FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure the unit is unplugged.
Stand the unit on a table and grasp with one hand.
Pull the reservoir out, away from the steamer body.
The rubber inlet cover is located on the top of the water reservoir.
Open the inlet cover and fill the reservoir with distilled water (which can be found in grocery stores). We recommend that you use distilled water only, as this will prevent mineral deposits in the boiler that can reduce performance or clog the water system.
Close the inlet cover and return the reservoir to its place, making sure that it snaps in place and is secure.

To activate SMART TOUCH SENSOR, hold the MODE button for 2 seconds until lights are flashing. Once lights are flashing, the SMART TOUCH SENSOR has been activated. Once steamer is placed down on a flat surface, SMART TOUCH SENSOR goes into auto pause. To restart the steamer again, simply pick up steamer and begin steaming.
Press ON/OFF button to turn unit OFF.
Unplug the device when it is not in use.

SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS

USING ATTACHMENTS

With the garment steamer off and cool, snap the Silicone Band, creaser or delicates bonnet attachment over the steam head, ensuring it is firmly affixed. At this point, for the 2-in-1 attachment, the Silicone Band can be used or you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush insert into the channel on the top of the Silicone Band attachment, as desired.
NOTE: Only one function of the 2-In-1 attachment can be used at a time.

burn hazard
Use extreme care when changing the attachments after the unit has been in use, as the steam head will continue to be hot.

STEAMING TIPS

First, test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed using the lowest STEAM setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam. If there is no evidence of damage, you can proceed to use the steamer on that item.
To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it with the brush attachment. This will loosen the fibers and allow better steam penetration.
Hang your garment or fabric.NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.

If hanging a garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
Pass the steam jets just above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled fabrics, you may position the steamer head directly on the fabric for a few seconds to remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working with delicate fabrics.
After use, turn unit off by depressing the STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.
When steaming, always keep the unit in motion. Do not continuously hold the steamer over one area or touch steamer jets directly to fabric for more than a few seconds, as this can cause damage, including shrinkage, melting, or color shift on certain types of material.
In the case of heavier, durable fabrics, such as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO setting and slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results. As always, start by testing on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, using the regular steam setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your technique as needed to obtain the results desired.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DANGER – Any appliance is electrically live even when the switch is off.

shock hazard To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:

Always unplug appliance immediately after use and before cleaning.
Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
Do not place in or drop into water or other liquids.
Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.
Use only in a dry area.

To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:

This appliance should never be left unattended when plugged in.
This appliance is not a toy and is not to be used by children.
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could result in fire or personal injury.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
Rest the appliance on a stable surface when placing on its base.
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been dropped into water. Do not attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination and repair.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces. Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
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.
Surfaces of this appliance are hot when in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or skin.
Do not place the steam nozzle directly on any surface or on the appliance power cord while it is hot or plugged in.
Unplug this appliance before filling or emptying the water container and when not in use.
Do not operate the steamer without properly filling the water container with distilled water.
Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
Burns could occur from touching hot surfaces, hot water, or steam. Use care when removing water reservoir or when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer with head away from you and any other person when turning on.
Do not hold a hand in front of steam.
To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit.
Use caution when installing or removing an attachment, as it may contain hot water from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off, attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact with hot water.
Never steam clothes you, or someone else, are wearing.
When emitting steam, this appliance may cause burns if it is used too close to the skin or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from the steam vents, test the appliance before use by holding it away from the body.
