IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, when using
your appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. Use appliance only for its intended use.
3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance
in water or other liquids. Do not rinse this appliance under tap
water.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and
pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around
appliance when storing.
6. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam
vents, check appliance before each use by holding it away from
body and operating steam button.

7. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with
water or emptying, and when not in use. If object falls into water or
comes into outside contact with water, always unplug before trying
to remove it from water.
8. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the
appliance itself has been dropped or damaged. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
appliance, take it to a qualified service person for examination and
repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
9. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or
near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while
connected.
10. Burns could occur from touching hot metal or plastic parts, hot
water, or steam. Use care when you turn a steam appliance upside
down –there may be hot water in the reservoir.
11. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit at the same time.
12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 10 ampere rated
cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat
and eventually lead to a fire. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any
way.
14. Do not alter the plug or its cord in any way. Avoid tight coiling,
twisting, or bundling of the cord. Do not expose power cord to high
temperatures or place under heavy objects. Do not use the power
cord to hang heavy objects, as this may cause fire or electric shock.
15. Do not touch hot objects such as steam head during use to avoid
scalding. Do not point the appliance towards people or pets while
turned on, as this may cause injury.
16. Do not use it outdoors or use it for purposes that are beyond its
functional range.

17. Pay close attention to the appliance while in use. Water tank must
be filled and secured in its place before use. Pay attention to the
water level when using and avoid going below “MIN” level.
18. Only remove detachable water tank when appliance is turned off
and unplugged. Only turn garment steamer on if water tank is filled
to at least its minimum water level.
19. Do not add any cleaning agent to the water tank to avoid
machine malfunction. Do not add essential oils or anything other
than water into the tank. Do not fill tank above its MAX level. Use
distilled water for best results.
20. Keep appliance away from direct sunlight or highly moist
environments.

Installing attachments
If you wish to install the fabric brush or steam bonnet attachments, hold
the handle and use the other hand to clip on the fabric brush or steam
bonnet onto the ironing head. See picture below for reference.
NOTE: The fabric brush is used to brush out wrinkles and dust while the
steam bonnet filters water from impurities and for added drip
protection.
USE
•After adding water, plug the appliance in.
•Press the power button. The red standby light will start to blink. Wait
for about 30 seconds for the standby light to stop blinking. This
indicates the preheating is finished and the machine is ready to
use.
•Hang the clothes that you wish to steam in an area that will not be
impacted by the heat and steam, such as on a shower rod. Try to
straighten the clothes as much as possible. Press on power button to
select desired steam flow, once for low or twice for high. Press the
steam switch to start steaming, and click down if you wish to have a
continuous steam flow.
•Aim the head toward the clothes. Holding the steamer
approximately 1 inch from the fabric, move in a slow, continuous

7

GST 47574 - 200605
motion down, going over the same general area until wrinkles are
eliminated.
NOTE:
‒When the steam switch is pressed once and clicked down, the
product will emit a continuous steam flow. When the steam
switch is pressed again, the appliance will stop emitting steam.
‒If the steamer runs out of water while operating, turn the
appliance off immediately. Do not operate without water. If you
are not done steaming, simply refill water tank and resume with
steaming.
CAUTION:
‒Never steam clothes while wearing them. Always remove and
hang clothes before steaming.
‒Never use the steamer horizontally or steam on horizontal
surfaces. This product is intended for vertical steaming.
‒Never aim the steamer head at a person or animal to avoid
high temperature scalding. Be careful with hands while
steaming as you may accidentally burn yourself with the
steamer.
‒When using the garment steamer, the ironing steam head will
become HOT. Do not touch directly to avoid scalding or burns.
When finished steaming, press the power button for 2 seconds. The
power indicator light should turn off. Unplug the appliance and allow to
cool off. Store in a dry place, out of reach from children.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Machine body cleaning: Unplug the steamer. Wipe the body with a
soft damp cloth after the main unit has cooled down.
•Pour distilled or clean water into the tank. Shake the water tank to
clean the inner wall, then pour the water out. Repeat if needed.
•When the steam output hole is blocked, a toothpick can be used to
remove buildup. You can also use distilled white vinegar, which will

8

GST 47574 - 200605
kill bacteria in the water tank. Simply fill the tank to “MAX” level with
vinegar, turn on the machine and allow it to heat up. “Steam” out
the vinegar into a kitchen sink until the level reaches “MIN”.
Remove the vinegar and rinse out with water 2-3 times, until there is
not trace of the vinegar left. Repeat the same process with distilled
water.
•When storing, place the garment steamer in a dry, dust-free
environment. Ensure that the tank is completely dry when storing to
avoid mildew.
NOTE:
‒Do not soak in water to clean this product, otherwise it may
cause electric shock and unit to short circuit.
‒Do not use strong alkali or strong acid to avoid damaging the
unit or causing discoloration of the unit.
‒Please unplug the steamer and cool the main unit before
carrying out maintenance work. Failure to do so may cause
danger of electric shock or scalding.

Steaming Tips and Tricks
•Why steam? Because it helps clear your clothes of bacteria
between washes while also keeping them wrinkle-free! This means
that clothes that cannot be washed as often or are “dry-clean
only” can still be maintained without risking them getting damaged
in the wash. Using distilled water is your best bet for keeping clothes
clean* and garments wrinkle free.
•What should you steam? Best items to steam range from wrinkled
shirts to wool and wool-like fabrics, silk and silk-like fabrics, and other
delicate fabrics. Avoid steaming suede, leather, plastic or

10
www.KALORIK.com
GST 47574 - 200605
completely synthetic fabrics as they may melt from the heat of the
steamer.
•How do you steam? Always hang fabrics and garments about to
be steamed. When steaming, pull slightly on fabric until it is slightly
taught and steam from the top down, with about an inch of
distance from the fabric. Really wrinkly clothes can be steamed
from the inside out to facilitate the process. Use short, slow
movements to allow the steam to do its magic.
•What should you use to steam? We recommend distilled water, as it
prevents the opportunity for mineral buildup that may occur when
using tap water. For tips on how to avoid this, or cleaning your
steamer should this happen, go to the “Care and maintenance”
section
•We suggest using a hanger that won’t risk rusting- something made
of heat-resistant plastic or another rust-free metal hanger.
•Use gloves for added protection while steaming.
•Adjust steam flow based on need—use a lighter steam flow for
more delicate items, and a heavier steam flow for thicker fabrics.
NOTE: Using a garment steamer does not replace cleaning or dry-
cleaning your garments. It does help maintain more delicate clothes
between washes.
