When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should
always be followed. Check that the voltage indicated on the rating
plate corresponds with that of the local network before connecting
the appliance to the mains power supply.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified
engineer in order to avoid a hazard. Ensure that the supply cord is
kept away from heat or sharp edges that could cause damage.
Steam produced by the unit is hot. Care must be taken to avoid
scalding or other injuries. Do not shake the appliance during use to
avoid hot water splashing out.
The appliance must be unplugged from the power supply after use
and during any maintenance or setting up, such as cleaning, refilling
tank or attaching accessories. Avoid tilting the appliance during
operation to prevent water spillage.
Never immerse the unit, power cord or plug in water or any other
types of liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

How To Operate
1. Ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.
2. Unscrew the water tank’s valve cap and fill 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 turn the power
outlet to ‘on’ if applicable.
4. Turn the appliance’s power switch to the ‘ON’ position. The light
will illuminate blue and the steamer will begin heating the water.
5. When you are finished, turn the power switch to the ‘OFF’
position, unplug the unit and turn off the power supply outlet switch
if applicable.
Hang the steamer head on the head hanger when not in use. Never
fold the hose.
Never pull the hose with excessive force. This could cause damage
and possibly a leak of steam. Do not move the appliance by pulling
the hose.
Glide the steamer head over garment until the creases are
removed. To avoid the hose folding, when using, turn the steamer
around, operating from away from the tank and the ON/OFF
switch.
Caution:
Please refer to label on item of clothing / fabric to be sure it
is suitable for steaming. Some fabrics like leather, suede and
velvet may not be suitable for steaming. If you are unsure,
steam a discreet part of the item to test that it does not
damage the fabric before steaming the entire item.

Removing Mineral Deposits
Depending on the water you use, minerals and sediment
may collect in the steamer and affect the free flow of steam.
To reduce this, we recommend using demineralised or distilled
water.
To remove mineral deposits, please follow this procedure.
1. Turn the unit off and unplug from the power outlet.
2. Remove the hose and telescopic pole from the base.
3. Drain the water from the water reservoir and empty the water
storage tank.
4. Mix a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water or citric acid.
5. Slowly pour the solution into the hose connector or pour into the
water reservoir until full.
6. Plug the appliance in to a suitable power outlet and turn on
any power outlet switch if necessary. Turn the unit on and leave to
steam for 2-3 minutes, or until the water reservoir is empty.
7. Drain the water reservoir of any residual solution by removing
the drain plug and allowing the liquid to drain into a sink or bucket.
9. Pour clean water in the hose connector and water reservoir and
then drain.
10. Repeat the rinsing procedure until the vinegar odour
disappears.
11. Re-assemble the appliance and operate as usual.

Troubleshooting Plug Safety
The appliance is fitted with a 13 amp plug. In the event of having to
change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS
1363) fuse must be used. Should the plug need to be replaced for
any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains
lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
• The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the ter-
minal marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow. Under no circumstances should either the Neutral
or Live be connected to the earth terminal
• The wire coloured blue or black must be connected to the terminal
“N”. Under no circumstances should either the Earth or Live be con-
nected to the Neutral terminal.
• The wire coloured brown or red must be connected to the termi-
nal marked “L”. Under no circumstances should either the Earth or
Neutral be connected to the Live terminal.
• Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
If in doubt please contact a qualified engineer for advice.

Non-rewireable mains plug
If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the
mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an
ATSTA approved one (comforming to BS1362) of the same rating. If
in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If you need to remove the plug – DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAINS
and then cut off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it
safely. Never attempt to re-use the plug or insert it into a socket
outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.
