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.

This appliance was set at the factory to operate at 120 volts. Refer to the instructions below for conversion to 240 volt operation This is a 120/240V dual voltage appliance and may be used in the U.S.A. and abroad without an electricity converter. For use in the U.S.A., the voltage selector switch should be in the 120 volt position. For use in several other countries, the voltage selector switch may need to be placed in the 240 volt position.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STEAMER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
- Make sure the unit is unplugged.
- Stand the unit on a table and grasp with one hand.
- Pull the water 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 water. We recommend that you use only distilled water (available at grocery stores), 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 proper position, making sure that it snaps in place and is secure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill water reservoir with water (distilled water is recommended). See directions at left.
- Confirm the voltage available at each location before using the appliance. Check that the dual voltage switch on bottom of unit is in the correct position for the voltage available. For use in the U.S.A., the dual voltage switch should be in the 120 volt position. For use in several other countries, the voltage selector switch may need to be slid to the 240 volt position. An adapter plug may be necessary when using this appliance in some foreign countries. If so, plug the steamer into correct adapter plug for your location and plug assembly into electrical outlet.
- Point the steamer head away from you and anyone else in the room. Press the Power Button. The Steam Button should light up red and then turn green when steam is ready (within approximately 35 seconds). The garment steamer is now ready to use. Press the Steam Button to release a continuous flow of steam from the steam head.
- Hold steamer by its handle while steaming garments or while unit is hot.
- Direct the flow of steam toward garment to remove wrinkles.
- To stop the flow of steam, press the Steam Button again.
- Press the round Steam Head Adjustment Button on the hinge to unlock the steam head for angle adjustment.
- Press the Power Button to turn off.
- Unplug the device when it is not in use.
STEAMING TIPS
- Hang your garment or fabric. NOTE: Avoid using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
- Pass the steam jets about an inch above the fabric where the wrinkles are. It may take a few passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
- CAUTION: When hanging garment on a door while steaming, be careful not to damage the door with steam.
- First test unit on an inconspicuous area of the item to be steamed, 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.
- When steaming, always keep the unit in motion and about one inch from the surface of the item being steamed to avoid potential damage. Do not continuously hold steamer over an area or let steamer jets directly touch the fabric, as this 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, slower passes with the steamer may be necessary to achieve desired results.
- After use, unplug steamer and empty any remaining water from the tank to avoid leakage.
KILLS 99.9% OF BACTERIA*
- Position the garment steamer’s nozzle at a minimum distance of 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) from material to be treated
- Remain steaming in this position for 2minutes, then move to the next area to be treated and repeat.*Bacteria reduction rate was measured after exposing the tested samples to steam for 2minutes at a ½-inch distance from the garment steamer head. Testing was performed on E. coli.
