recommends that you mix half tap water and half distilled water, which reduces the
hardness. You can also use bottled spring water.
• After closing the cap, turn the tank down and hold it by the handle. Check out that no
water is leaking through the cap.
• Place the water tank on the base (fig. 12).
USE
1 • Setting up
• Only operate the steamer on the floor clear of any materials which may obstruct the
base of the steamer (flat and horizontal surface). Do not obstruct the openings on the
lower part of the appliance. This device should not be used on very thick carpets or rugs.
• Undo the Velcro strip and completely unwind the electrical cord.
• Plug in to power socket. (fig.13)
• Switch on by pressing the pedal located at the front of the device. The power indicator
light will come on. (fig.14)
• The device will begin producing steam after approximately 60 seconds.
2 • Using the Roll Press system
To use the Roll Press system:
• Hold the Roll Press system handle and roll down the shade (fig. 15).
• Insert the handle into the locking hook on the pole and check that it is firmly locked.
(fig. 16)
• Hang the garments from the built-in hanger or from another hanger which may be
suspended from the hook located on the hanger rod. (fig. 18-19)
• To steam trousers, we recommend that you also use the support with clips as indicated
in the illustration.(fig. 20)
• Grasp the steam head with the steam vents pointing away from you.
• Start steaming by brushing material lightly with the grain of the fabric in an up/down
vertical motion.
• The vertical support shade helps keep the garment in place while steaming.
• Start at the top the garment and gradually move downward. Always steam in a vertical
position.
• Always be careful not to touch the hot steam.
• Always hang the steam head in an upright position on the hook when not in use.-
• During use, the hose may make a gurgling noise. This is a normal occurrence due to
condensation. If the device begins to gurgle, rest the steam head on its support for a
few moments in order to direct the condensation into the device once again.
• During use, some water drips may appear on the telescopic pole. This is also a normal
occurrence due to condensation. To limit this phenomena, do not press too heavily the
steam head on the Roll Press shade.
Warning: Never steam a garment while it is being worn.
The flexible hose and the end of the steam head an be ome extremely hot during
use. This is perfe tly normal. Be areful and avoid any prolonged onta t.
The Roll & Press system integrated in the hanger provides a verti al support while
steaming, to help remove wrinkles more easily and effi iently.

Tips for better results with your
garment steamer and Roll & Press system
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer
recommendations before steaming. We also recommend testing the garment and
effect on the garment on an unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
• Button up the shirt’s collar to prevent from slipping on the hanger during
steaming (fig. 17).
• When steaming a shirt, begin with steaming the sleeves. Get hold of one sleeve
and cross it over the garment using the Roll Press for vertical support (fig. 17).
• To steam the back of the shirt, lift up the shirt by the shoulders and flip it around
the hanger (fig. 19).
• To put crisp edges on pants and shirts, press the steam head (without any
accessory) against the fabric and the vertical support.
• Gently press steamer brush into fabric while making slow passes.
• Avoid contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
• If you are using the steam head at a position close to the ground, raise the hose
frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation. A gurgling noise may
be heard if the flexible pipe is pinched.
• If no steam is produced, if a gurgling sound is heard or if water is dripping
through the holes of the steam head, raise the steam hose occasionally to
remove condensation inside.
• Be careful at all times.
ACCESSORIES
1 • Fabric brush
The fabric brush opens the weave of the
fabrics for better steam penetration.
• Attach the fabric brush to the steam head by lining up the bottom of the brush with
the bottom of the steam head. Gently push the top of the brush onto the steam head
until it clicks into place.
• Gently brush the area to be steamed with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• Remove the fabric brush once unit is unplugged and completely cool. Remove it by
pressing on the release tab on top of brush while pulling it forward.

2 • Lint pad
The lint pad removes hair, lint and animal fur for a professional finish.
• To use the lint pad, slowly brush the clothing with the grain or nap of the fabric.
• The pad can be cleaned by brushing it in the opposite direction. We recommend
cleaning the pad on an old cloth that can be discarded.
• We recommend to use the lint pad before steaming your clothes for perfect results.
3 • Delicates steam cap
The steam cap provides even distribution of
steam, filters impurities from the water and
protects fabrics from water dripping.
• Attach the steam cap to the steam head.
The steam head should be totally covered.
• Gently press the steam head with cap on the
area to be steamed.
• Remove the steam cap once unit is unplugged
and completely cool.

again. The power indicator light will go off, and you can then unplug the device.
• Hang the steam head in an upright position on the hook when not in use.
• Unlock the Roll Press handle from its hook on the pole (fig. 21). Keep your hand on
the handle while the shade is rolling back to the top.
• Empty and rinse the water tank each time before storage in order to flush out any
scale particles. (fig. 22)
• Loosely wind up the electrical cord and close with the Velcro strip, then hang it from
the clip on the pole. (fig.23 - fig. 24)
• Do not carry the steamer by the water tank handle. This appliance includes luggage
style wheels for added convenience when transporting.

• Clean the Roll Press system shade with a damp cloth or non abrasive sponge.
Do not use any cleaning products such as soap or detergents.
• Always handwash the delicates steam cap and wait until it is totally dry before using
again.
• To maintain maximum performance, your steamer must be descaled occasionally.
The time between descaling operations depends on the quality of the water and the
frequency with which you use the appliance. The appliance must be descaled at least
once a year or after 50 hours of use.
• To carry out a descaling operation, follow the following steps:
1. Ensure that the appliance has cooled down completely (2 hours minimum).
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it on the main unit
allowing water to fill the boiler.
3. Remove the water tank from the base and empty out the water via the water tank
