STEP 5 - STEAM CONTROL
IMPORTANT NOTE: Steam is produced only when the Yellow Steam Ready
light is on.
The Green Ready Light goes off when the unit has reached the desired
temperature. The Yellow Steam Ready Light will come on when the unit is
ready to produce steam.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is the first time you are using the Steam Press
or you have been storing it for some time, lift the Pressing plate into the
raised position and press the Steam Burst Button several times until the
steam begins to flow.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Steam Burst function can only be used when the
Steam Ready Light is on AND the steam press is in a slightly opened position.

STEP 6 - PRESSING
a. Lift the Pressing Handle (A). The Pressing Plate (B) moves to the up
position.
b. Carefully arrange the garment to be pressed onto the Ironing Board (C).
c. Grasp the handle of the Pressing Plate(A) and lower it onto the Ironing
Board (C), capturing the garment between the two halves of the Steam
Press. For light duty Pressing, simply lowering the handle and allowing the
Pressing Plate to rest on the Ironing Board will be sufficient. Return to the
open position. For heavier duty pressing, continue to grasp the handle
and press downward until the Pressing Plate is pushed to its lowest
position, then open the press.
d. If the temperature is set high enough you may give the fabric a burst of
steam by pressing the Steam Burst Button (D) to remove stubborn
wrinkles. Lower the pressing plate until it is about two inches from the
garment. Press the Steam Burst Button for about 3-5 seconds. After
releasing the Steam Burst Button you may fully lower the pressing plate.
NOTE: Do not press the Steam Burst Button when the pressure
plate is in its lowest (closed) position.
e. After a few seconds, lift the handle and raise the Pressing Plate back to the
raised position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you forget to raise the Pressing Plate or become
distracted, the machine will give a warning beep and automatically shut-off
heating after approximately 10 seconds. The steam press will be completely
shut-off after 15 minutes of no activity with the press in the open position.

STEP 7 - FINISHING PRESSING/STORING THE UNIT
a. Water may be left in the reservoir, because it will not drip out if the
machine is stored in an upright position. However, it is recommended that
if the machine will be stored for some time, that all the water in the unit
should be drained by pressing the Steam Burst Button until all of the water
is pumped out.
b. Press the [ POWER ] button, the Red Power Light will go out. Disconnect
the plug from the outlet. Leave appliance in open position.
c. Wait for the Steam Press to cool completely (approximately 30 minutes).
d. When cool, lower the Pressing Plate onto the Ironing Board pushing the
handle to its lowest position.
e. Turn the Locking Knob to the locked position. This should prevent the
Steam Press from opening while being moved or stored.
f. Loosely wrap the electric cord and place it in the opening at the front of the
base of the Ironing Board. You are now ready to store the unit.

STEP 8 - CLEANING (As needed)
a. Cleaning the Pressing Plate:
Place the Pressing Cushion in the center of the Ironing Board. Place a clean
towel over the Pressing Cushion and the Ironing Board. Set the Steam
Control and Temperature Control to their maximum setting. When the Ready
Light comes on, gently lower the Pressing Plate onto the Pressing Cushion.
With water in the reservoir tank, press the Steam Burst Control 6 to 7 times.
Be careful to avoid touching the hot metal surfaces or leaving your hand in
the bursts of steam.
b. Once the Pressing Plate has cooled down you can clean the surface with a
damp cloth. DO NOT use any abrasives on the Pressing Plate. This Pressing
Plate has a non-stick coating that will assist in cleaning.
C. The Ironing Board Cover is removable for normal washing. You can rinse
the Ironing Board Cover with mild detergent and warm water.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS --
USING PRESS CLOTH:
Placing a press cloth ( a piece of clean fabric) between the fabric and the
Pressing Plate may be desirable, especially for more delicate fabrics.
OLDER STYLE BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS:
While most modern buttons and zippers require no special attention, some
older types may be heat sensitive. Take care with items that could melt.
Lower the heat or steam settings, place the items FACE DOWN on the
ironing board, and cover the fabric with a press cloth BEFORE pressing. This
will help protect delicate accessories and fasteners.
SPRAY BOTTLE METHOD:
Using a Spray Bottle, lightly spray the garment before placing it on the
Ironing Board. This helps to distribute an even, fine mist over the fabric,
preparing it to be pressed, and removing all wrinkles.
DAMP CLOTH METHOD:
For the most stubborn or heavy gauge fabrics, place a damp cloth over the
area to be pressed. Press the garment normally for a few seconds, then raise
the Pressing Plate and allow the steam to escape. Repeat the procedure until
the fabric is dry.
11

