HOW TO OPERATE
1. Ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Unscrew the water tank’s valve cap and ll with water. Screw the valve
cap back in place and place the water tank on to the unit (it will not
click). Never turn the steamer on with an empty tank.
3. Plug the unit in to a suitable power outlet and press the on button.
4. The light will illuminate blue and the steamer will begin heating the
water and build pressure.
5. Please wait for 120 seconds or until the pressure is at 5 bars.
6. In the meantime hang your clothes onto the clothes hanger, or use your own
clothes hanger in the clothes hanger slot.
7. Once the f1500 is ready to use, take the steamer head out of the head hanger
and with one hand hold the material taut. Using the steamer head in the other
hand, press the steam trigger and soften the material by blasting steam at it.
8. After applying some steam, use the steamer head without the steam to iron
the material either by holding the material taut, or ironing against the ironing
board. Glide the steamer head over garment until the creases are removed.
9. The steamer is in operational mode anywhere from 2 to 5 bars of
pressure. If pressure dips to below 2, wait for the pressure to build
up again. Please note it is not best practice to keep the steam trigger
pressed, instead use short sharp bursts and follow through using the
iron without steam.
10. For collars and cus, do not forget to use the collar and cu accessories.
11. When you are nished, switch the f1500 o by pressing the on/o button.
Unplug the unit and turn o the power supply outlet switch.
Hang the steamer head on the head hanger when not in use. Never fold
the hose. Never pull the hose with excessive force. The hose can be easily
removed by pressing the button on the hose connector. Do not move the
appliance by pulling the hose.
CAUTION:
When using your f1500, it is not necessary or best practice to hold
the steam trigger down continuously. Instead, use in short sharp
bursts. Blast the area with creases and follow through using gliding
the hot iron over the taut material. Doing this will keep the pressure
of the steam high and ensures the creases disappear quickly.

When the button is out, it is in descaling mode. When the button is in, the
f1500 is in steaming mode/operation mode.
4. Prepare an area for the built up deposits to go,
such as a sink or large bucket.
5. When the steam pressure reaches
4 Bar or the steam indicator is on, press
the steam trigger aiming into a sink or bucket.
