowly along the fabric until wrinkles are reduced.

After use, switch off and unplug the steamer, allow it to cool before emptying any remaining water and folding the handle for storage.

Recommendations

Use distilled or demineralized water to reduce limescale buildup if you live in a hard-water area, avoid prolonged continuous steaming beyond the manufacturer’s guidance to prevent overheating, and test the steamer on a small inconspicuous area for delicate fabrics. Store the steamer with the tank empty and cool to maintain performance and safety. Follow the provided 24-month warranty and maintenance instructions from the manufacturer.
