Usage Features
Preparation Work:
- Hang the garment to be ironed.
- Add water to the water tank. To prolong the product's service life, it is recommended to use purified or distilled water. Ensure the water cap is tightened to prevent leaks.
- Place the water tank back into the main body of the steamer and power on the device.
Turning On and Ironing:
- Upon powering on, the green indicator light will flash for approximately 40 seconds during the warm-up phase. Once the green indicator light remains steady without flashing, the steamer is ready for use.
- Press the steam button to start steaming.
- The blue light indicates low power steam, while the red light indicates high power steam.
- To stop the steam, press the steam button again.
Accessories:
The steamer comes with a brush attachment (x1). The fur brush is buckled into the ironing head, with the buckle at the upper end fastening tightly to the bulge at the top of the ironing head. It can be removed in the reverse direction. Users are advised to mount or remove the fur brush only when the ironing head is cooled to avoid scald burn risk.
Safety Cautions during Use:
- Never use the appliance for any purpose other than ironing clothes.
- Avoid using other high-power electric appliances on the same socket to prevent circuit overload.
- Do not dismantle or repair the appliance yourself; this should only be done by qualified personnel or authorized repair agencies.
- Always check the plug and power cord for damage before use. If damaged, replacement must be conducted by the manufacturer or its service agent.
- Switch off the appliance before inserting or pulling off the plug. Hold the plug, not the power cord, and avoid operating with wet hands.

- Do not add perfume, vinegar, detergents, or other chemicals to the water tank, as this may stain clothes and damage the iron.
- Keep the appliance out of reach of babies or disabled individuals.
- During operation, avoid directing the iron head towards people to prevent scalds from steam splashing.
- The iron produces high-temperature steam, which may cause deformation or discoloration of heat-sensitive fabrics (e.g., fur clothing). Do not use it on such materials.
