How to use

Fill the water tank with clean tap water up to the indicated level, secure it in place and plug the unit into a suitable mains socket. Switch the steamer on and wait for the device to reach operating temperature; the ready indicator or a short warm-up period will indicate when steam is available. Hold the steamer upright and guide the steam head along the fabric at a short distance or use direct contact if the model allows; work from top to bottom for even results. Empty the tank after extended use or before storage and allow the unit to cool down before handling or storing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the steamer on a hidden part of the fabric first, follow garment care labels regarding steam exposure, and use vertical steaming on hanging garments to minimize creasing. Regularly descale and rinse the water tank if you have hard water to maintain steam performance and extend the appliance’s service life.
