while it is plugged into an 
electrical outlet. 

2

   Open the water cap and hold 

the the garment steamer

fill the water tank to the Max 
Fill line. Be careful not to

place, making sure it closes 
firmly (

). 

 

 NOTE:

 The water tank does not 

have to be completely full for 
the fabric steamer to generate 
steam. However, make sure 
that the water tank is at least 
half way full for optimal results.

Practice makes perfect! 
It takes time to master 
the garment steaming 
techniques.

For best results, tilt the 
steamer forward slightly 
and press the wrinkle 
eraser directly on the 
garment.
