SETTING UP YOUR PORTABLE STEAMER
BEFORE FIRST USE:
• Remove any sticker or protective cover from the Steam Head.
• Unwind and straighten the cord before use.
• When operating the Portable Steamer for the first time, allow it to
steam for a few minutes. This will remove any impurities and odors that
may have been left by the manufacturing process.
• When operating the Portable Steamer for the first time, you may
want to try the steamer on an old piece of fabric before steaming your
Portable.
• Warning: to avoid an electrical circuit overload, it is recommended that
no other appliances are plugged into the same circuit as your Portable
Steamer when it is in use.
Note: when unpacking the Portable Steamer, check to see you have re-
ceived all the items listed in the parts list before discarding the
packaging.
GETTING STARTED:
1. Rotate and pull out the Water Tank, open the Water Inlet Cover, and fill
with tap water until it reaches the MAXIMUM level. Always ensure the
Water Tank is at least a third full. Do not exceed the MAXIMUM level
when filling the Water Tank.

HOW TO STEAM YOUR GARMENTS:
The Portable Steamer is easy to use and is perfect for removing wrin-
kles/creases from garments and curtains, as well as refreshing furnishing
fabrics. It can be used on most fabrics as long as the fabric is hanging, or
where the Portable Steamer can be in an upright position moving over the
fabric.
NOTE: The Portable Steamer is designed to be used in an upright position
on hanging fabrics. Refrain from using the steamer in or on garments in a
horizontal position.
1. Check that there is ventilation behind the fabric, otherwise moisture
may build up causing mildew.
2. Check that garment pockets are empty and turn-ups such as cuffs
and hems are down.
3. Hang the garment from a hanger and stretch the fabric slightly with
one hand, checking that there is nothing behind the fabric that can be
damaged by the steam.
NOTE: we recommend you do not steam over metal accessories. Use
caution and steam around the metal accessories.
1. Press and hold down the Steam Button. You will feel vibrations and
hear a subtle humming sound while steaming; this is normal. Steam
the garment facing away from you and in an upright position.

2. Gently press the Fabric Brush against the garment, moving your arm
in an up and down motion, targeting creases in the fabric.
3. Release the Steam Button to stop the steam.
NOTE: Ensure that the fabric is stretched whilst steaming for best results.
1. If using the Portable Steamer without the Fabric Brush, keep a distance
of at least 3 inches between the Steam Head and the garment.
TO STEAM CURTAINS:
1. Wash and dry curtains as directed, according to the fabric type.
2. Hang the curtains and steam them when they are hanging in place.
3. Lightly stretch the curtains with one hand, while steaming to help
remove creases.
TO STEAM UPHOLSTERY:
1. The Portable Steamer can be used to help freshen upholstery and slip
covers on furniture and cushions.
2. Keeping the Portable Steamer in an upright position, lightly steam
over the fabric of your furniture. Cushions should be removed and
held upright for steaming. Allow cushions to dry thoroughly before
replacing on the furniture.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the Fabric Brush attachment when
steaming delicate fabrics such as silk.

WARNING: if the garment has metal accessories, be cautious and do not
hold the Portable Steamer directly over the metal as this may discolor
the metal.
NOTE: If the unit becomes noisy with a loud humming sound and no
steam is being generated, check the water level in the Water Tank. This
may indicate that the Portable Steamer is out of water and needs to be
refilled.
AFTER EACH USE:
• Press the Power Button, switch the power off at the power outlet,
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
• Open the Water Tank inlet and (over a sink or bucket) invert the
Water Tank to empty the remaining water.
• Stand the Portable Steamer on its base and allow to cool.

STORAGE: Once the Portable Steamer has been disconnected from the
power outlet, allowed to cool, the water tank has been emptied of
water, and cleaned, wrap the cord safely around the Steamer to store
in an upright position.
DISPOSAL:
We recommend that you store the Portable Steamer on a flat surface. Do
not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste. Use
separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for informa-
tion regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances
are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and
well-being.
