READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Any appliance is electrically live even when switched off. To reduce risk of electrical shock:
1. Always unplug power cord from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, or
when not in use.
2. Do not place or store unit where it can fall or be pulled into a sink or tub.
3. Do not place in, or drop into water or other liquid.
4. If unit falls into water, immediately unplug power cord. Do not reach into the water.
WARNING
To reduce risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. Do not tamper with or modify this product in any way. The manufacturer assumes
no responsibility for damage or injury caused by failure to follow these instructions,
improper use, or unauthorized product modification. Any such actions will invalidate the
product warranty.
2. Use the Mid-Size Fabric Steam Press only for its intended purpose as indicated in
this manual.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, use a properly rated cord (15 ampere, 14 gauge). Use care
to position extension cord where it is least likely to be damaged or tripped over during use.
4. Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on
rating label agrees with your power supply.
5. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit as this unit.
6. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse unit in water or other liquids. Do
not use power cord as handle, let it hang over edges of counters, or be crimped or closed
in doors.
7. Never yank power cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull smoothly
to disconnect.
8. Do not operate unit with a damaged power cord or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair
the appliance; contact Steamfast Consumer Service for examination and repair. Incorrect
reassembly can cause a risk of electrical shock when unit is used.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock or injury, the following
basic safety precautions should always be followed when using an
electrical appliance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance uses a
grounded (three-pronged) plug. This plug will fit in a grounded wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not correctly fit in the outlet, contact a
licensed electrician to install a proper outlet. DO NOT attempt to modify
the plug or defeat this safety feature.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH |3
9. Close supervision is required for any appliance being used near children, pets and plants. Do
not leave unit unattended while plugged in.
10. This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

13. Do not attempt to use unit without properly filling with water.
14. When filling unit, only water should be used – other cleaning agents could damage unit or

before each use by positioning it away from body and turning it on. Do not operate unit if
Pressing Plate is blocked.
16. Burns can occur from touching hot parts, hot water, or steam. Do not touch Pressing Plate
or attempt to connect any accessories while unit is in use. Use caution when you turn unit

manufacturer’s guidelines for the fabric being steamed. For items in question, test on an
inconspicuous area before proceeding.

FILLING WATER RESERVOIR
1. Place Mid-Size Fabric Steam Press on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn Locking Knob to “Unlock” position to unlock Pressing Plate.
3. Lift up Pressing Plate using Handle. It will automatically stay in lifted position.
4. Pull Water Reservoir out. Note that Water Reservoir cannot be completely removed from
unit; do not attempt to force it free.
5. Using Measuring Cup (included), fill Water Reservoir up to the 150ml (5.07 oz) line
with water.
OPERATION
1. With Pressing Plate in lifted position, plug power cord
into electrical outlet, and set On/Off Switch to “On” (I)
position (FIGURE 1).
2. Identify type of fabric you are going to press, and select
corresponding temperature setting using Temperature
Control Dial. Note that it is best to start with the most
delicate fabrics first, as higher levels of heat will cause
damage to Nylon and Silk. Pressing Indicator Light
will illuminate.
3. A few minutes of heating time will be required to reach
selected temperature. Once Pressing Plate is heated,
Pressing Indicator Light will deactivate.You are now ready
to begin pressing.
4. Lay fabric flat on Ironing Board.
5. If pressing wool, cotton or linen you may choose to spray with a burst of steam. This function
is available once Steam Burst Ready Indicator Light illuminates.
NOTE: Do not activate burst of steam with unit completely closed, as this may damage
unit. Best results are obtained if Pressing Plate is held open approximately 3 in. (75 mm.)
above Ironing Board before pressing Steam Burst Button. For safety reasons, do not hold
Pressing Plate open more than 3 in. (75 mm.) when using steam burst function. Only use
burst of steam for 2-3 seconds for best results. If press is left on fabric for more than 10
seconds, it could result in damage to the fabric.
NOTE: When using the nylon or silk settings, no steam is produced.
6. To press, lower Pressing Plate gently onto fabric and Ironing Board. Hold there for 8-10
seconds, then lift up Pressing Plate. Repeat until you have achieved desired crease and
smoothness. See page 7 of this manual for more specific pressing tips.
7. Once pressing tasks are complete, immediately set On/Off Switch to “Off” (O) position and
unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Refer to page 8 of this manual for further
information about cleaning and storage of Mid-Size Fabric Steam Press.

• If you have older types of buttons or zippers, you may need to take special care to avoid
melting. In order to do so, place garment face-down and cover with Pressing Cushion
before pressing.
• Spray Bottle may be used to spray fabrics lightly. This will further help to remove
exceptionally stubborn wrinkles.
• Place a damp cloth over fabric before pressing, which will help with stubborn wrinkles or
heavy gauge fabrics.
• To press large pieces of fabric, place entire piece behind Ironing Board. Pull fabric towards
you, over Ironing Board, and lower Pressing Plate. Press fabric in sections until completed.
• Embroidery should be placed face down on Ironing Board to reduce wear and prevent
damage to delicate areas.
