DANGER
WARNING
1. Do not tamper with or modify this product in any way. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for damage or injury caused by failure to follow
these instructions, improper use, or unauthorized product modification. Any
such actions will invalidate the product warranty.
2. Use EPICKA Travel Handheld Garment Steamer only for its intended purpose
as indicated in this manual.
3. Carefully remove the product from its packing container making sure all the
parts and accessories are present and unbroken.
4. Always ensure the appliance is operated on an electric power source matched
to the rated voltage indicated on the appliance.
5. Do not direct the steam towards yourself, other people, plants or animals, as
it is hot and can cause scalding and burns.
6. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse unit in water or
other liquids. Do not use power cord as handle, let it hang over edges of
counters, or be crimped or closed in doors.
7. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electrical
shock when unit is used.
To reduce risk of burns, electrocution, fire or injury to persons:
1. This appliance uses a grounded (three-pronged) plug. This plug will fit in a
grounded wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not correctly fit in the
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to install a proper outlet. DO NOT attempt
to modify the plug or defeat this safety feature.
2. Always unplug power cord immediately after using.
3. Do not place or store unit where it can fall or be pulled into a sink or tub.
4. Do not place in, or drop into water or other liquid.
5. If unit falls into water, immediately unplug power cord. Do not reach into the
water.
Any appliance is electrically live even when switched off. To reduce risk of
electrical shock:
8. Close supervision is required for any appliance being used near children, pets
and plants. Do not leave unit unattended while plugged in.
9. This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
unit by a person responsible for their safety.
10. Do not use unit where aerosol-based products are being used or where
oxygen is being administered.
11. Always check that power cord is unplugged and unit is sufficiently cool (allow
at least 5 minutes of cooling time after use) before filling Boiler with water.
Do not attempt to use unit without properly filling Boiler.
12. When filling Boiler, only water should be used in unit – other cleaning agents
could damage unit or cause injury. Distilled or de-mineralized water is highly
recommended, in order to minimize potential build-up of mineral deposits.
Do not overfill unit.
13. To reduce risk of contact with hot water emitting from Steam Nozzle, check
appliance before each use by positioning it away from body and turning it on.
Do not operate unit if Steam Nozzle is blocked.
14. Burns can occur from touching hot plastic parts, hot water or steam. Do not
touch Steam Nozzle while unit is in use. Use caution when you turn unit
upside-down – there may be hot water in Boiler.
15. When steaming any material for the first time, it is recommended that you
consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for the fabric being steamed. For items
in question, test on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.
16. Synthetic materials (such as 100% nylon or polyester) are sensitive to heat
and may be damaged by exposure to hot steam. Steam is recommended for
use only on natural fibers such as cotton, linen or wool, as well as nylon or
polyester blends.
17. Do not allow power cord to touch hot surfaces during use. Loosely bundle
cord when storing.
18. Do not use the steamer or attempt to plug the appliance into an electrical
outlet if your hands are wet.
19. Always allow EPICKA Travel Handheld Garment Steamer to cool (15 minutes
for complete cooling) and empty Boiler before storing.

1. Remove all protective packaging material from the Steamer prior to its first use.
2. Place the Steamer on a flat surface, open the water tank cover, then use the
measuring cup to fill purified or distilled water carefully as shown below. Close
the cover after filling up, and make sure it seals properly. (NOTE: Please do
NOT fill the water tank directly from faucet, always use the measuring cup.
The capacity of the water tank is 2.7 fl oz or 80 ml, marked with MAX line on
the measuring cup.)
3. Plug the power cord into an electrical socket. The two power indicator lights
inside the water tank will slowly flash for 30 sec during pre-heating. After the
lights turn stable, simply press the button to turn the Steamer on. It is
recommended to steam to an open space for about 10-15 sec to stabilize the
flow before steaming your garment. Do NOT point the nozzle t to anyone, any
animal or any plant at any time when the Steamer is on. Please use in a
vertical manner with nozzle on the top side all time, with no more than 45
degree leaning to the ground. Do not use it with nozzle on the lower side at
any time.
4. Press the steam button again to turn off the steam flow when finished or not
using.
5. When the water level falls under MIN (in vertical position) and you still need to
continue with your steaming session, please turn off the Steamer and repeat
steps 2 to 4.
6. After use, always unplug the Steamer from the power socket and empty the
water tank.
Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.
Direct Steam Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside
and outside of material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Steam Nozzle upward
from bottom to top of garment.
Direct Steam Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free
hand. Made sure to use anti-scalding glove provided in the package to avoid
potentially burning/hurting your hand.
Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.

General steaming tips Troubleshooting
Cleaning and Maintenance
For most effective results, hold Steam Nozzle directly against surfaces.
Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.
To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over
a rod or towel rack and gently steam them.
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.
To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be
damaged by heat or water spotting.
1. Always unplug the Steamer and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
2. Clean the surface with a soft moist cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or
sponge, as that would scratch the plastic parts as well as the stainless-steel
plate.
3. Store it in a cool dry place.
4. DO NOT wrap the power cord around the unit, place it loosely.
NOTE: Water containing mineral levels will vary depending on the place where
you live in. To ensure the continuous operation of the steamer, never store it
without cleaning and removing excess water from the water container or tank. If
you fill your Steamer with tap water, you may experience mineral build-up due to
the high mineral content in the water supply in many cities. Mineral residue inside
the Steamer internal heater may cause intermittent steaming or, in severe cases
no steaming at all. To avoid the problem, only use de-mineralized or distilled
water in your Steamer. If you are unable to use de-mineralized or distilled water,
we recommend you to follow the cleaning procedure below at least once a month
to help avoid mineral build-up:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord.
2. Prepare a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water, in most cases half
measuring cup of this mixture will be enough.
3. Slowly use the measuring cup to pour the water-vinegar mixture into the water
tank. Pour it out three minutes later.
4. If the procedure above does not return the unit to a normal operation, the unit
may need to be checked by the product supplier.
