HOW TO STEAM
Grasp the T-nozzle steam nozzle with the steam
jets facing away from you. Begin at the bottom
of the fabric to allow the steam to rise inside
and outside, removing wrinkles. Slowly move
the nozzle from the bottom to the top of the
fabric. Remove the nozzle from the garment and
smooth the fabric with your free hand. Some
fabrics are best steamed on the underside of
the material. This will allow the fibers of the
fabric to relax, eliminating wrinkles.
NOTE: Test fabric for color fastness in an
inconspicuous spot. Drape linens, towels,
handkerchiefs and napkins over a rod or place
onto a towel rack.
Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming.
Repeat as necessary.
With practice, you will gain speed and
efficiency. You will soon learn which fabrics
require multiple steam applications.
Do not directly touch velvet or silk with the
steam head.
Always steam with hose in upright
position, so any condensation is free
to flow back into the steamer.
If you steam in a low position, condensation
will collect inside the hose. This will cause
gurgling and some water droplets to form near
the steam jets on the T-nozzle. To avoid this,
frequently lift the steam handle upward until
the hose is extended to its full height.
TO STEAM DRAPES
Wash and dry drapes as directed according to
fabric type. Re-hang drapes and steam drapes
when in place.
CLEANING AND STORING
I. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position
and unplug from the power source.
2. Wait for the steamer to cool completely for
at least 30 minutes.
3. Unplug power cord and gently wrap around
built-in cord wrap underneath.
4. Remove excess water from the reservoir by
lifting the unit and pouring down a drain.
5. Wrap hose around container and replace
T-nozzle in its cradle. (As shown)
DECALCIFICATION
If the appliance begins to produce steam
more slowly than usual, or if the steamer
stops producing steam and then starts again,
you may need to decalcify your steamer.
Decalcification refers to removing the calci-
um deposits that form over time on the metal
parts of the steamer. For best performance
from your Conair Fabric Steamer, decalcify
the unit from time to time. The frequency
depends upon the hardness of your tap water
and how often you use the steamer.
To decalcify, use a solution of 1/3 white vine-
gar and 2/3 water in the water reservoir. Plug
the unit into electrical outlet. Turn to the ON
position and run until half the amount has
steamed. Turn the unit to the OFF position,
unplug from electrical outlet, and allow to sit
for 30 minutes.
Remove excess water from the reservoir by
lifting the unit, inverting and pouring the water
over sink, and allowing water to drain from
internal reservoir. Repeat the above procedure
as many times as necessary until a normal
steam rate returns, usually 2–3 times. With
each repeated cycle, use a fresh solution of
vinegar and water. Run one cycle of fresh, cold
water through the unit at the completion of
decalcification before using the unit again to
steam garments.
