water, which reduces the hardness. You can also use bottled spring water.
• After closing the cap, turn the tank down and hold it by the handle. Check
out that no water is leaking through the cap.
• Place the water tank on the base (fig. 9).
USE
Warning: Never steam a garment while it is being worn.
The flexible pipe and the end of the steam head can become extremely hot
during use. This is perfectly normal. Be careful and avoid any prolonged
contact.
• Only operate the steamer on the floor clear of any materials which may
obstruct the base of the steamer (flat and horizontal surface). Do not obs-
truct the openings on the lower part of the appliance. This device should
not be used on very thick carpets or rugs.
• Undo the Velcro strip and completely unwind the electrical cord.
(fig.10)
• Plug in to power socket. (fig.11)
• Switch on by pressing the pedal located at the front of the device. The
power indicator light will come on. (fig.12)
• The device will begin producing steam after approximately 60 seconds.
• Hang the garments from the built-in hanger or from another hanger which
may be suspended from the hook located on the hanger rod. To steam
trousers, we recommend that you also use the support with clips as in-
dicated in the illustration. (fig.14)
• Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you.
• Start steaming by brushing material lightly with the grain of the fabric
in an up/down vertical motion. The fabric brush opens the weave of the
fabrics for better steam penetration.
• Start at the top the garment and gradually move downward (fig.13).
Always steam in a vertical position.
• For more ease, we recommend to pull the garment downward with your
free hand while steaming. Be careful not to touch the hot steam.
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal oc-
currence due to condensation. If the device begins to gurgle, rest the
steam head on its support for a few moments in order to direct the
condensation into the device once again.