USE OF THE PRESSING CUSHION --
Some garments have been constructed with details, such as darts,
curved Seams and shoulder pads, which are not intended to be pressed
flat. A Pressing Cushion is supplied with your Steam Press for use with
Theseareas.
a. Use the cushion whenever pressing areas where no creases are
desired or to shape tailored garments.
b. Place the area to be pressed onto the Ironing Board.
c. Place the Pressing Cushion under the dart, seam etc.
d. Make sure the area to be pressed is raised and lower the Pressing Plate.
The raised area is the only area the plate should contact.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not attempt to lower the Pressing Plate to its lowest
position or lock the Pressing Plate against the Ironing Board with the Pressing
Cushioninplace. YouMAY DAMAGE the Steam Press by doing so.

TECHNIQUES FOR PRESSING --
LARGE PIECES OF FABRIC:
To press large pieces of fabric, place the entire piece in the storage area
behind the Ironing Board. The area you want to press first is on the top of
the pile.
Pull the fabric towards you, over the Ironing Board and lower the Pressing
Plate, pressing each section as you move the fabric forward. Allowing the
pressed fabric to drape in front of the Pressing Plate will Preserve the
Pressing and give you a complete job free of wrinkles.
SHIRTS AND BLOUSES:
a. Place the shoulder yoke on the Ironing Board first, face down and press.
b. Place the sleeves on the Ironing Board, next, with the fold parallel
to the long seam and press.
c. Place the cuffs on the end of the Ironing Board and press.
d. Place the body of the shirt into the storage area between the Pressing
Plate and Ironing Board, away from you. Press the side front of the shirt
including the placket or pocket.
e. Pull the shirt towards you and continue to press each area until complete.
f. Place the shoulder yoke flat on the Ironing Board. Press to remove the
crease.
G. Place the collar right side up on the Ironing Board and press.
13

PANTS:
a. Place the pressing Cushion under the waistband and press.
b. Reposition the waistband and continue around the pants until the entire
waistband is pressed.
c. To press the in seam, place the Pressing Cushion under the area to be
pressed. Press the entire in seam and repeat for the other leg.
d. Press the front and back pleats using the same method. Fold one leg along
the creased line. Place it on the Ironing Board so that the seams will not
be pressed. Press the crease.
PLEATED SKIRTS:
a. Place the Pressing Cushion under the waistband and press.
b. Reposition the waistband and continue around the skirt until the entire
waistband is pressed.
c. Place the pleated area on the Ironing Board. Fold the pleats carefully and
Press.
d. Continue with each pleated area until the garment is completed.
OTHER ITEMS:
a. EMBROIDERY should be placed FACE DOWN on the Ironing Board to
reduce wear and prevent damage to delicate work.
b. CURTAINS may be pressed running them from one end of the Ironing
Board to the other and pressing in sections until complete.
c. DRESSES with special needs should refer to the above sections on pleats,
shirts (bodices), etc., for proper use of the Pressing Cushion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many types of clothing are intricate and unique to their
owner. You may have to experiment with the best way to press challenging
garments. Remember, if you put in a crease you did not intend, you can
remove it just as simply with one of the methods contained in these
Instructions.
