SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
10. Do not operate the garment steamer with a damaged
cord or in the event the garment steamer has been
dropped or damaged or there are visible signs of damage
or it is leaking. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble the garment steamer. Take it to a qualified

steamer is used after reassembly.
11. The garment steamer must be hung from a secure hook or
rod rated to hold a minimum of 30 pounds.
12. When hanging the garment steamer, ensure the base is
level.
13. Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water,
or steam. Keep hands away from steam vents when
appliance is ON ( ). Use caution if you turn the garment
steamer upside down—there might be hot water in the
reservoir.
14. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate a garment
steamer on the same circuit with another high-wattage
appliance.

• Power Indicator light is flashing.
The appliance has run out of water in the reservoir and stopped
heating.
1. Press ON/OFF ( ) Button to turn off power.
2. Refill Water Reservoir with COLD tap water and replace into
Reservoir Holder.
3. Allow 1 minute for heater to cool.
4. Press ON/OFF ( ) Button to resume steaming.
• Power Indicator light is flashing and Water Reservoir is full.

2. Reposition Water Reservoir to seat securely in place. Press
ON/OFF ( ) Button to turn on power.
3. If still flashing, press ON/OFF ( ) Button to turn off power.

13
• Some water has dripped from bottom of Garment Steamer
onto floor below.
The Reservoir Holder of the Garment Steamer has a small
overflow hole in the bottom to allow excess water to drain.
Do not add water directly to Reservoir Holder. Use care when
inserting Water Reservoir to prevent excess water from dripping
into holder area.
• Clothes are still wrinkled after steaming the recommended
amount of time.
Steaming provides a relaxed look. Some fabrics release wrinkles
easier than others.
1. Return garment to steamer and continue to steam longer.
2. Steaming multiple garments at a time requires longer
steaming. For best results, steam garments one at a time.
3. The relaxed look may not be what you want. For a pressed
look, use a regular steam iron.
• Clothes feel wet after steaming.
The Garment Steamer produces both heat and moisture to relax
wrinkles. The garment has been steamed for too long a period of
time.
1. Allow garment to hang to dry before wearing.
2. Reduce steaming time at next steaming occasion.
3. Partially unzip Garment Bag during steaming to allow some
steam to escape.
• Clothes are wet at bottom of hem.
Garments are too long for the Garment Steamer. Clothes should
not touch bottom of Garment Steamer. Fold long dresses or
pants over bar of plastic hanger.
• Clothes have condensation on fabric or have water spots.
Steaming for long periods of time will cause condensation to
collect on Garment Bag sides and top.
1. Wipe inside of Garment Bag with a clean towel after every
garment that is steamed.
2. Garments are steamed quickly, often in as short as
30 seconds to 1 minute. Reduce time, check wrinkles, and add
short amounts of time if necessary.
