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

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 slot the water tank on to the unit. Never turn the
steamer on with an empty tank or water reservoir.
3. Plug the unit into a suitable power outlet and turn the power outlet to
‘on’ if applicable.
4. Press the appliance’s power button. The digital display will illuminate ‘10’
and the steamer will begin heating the water.
5. When you are finished, press the power button, unplug the unit and
turn off the power 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.
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.
Always extend the telescope pole to the maximum length.
Never allow the steam hose to form a loop as condensed water
will be stored in the loop and it may spill out from the steamer
head.
gap
hold
taut
Using a steamer takes a little getting used to, just like driving
a car or learning to cook. However, once you’ve got the
hang of it, it’s very rewarding.
If you use the steamer with the steamer head pressed against
the clothes, there is no room for the steam to come out and the
creases won’t disappear (and you’ll get water marks on your
clothes). Instead, lean the steamer head forward only touching
with the top curve and allow a small gap between where the
steam comes out and where it hits the clothing. With your other
hand, make sure the material is taut. Stroke the clothing up and
down to remove creases.

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.
8. Pour clean water in the hose connector and water reservoir and then
drain.

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
terminal 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 connected
to the Neutral terminal.
• The wire coloured brown or red must be connected to the terminal
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.

22 23
Fridja ProFessional Garment steamerf1400
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.
