FABRIC STEAMING

CAUTION: When steaming any material for the rst time, it is recommended that you test

on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on synthetic fabrics such as

100% nylon or polyester, or other steam-sensitive materials.

NOTE: Be sure the Boiler has already been lled before following these steps (refer to

Page 6 for details).

1. Plug power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2. After approximately 1 minutes, steam will begin emitting from Steam Nozzle.

3. Direct Steam Nozzle towards fabric material you wish to steam. See below for additional tips

and procedures.

CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle is pointed in a safe direction (away from

yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.

Steaming garments:

• Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.

• Direct Steam Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside

of material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Steam Nozzle upward from bottom to top

ofgarment.

• Direct Steam Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free hand.

• Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.

General steaming tips:

• For most effective results, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2” of fabrics, or press it directly

against surfaces.

• Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.

• To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or

towel rack and gently steam them.

• Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.

• To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.

• Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by heat or

water spotting.

• To sanitize a fabric, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2 inch of a single area for at least 5

seconds. Use caution when doing this on more delicate fabrics.

When you are nished using your Travel Fabric Steamer, immediately unplug power cord from

electrical outlet. Refer to Storage & Care guidelines on Page 8 of this manual for proper

storage and maintenance procedures.

PROPER STORAGE

Preparing your Travel Fabric Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you have nished

your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.

1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.

2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).

3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap. Drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub, then

add 1 oz. water. Shake to release mineral buildup and empty tank to minimize potential

mineral build-up. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.

4. Bundle power cord loosely.

5. Store Travel Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location.

MINERAL BUILD-UP

A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high

mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit to

spew water, limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your Travel Fabric Steamer.

The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when

using your Travel Fabric Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the Boiler be cleaned

at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will help to extend the

life of your Travel Fabric Steamer and keep it functioning at its maximumpotential.

Maintenance:

After EACH USE, allow unit to cool, add 1 oz. water, shake to release mineral buildup and

empty tank.

To remove mineral build-up:

1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during cleaning procedure.

2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).

3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain any water remaining in Boiler into a sink or tub.

4. Using a measuring cup, measure 2 oz. (59 ml.) of vinegar.

5. Slowly pour vinegar into Boiler.

6. Allow vinegar to soak in Boiler for 30-40 minutes.

7. Drain vinegar from Boiler into a sink or tub. Rell Boiler with fresh water, drain and repeat

until vinegar odor dissipates.

8. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.

9. Bundle power cord loosely and store Travel Fabric Steamer in a cool, dry location.
