Installation Instructions
Refer to illustration sheet
(1) UNCRATE MACHINE. Check the nameplate voltage and current, making sure
it is the same as the supply voltage and current.
(2) SET MACHINE IN POSITION.
(3) REMOVE THE REVOLVING FORM by holding the turning knob and the
opposite weight “bucket” and lifting approximately 22”.
(4) CONNECT STEAM SUPPLY LINE as shown on next page.
(5) CONNECT RETURN LINE as shown on next page.
NOTE: Before final return line connection is made, open the steam supply
valve and blow all foreign matter out of the steam lines and
chamber. Failure to do so will cause trap to leak.
(6) MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS in 3”junction box on rear of the
machine, according to applicable electric codes. Connections should include a
fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker with “slo-blow” characteristics and be
capable of carrying 15 amps 115 volts or 8 amps 230 volts.
(7) MAKE SURE THE CONDENSER VALVE IS OPEN (condenser located behind
the air filter) before connecting clothes tree.
(8) CONNECT CLOTHES TREE TO REAR OF BASE by the two 1/4” bolts.
(9) TURN ON ELECTRICAL POWERAND TEST THE MACHINE. Replace the
revolving assembly, remove the plastic protective bag, and open the return and
steam lines.

(Machine can be operated from either side).
1. Position garment on form and adjust shoulders. A knob on top of the form is used to
adjust the form shoulder width. Turn knob clockwise to increase shoulder width.
Turn knob clockwise to increase shoulder width.
2. Press white switch to “air on” to size the bag by moving the damper control on top of
the tower.
3. Set the time on each timer. Recommended is:
Steam: 6-9 seconds
Conditioning: 4-9 seconds
Drying: 12-16 seconds.
4. Either presteam or not; whatever your demands require.
5. Position the cycle switch for whatever cycle you desire. Recommend steaming,
conditioning, drying the central position of the switch.
6. Push the push-to-start switch or step on the foot switch and the cycle will
automatically sequence.
7. If you desire to cancel that cycle at any time, push the white switch toward the cycle
off location.

The “Tower of Power” is at your fingertips for all of the finishing combinations you will
ever need. All three timers (steaming, conditioning, drying) are adjustable from 0 to 30
seconds. The cycle switch provides (presteam only, steaming-conditioning-drying,
steam & air-conditioning-drying) which ever is required. The white switch allows you
to have air only for sizing and provides a cancel position to terminate the cycle at any
time. The automatic push-to-start switch is available on the tower or by the foot
switch. The lights will glow whenever you are in any of the timer periods. Damper
control lever is on top of tower.
Where possible, perform all touch-up of sleeves, collars, trim, etc., prior to finishing on
the Genie. In this way, differences in sheen will be eliminated from the garment.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONSGENERAL SUGGESTIONS
GENERAL SUGGESTIONSGENERAL SUGGESTIONS
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
When finishing knits or soft unlined woolens, place net overbag on form before posi-
tioning garment. After garment is positioned on form, repeat Step #2 in Operating
Instructions. Push damper knob all the way to obtain full air pressure and repeat step
6 to start cycle.
To finish coats and other open front garments, use front paddle clamp to hold front of
garment in place. Use the hand vent clamps to hold rear vent or pleat.
When additional moisture is needed for hard set wrinkles, use the water spray gun,
spraying into the steam from a distance of approximately 15”. Rotate the garment to
the spray gun, using the turning knob on the revolving assembly.
Keep the nylon bag clean and in good repair. A vacuum cleanable air filter is provided
to help keep the bag clean. Vacuum clean the filter weekly. Remove nylon bag (see
detailed instructions) and wet clean as required. Repair holes or worn spots. To obtain
proper characteristics of cloth porosity, bag size, and control strings, use only genuine
Cissell replacement bags.

This overbag is for use ONLY when finishing sweaters or other soft garments that do
not require bag contact for proper finishing.
DO NOT use overbag with hard fabrics or heavy garments. Hard set wrinkles will not
be removed when using the overbag.
The Cissell overbag holds the form to a narrow size, thereby spreading steam and
gentle diffused air throughout the garment to eliminate distortion.
THE NET OVERBAG IS EASY TO USE
1. Place the net bag over the form so that it fully covers the standard nylon bag.
2. Place the garment on the form and operate the machine per standard
instructions, using “large size” setting for faster drying.
In general, garments including bonded knits and wool dresses can be finished without
the overbag.
When ordering additional net overbags, specify F816.

Should the revolving form “drag” on the base rather than turn freely, the form must be
raised.
Conversely, if the revolving form hides too high above the base, permitting steam to
escape from the space between the form and base,the form must be lowered.
WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE, REMOVE REVOLVING FORM BY
SIMPLY LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP OFF THE BASE.
PROBLEM: Revolving Form “drags” on base.
TO CORRECT: Loosen F286 Bearing Lock Nut. Turn F287 Bearing Adjustment
ScrewCOUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
CHECK ADJUSTMENT: Replace revolving form on base. Rotate form. If perfectly
adjusted, form will rotate freely and snugly on felt seal
around top of base. If form is still too low...or too
high...repeat adjustment until it is correct.
