STEAMING TIPS AND TRICKS
• This steamer is designed to use distilled, purified, or filtered water. Tap
water contains minerals that build up. Using water with perfumes or
scented additives is also not recommended.
• Always test garments by steaming a small hidden area to make sure the
garment takes well to steam.
• Always read garment care label instructions. Fabrics suitable for mid to
high heat can be pressed with the ironing plate.
• Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If excessive, either
the steamer needs time to get back up to full temperature or there
could be a build-up of condensation on the ironing plate. Just allow the
steamer a minute to reheat, or gently wipe the ironing plate against the
ironing pad fabric to remove condensation.
• To prevent iron marks on fabric, turn garment inside out before using
the ironing plate. Sensitive items (such as items with embellishments)
should be steamed inside out as well to avoid damage.
• Putting on a garment immediately after ironing or steaming can actually
create wrinkles. Always allow clothing to cool for about 5 minutes after
ironing or steaming to set the press.
