OPERATING YOUR UNIT
NOTE: Be sure that Water Tank has been filled (Page 9) and, if desired, the Fabric Brush or
Lint Remover is already connected (Page 8) before following these steps.
1.
For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is
shipped on electrical plug. Plug power cord into a convenient
3-prong electrical outlet (FIGURE 7-A).
CAUTION: This unit uses a grounded (3-prong) electrical
plug. Use only in properly installed 3-prong electrical
outlets. Do not attempt to alter plug or circumvent this
safety feature in any way.
2.
Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “ON” position (FIGURE 7-B),
and verify that switch is illuminated.
3.
Press and hold Steam Trigger. After approximately 45 seconds
of heating time, unit will begin producing a flow of steam from
Steam Nozzle.
IMPORTANT: From a cold start, it will always take
approximately 45 seconds for the unit to begin producing
steam. Subsequently, it will take only 1-2 seconds to
produce steam whenever the Steam Trigger is pressed.
NOTE: It is common for the unit to produce gurgling
sounds and small amounts of water during the first few
minutes of steaming. This is due to water condensation
inside cold Hose, and should dissipate as the Hose heats
up. Condensation may be removed more quickly by
pointing Steam Nozzle downward and shaking it to expel
excess water droplets through the nozzle.
4.
Once steam flow is steady and excess condensation has been
removed from Hose, you may proceed with your steaming
tasks. Refer to
Fabric Steaming
section on Page 11 for more
information about steaming garments and other fabrics.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle is pointed in
a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets
and plants) when steaming.
5.
When you are finished using the Contemporary Fabric Steamer,
immediately set Lighted On/Off switch to “OFF” position and
unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Refer to
Storage &
Care
on Page 12 for proper cleaning and storage procedures.
