Safety Instructions

• Usage: Do not steam garments while wearing them. Always use a coat hanger. Avoid steaming leather, velvet, or heat-sensitive materials.
• Cooling: Always allow the steamer head to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.

Steaming

Using Attachments

• Brush attachment (A8): Suitable for garments, pillows, and blankets.
• Cleaning attachment (A9): Ideal for removing fibers, hair, and dirt, or for treating delicate fabrics like silk.
• Installation: Ensure the steamer is cool and unplugged. Seat the attachment on the head so the tip (A10) is on the top side and push it on.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cleaning: After every use, empty the water tank and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
• Descaling: Descale at least once a year or after 50 hours of operation, or if steam output decreases. Use a citric acid-based descaling agent. Fill the tank with the agent and water, heat up, and steam through a cloth until the tank is empty. Rinse with clean water afterwards.
