HOW TO STEAM
Fabric care professionals know and appreciate the value of steam for gently
de-wrinkling all type of fabrics. Fabric steaming is fast and safe, and has a myriad
of applications including clothing, upholstery, (auto and home) window fashions, and
linens. Your Reliable Vivio 500GC/Vivio 550GC garment steamer has been designed to
provide the best quality steam for these tasks. Here are a few tips:
1. It is important to make sure that the steam hose is in an upright (vertical)
position so that any condensation can flow back to the steamer. If you do have
to steam in a low position it is suggested that you frequently lift the steam head
up so that the hose is extended.
2. For very long articles, like pants or coats, it might be helpful to put the garment
on the Vivio's available hanger.
3. This will allow you to steam higher up, and reduce the chance of condensation
forming in the steam hose.
4. It may be helpful to gently pull the bottom of the garment (hem) to allow
the steam to penetrate the fabric and release the wrinkles. This may be
particularly useful at the seam of a garment.
5. It is not necessary to "push" the steam head onto the fabric. Lightly touching
the material is all that is usually needed. For fabrics with a nap (corduroy, velvet,
velour), the brush that is included with the Vivio 500GC model is very helpful for
refreshing the fabric while protecting the nap of the fabric.
6. Some garments may react better if they are steamed from the inside.
7. Retail clothing stores know the advantage of having a garment steamer on the
sales floor, ready for quick touch ups to make the garment look like new again.
While you can easily store the Vivio 500GC/Vivio 550GC when not in use (the
water should be drained from the unit if it will be stored for a long period of
time) the best way to use the steamer is like the pros. Have it in a convenient
spot where you will use it the most frequently. For some people that would be
in their laundry room, for others it's in their bedroom. Because the Vivio 500GC/
Vivio 550GC heats up so quickly (less than one minute) it is the perfect solu-
tion to the un-wearable wrinkled blouse or sweater. Plug it in, turn it on, sixty
seconds later a few waves of the steam head and you are looking your best...
everyday.
