IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, especially
when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be taken, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
DANGER – Any appliance is electrically
live even when the switch is off.
To reduce the risk of death by electric shock:
1. Always unplug appliance immediately
after use and before cleaning.
2. Do not place or store appliance where it can
fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
3. Do not place in or drop into water or
other liquids.
4. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen
into water. Unplug immediately.
5. Use only in a dry area.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of
burns, electrocution, fire, or injury to persons:
1. This appliance should never be left
unattended when plugged in.
2. This appliance is not a toy and is not to be
used by children.
3. Close supervision is necessary when this
appliance is used near children or individuals
with certain disabilities. Unsupervised use could
result in fire or personal injury.
4. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual. Do not
use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
5. Rest the appliance on a stable surface when
placing on its base.
6. Never operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged,
or if it has been dropped into water. Do not
attempt to repair the appliance. Incorrect
reassembly or repair could cause a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when the appliance is used. Return the
appliance to an authorized service center for
examination and repair.
7. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.
Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around appliance when storing.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into
any opening.
10. Do not use outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
11. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15 ampere-rated cord should be used. Cords
rated for less amperage may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that the
cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance are hot when
in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes
or skin.
13. Do not place the steam nozzle directly on
any surface or on the appliance power cord
while it is hot or plugged in.
14. Unplug this appliance before filling or
emptying the water container and when not in
use.
15. Do not operate steamer without properly
filling the water container with distilled water.
16. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull
to disconnect.
17. Burns could occur from touching hot
surfaces, hot water, or steam. Use care when
removing water reservoir or when you turn a
steam appliance upside down – there may be
hot water in reservoir. Always position steamer
with head away from you and any other person
when turning on.
18. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
19. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
20. Use caution when installing or removing
an attachment, as it may contain hot water
from condensation. Ensure that the unit is off,
attachment is dry or cooled off to avoid contact
with hot water.
21. Never steam clothes you, or someone else,
are wearing.
22. When emitting steam, this appliance may
cause burns if it is used too close to the skin
or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To reduce
the risk of contact with hot water emitting from
the steam vents, test appliance before use by
holding it away from the body.

remains solid.
4. This steamer has a dry iron setting. Without
pressing the STEAM button, the soleplate of
the steamer will get hot to use as an iron.
5. The steamer has 4
steam settings. Press the

up to TURBO for use on
thicker fabrics and heavily
wrinkled articles.
6. Press the STEAM button to emit steam. Pick
up steamer and begin steaming, pointing the
jets away from you and anyone in the room.
NOTE: This steamer has a SMART TOUCH
SENSOR feature. Steam will not emit until

then move to the next area to be treated and
repeat.
ATTACHMENTS
CREASER ATTACHMENT -
Creates a crease in pants,
shirts, blouses and more.
DELICATES BONNET -
protects trims and safely steam
fine fabrics.
2-IN-1 ATTACHMENT
Silicone Band - pulls fabric
taut for better results.
Bristle Brush - ensures steam
penetrates fibers for a perfect
press, even on heavy fabrics.
USING ATTACHMENTS
With the garment steamer off and cool, snap
the Silicone Band, creaser or delicates bonnet
attachment over the steam head, ensuring it
is firmly affixed. At this point, for the 2-in-1
attachment, the Silicone Band can be used or
you can choose to affix either the Bristle Brush
insert into the channel on the top of the Silicone
Band attachment, as desired. NOTE: Only one
function of the 2-In-1 attachment can be used
at a time.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when changing
the attachments after the unit has been in
use, as the steam head will continue to be
hot.
STEAMING TIPS
1. First, test unit on an inconspicuous area of the
item to be steamed using the lowest STEAM
setting to ensure fabric can tolerate the effects
of steam. If there is no evidence of damage,
you can proceed to use the steamer on that
item.
2. To prepare your fabric for steaming, brush it
with the brush attachment. This will loosen the
fibers and allow better steam penetration.
3. Hang your garment or fabric. NOTE: Avoid
using metal clothes hangers, if possible.
CAUTION: If hanging garment on a door
while steaming, be careful not to damage
the door with steam.
4. Pass the steam jets just above the fabric
where the wrinkles are. It may take a few
passes to remove the wrinkles completely.
5. For heavier fabrics or severely wrinkled
fabrics, you may position the steamer head
directly on the fabric for a few seconds to
remove wrinkles. Be cautious when working
with delicate fabrics.
6. After use, turn unit off by depressing the
STEAM button. Then press the ON/OFF button
to the OFF position. With dry hands, unplug
your garment steamer from the outlet. Empty
any remaining water from the tank to avoid
leakage. BE SURE TO PRESS THE ON/OFF
BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION PRIOR TO
UNPLUGGING THE UNIT.
7. When steaming, always keep the unit in
motion. Do not continuously hold steamer
over one area or touch steamer jets directly
to fabric for more than a few seconds, as
this can cause damage, including shrinkage,
melting, or color shift on certain types of
material.
8. In the case of heavier, durable fabrics, such
as wool coats or bedding, the TURBO setting
and slower passes with the steamer may
be necessary to achieve desired results. As
always, start by testing on an inconspicuous
area of the item to be steamed, using the
regular steam setting to ensure fabric can
tolerate the effects of steam, and adjust your
technique as needed to obtain the results
desired.
