FABRIC STEAMING
CAUTION: When steaming any material for the first 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 that Boiler has already been filled and any desired accessories are
connected before following these steps (refer to Page 6 for details).
1.
Plug power cord into a standard grounded electrical outlet. Heating Indicator Light will
immediately illuminate to indicate that unit is receiving power and Boiler has begun to heat.
2.
After approximately 2 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.
•
To remove small particles like lint, use the Lint Remover. For larger particles, especially hairs
and loose threads, the Fabric Brush is more effective.
When you are finished using your Compact Fabric Steamer, immediately unplug power cord from
electrical outlet. Refer to
