TROUBLE SHOOTING
Below is a chart detailing the most common problems, their causes and solutions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). 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 to
install the proper outlet. Do not modify
the plug in any way.

from the bottom of the garment
allowing the escaping steam to rise
inside and out side removing the
wrinkles. (See fig. 10)
5. After a few seconds, remove
the steam diffuser from the
garment and smooth the garment
with your free hand and check to
see if more steam is required.
Note: Do NOT leave the steam
diffuser in one area for a long period of
time because the garment will get wet.
openings. Try not to point the nozzle
downwards, water may condense in
the hose during idle periods and drip
from the nozzle.
Important: If you wish to leave your
steamer ready for use on a daily
basis, simply leave the water bottle
filled and in place. While you do not
have to empty the water bottle each
day, you should periodically empty the
old water out of the steamer and
remove any sediment that has
accumulated. We recommend that
you empty and clean it once a month
depending on amount of use and
water mineral content in your area.
3. The garment rod has a convenient
hook shaped end for resting the
nozzle end of the hose. It can be
extended and retracted by adjusting
the telescopic rod in its sleeve.
4. The On/Off switch button can be foot
activated to turn the power “ON” or
“OFF”.
Fig. 10
5. The ready light (green) comes on
when the unit is turned “ON”.
Important: For heavier fabrics, you
may need to use repeated
applications. Avoid heating a single
area with steam for a prolonged
period. Check the garment to see
that the process is succeeding.
6. The water tank is removable for easy
filling and is see through for easy
monitoring of the water level. The
screw cap is fitted with a one way
valve to ensure drip free replacement
of the water tank when refilling.
7. The Garment Steamer base houses
the reservoir, water tank, hose
attachment and adjustable garment
rod.
Safety Thermostat
Should your unit run out of water, the safety
thermostat will trip in order to prevent
damage to the unit. To reset, unplug unit,
refill water tank, re-plug unit into wall outlet
and depress On/Off switch. This will reset
the thermal protector circuit.
Step 4: Maintenance & Storage
1. Turn the unit “Off”. The power on
light (green) will go out. Disconnect
the plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Wait for garment steamer to cool
down completely for at least 30
minutes before draining the water
tank.
