IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been supervised/
instructed and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not
be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
Use and store the appliance out of reach of children under 8 years.
Between uses, the steamer must be rested on a stable, level, heat-
resistant surface.
Don’t leave the appliance unattended while plugged in, or while it’s
resting between uses.
Unplug the appliance before lling, before cleaning, and after use.
Don’t operate the appliance if it’s dropped or damaged, or if it
malfunctions or leaks.
If the cable is damaged, return the appliance in order to avoid a
hazard.

b Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels containing water.
• Never use anything except water to ll or clean the appliance.
• Never steam clothing that is being worn.
• Never aim steam directly at people, animals or plants. Steam is hot and can cause serious
burns and scalds if used without care.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Remove labels, stickers and packaging from the appliance.
• Read all instructions and warnings.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• For best performance, we recommend using distilled, puried or ltered water in your
steamer. Tap water contains minerals that can build up inside your steamer over time and
reduce its eciency or even cause damage.
• Never use perfumes, oils or other additives.
• Always check the garment’s care label before steaming, and always test fabrics for
colourfastness in an inconspicuous area. Steamers are not recommended for use on leather,
suede, vinyl, plastic, or other materials that are sensitive to steam.
• During use the steamer and accessories will become HOT. Never try to t or remove
attachments while still hot.
• After preheating, prime the water pump by holding the steam trigger until steam forms.
• It is normal to feel or hear the water pump inside the device. It may become louder when
the water level in the tank is low. Check and rell the tank when required.
• Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, your steamer needs time to
get back up to full temperature. Just allow the steamer a minute to reheat.
• Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or steaming can actually create wrinkles. Always
allow the clothing to cool for about 5 minutes before wearing.
ATTACHMENTS
Your steamer has three attachments:
Lint attachment Use on garments labelled kl that allow the use of steam.
Tip: The pad on the attachment helps remove lint, hair, and animal
fur.
Delicate attachment Use on garments labelled jthat allow the use of steam.
Tip: For items with printing/embellishment, turn the garment inside
out to avoid damage to sensitive areas.
Upholstery attachment Use to sanitise and refresh bedding, mattresses, curtains, plush toys,
furniture, and hard surfaces (such as worktops or desks that are not
heat sensitive).
Always test for colourfastness and heat sensitivity on an
inconspicuous area.

2. Hook the top of the attachment over the top edge of the steamer.

FILLING
1. Place the steamer on its base on a stable surface.
2. Pull out the removable water tank (Fig. B)
3. Gently open the rubber cover at the top of the tank.
4. Fill until the water reaches the “MAX” level mark on the top of the tank (Fig. C). Do not
overll. Close the rubber cover securely.
5. Dry o any excess water from the tank then ret it into the base until it clicks.
• To rell at any time during use, turn the steamer o by pressing the power button until the
blue indicator light goes out, unplug from outlet, and follow the above procedure.
• After relling, allow to reheat for 45 seconds and then prime the pump by holding the
steam trigger until steam forms.
USING
• If the label says “do not iron” or shows this icon i, t the delicate attachment and make
sure to test on an inconspicuous area prior to steaming the entire garment.
• If the label says “do not steam” or shows this icon m, do not steam the garment.
1. Hang the garment in an area that will not be aected or damaged by the heat and steam,
such as on a shower curtain rail, or in an open doorway.
2. Fit any attachment you wish to use.
3. Plug the steamer in then press the power button. The blue power button light will slowly
ash, indicating that the steamer is heating.
4. After about 45 seconds the power light will stay on, indicating the steamer is preheated.
5. Prime the water pump by holding steam trigger until steam forms.
6. To generate steam, press the steam trigger. As long as the trigger is held, steam will emit
from the steamer. When the trigger is released, the steam will stop.
• To generate a constant ow of steam without holding the trigger, press the steam trigger
and then slide the steam trigger lock downwards. You can then release pressure on the
steam trigger. To turn the steam o, press the trigger, slide the steam trigger lock upwards,
then release the trigger.
7. With your free hand keep the fabric taut. Steam the garment with slow, downward strokes,
keeping the head of the steamer in contact with the fabric.
8. When you have nished, press and hold the power button until the blue light goes out
(about 3 seconds) and unplug.
9. Stand the steamer on its base and allow it to completely cool o before storing. To avoid
mineral buildup, empty the tank after each use.
Auto shut o
Your steamer will automatically switch to auto shut-o mode after being left inactive for 15
minutes. The power button light will ash rapidly to indicate this. To resume steaming, press the
steam trigger or power button and wait for your steamer to fully reheat.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure steamer is o, unplugged and completely cool.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
3. After the steamer has been thoroughly dried, turn it back on and lightly steam over an old
cloth. This will help remove any residue left in the steam holes.
4. To avoid mineral buildup, empty the tank after each use.
