Water Tank
The steamer is designed to be used with tap
water. However, if the water in your area is hard,
PurSteam recommends that you mix half tap
water and half distilled water, which reduces the
hardness; you may also use bottled water or
distilled water only.
Ensure that the device is unplugged. Remove
the water tank from the base of the appliance
by pulling it upwards. Unscrew the Valve Cap
and fill the tank with water.
Close the Valve Cap and put the water tank
back into place.
IMPORTANT: Never use water that contains
additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substanc-
es, softener, etc) in the steamer. Additives
such as these can affect the properties of the
steam and lead to the formation of deposits.
USE
Only operate the steamer on the floor, clear of
any materials which may obstruct the base of
the steamer (flat and horizontal surface).
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the unit with an
empty Water Tank.
1. Plug in the power cord and turn on the power
using the foot-operated pedal. The power light
will illuminate. After approximately 60 seconds
of heating time, the unit will begin producing a
flow of steam from the Steam Nozzle.

2. Place the garment onto the Hanger. Grasp
the Steam Nozzle with the steam vents point-
ing away from you. Start steaming by touch-
ing the material lightly with the Steam Nozzle
and moving it in an up/down vertical motion
beginning at the bottom of the garment and
moving upward. Repeat this step until the
fabric is wrinkle-free.
NOTE: Do not allow the hose to bend at any
time during use.
Adjusting the steam power
The steam power can be set to the desired
level with the Steam Adjusting Knob. Switch
the knob from left to right to increase the
steam power; switch the knob from right to
left to decrease the steam power.
NOTE: During use, the Hose may make a
gurgling noise. This is normal and caused by
condensation. If you hear the gurgling sound,
hold the Hose up to direct the condensation
back into the appliance.
WARNING: Never steam a garment while it is
being worn.
The Hose and Steam Nozzle may become hot
during use. This is perfectly normal. Be care-
ful and avoid any prolonged contact.
Do not allow the steamer to run dry.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
10
We recommend you follow this procedure
after each use, but at least once per week:
1. Turn OFF the unit and unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool (30 minutes for
complete cooling).
3. Remove the Water Tank from the unit.
Unscrew the Valve Cap and drain all remain-
ing water from Water Tank.
4. Drain all the remaining water from the
Water Reservoir through the Hose Base by
tilting the unit over a sink or a tub and pour-
ing the water out. Scale and other residues
will be rinsed out.
5. For storage convenience, you may wish
to collapse the Telescopic Pole to its most
compact height.
6. Hang the Steam Nozzle in an upright
position on the Steam Nozzle Holder when
not in use.
7. Loosely bundle the power cord and store
the unit in a cool, dry location.

REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
To maintain maximum performance, you must descale your steamer occa-
sionally. This is standard maintenance needed for steam appliances to
remove build-up caused by high mineral content in many municipal water
supplies. The time between two descaling operations depends on the qual-
ity of the water and the frequency with which you use the appliance. We
advise you to remove the mineral build-up after 7-15 days of use but at
least once a year.
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely. Unplug the unit
and remove the steam hose from the main unit. Collapse the telescopic
pole.
2. Remove the Water Tank from the unit. Unscrew the Valve Cap and drain
all remaining water from Water Tank.
3. Drain all the remaining water from the Water Reservoir through the Hose
Base by tilting the unit over a sink or tub and pouring the water out. Scale
and other residues will be rinsed out.
4. Fill a measuring cup with 12 oz (355 ml) vinegar.
5. Pour vinegar into Water Tank, then replace Valve Cap and place Water
Tank back onto the main unit.
6. Allow the vinegar to flow into Water Reservoir / Boiler and soak for 30-40
minutes.
7. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn the main unit ON.
Allow the unit to steam until there is no vinegar left. Note: Do not steam any
clothing with this mixture.
8. Drain any remaining cleaning solution from the Water Reservoir through
Hose Base.
9. Remove and refill Water Tank to maximum capacity with fresh water and
place it back onto the main unit. Allow all fresh water to flow into the Water
Reservoir / Boiler and be steamed out. Refill and repeat as necessary until
vinegar odor has completely dissipated.
10. When finished, turn the steamer off and unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet. Follow standard storage procedure as outlined in Cleaning
and Storage section above.

• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer recom-
mendations. Test the garment on an unobtrusive area such as an inner
seam. Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on
the labels of the clothing to be steamed.
• For most effective results, hold the Steam Nozzle within ½ inches of
fabrics, or press it directly against surfaces.
• Avoid contact between the Steam Nozzle and silk or velvet. Synthetic
materials (such as 100% nylon or polyester) are sensitive to heat and may
be damaged by exposure to hot steam. Steam is recommended for use
only on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or wool, as well as nylon or poly-
ester blends.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer. To remove exceptionally
stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of the garment.
• Be careful when dealing with any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by
heat or water spots.
• Certain clothes are smoothed more easily on the reverse side. If you are
using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise the hose
frequently to avoid the formation of condensation. You may hear a gurgling
noise if the Hose is obstructed in any way.
