6. Do not carry this appliance by the supply
cord or use cord as a handle.
7. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not allow cord to contact heated surfaces.
Do not pull or twist cord. Let appliance cool
completely before putting away. Loop cord
loosely around appliance when storing.
8. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature, 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. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
9. Never drop or insert any object into any
opening.
10. Do not use outdoors. Do not operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or
where oxygen is being administered.
11. We recommend you do not use an extension
cord to operate this appliance. If an extension
cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 ampere
rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken
to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
12. Surfaces of this appliance may be hot when
in use. Do not let heated surfaces touch eyes or
bare skin.
13. Always disconnect appliance from electrical
outlet when filling with water or emptying,
and when not in use.
14. To disconnect, turn all controls to the OFF
position, then remove plug from outlet.
15. Never steam clothes you, or someone else,
are wearing.
16. While emitting steam, this appliance may
cause burns if it is used too close to the skin,
scalp or eyes, or if it is used incorrectly. To
reduce the risk of contact with hot water
emitting from steam vents, test appliance
before each use by holding it away from body.
17. Do not operate steamer without properly
filling the water container. Steamer needs to
cool down before refilling with water.
18. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet.
Depress the ON/OFF button to turn steamer
OFF. With dry hands, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
19. Burns could occur from touching hot parts,
hot water, or steam. Use care when you turn a
steam appliance upside down – there may be
hot water in reservoir.
20. Do not hold hand in front of steam.
21. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the garment steamer for
the first time, it is recommended to operate
the steamer for approximately 5 minutes.
Turn off and unplug the unit and allow it to
cool. Empty container and refill before use.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
HOW TO USE
1. Be sure garment steamer is unplugged.
2. While holding main body of steamer, twist
steamer head counterclockwise and lift it to
remove.
3. For best results, fill reservoir with distilled
water to max fill line. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Replace steamer head on steamer body,
twisting clockwise into locked position.
5. If steam is spitting or dripping, this indicates
that there may be too much water in the unit. For
the best performance, we recommend filling the
reservoir with less water.
6. Place appliance on a flat surface in an
upright position. Plug into electrical outlet.
Press ON button. The green POWER light will
illuminate.
7. In about a minute, the unit will begin to emit a
continuous fl ow of steam from the steam vents.
The garment steamer is now ready for use.
8. Hold steamer by its handle when using.
Do not grasp body of unit while steaming
garments or while unit is hot.
9. Hold fabric taut, and direct the flow of steam
toward the garment to remove wrinkles. Do not
touch fabric with steam head.
10. Approximate runtime is 5 minutes per fill-up.
11. For best results, maintain an upright position
when in use. Recommended steaming time is 5
minutes per use.
DECALCIFICATION
If the appliance begins to produce steam
more slowly than usual or stops producing
steam and then starts again, you may need to
decalcify your steamer. Decalcification refers to
removing the calcium deposits that form over
time on the metal parts of the steamer. For best
performance of your Conair
®
Fabric Steamer,
decalcify the unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the Steamer.
NOTE: To reduce or eliminate the occurrence
of mineral buildup, we recommend the use of
distilled water in the unit.
To decalcify, use a solution of ¹∕
³
white vinegar
and ²∕
³
water in the water reservoir. Plug the
unit into an electrical outlet. Turn to the ON
position and run until half the amount has
steamed out. Turn the unit to the OFF position,
unplug from electrical outlet, and allow to sit for
30 minutes.
Remove excess water from the reservoir by
unscrewing the top of the steamer and holding
it over the sink, allowing the water to pour
from the internal reservoir. Repeat the above
procedure as many times as necessary until a
normal steam rate returns, usually 2–3 times.
With each repeated cycle, use a fresh solution
of vinegar and water. Run one cycle of fresh,
cold water through the unit at the completion
of decalcification before using the unit again to
steam garments.
HOW TO STEAM TO REMOVE WRINKLES
Grasp the garment steamer by the handle with
the steam jets facing away from you. Begin
at the bottom of the fabric to allow the steam
to rise inside and outside, removing wrinkles.
Slowly move the nozzle from the bottom to the
top of the fabric. Some fabrics are best steamed
on the underside of the material. This will allow
the fibers of the fabric to relax, eliminating
wrinkles. NOTE: Test fabric for color fastness
in an inconspicuous spot. Drape linens, towels,
handkerchiefs and ties over a rod or place
on a towel rack. Heavier fabrics may require
repeated steaming. Repeat as necessary. With
practice, you will gain speed and efficiency. You
will soon learn which fabrics require multiple
steam applications. Do not directly touch fabric
with the steam head.
TO STEAM GARMENTS OR DRAPES
1. Hang up garment/drapery.
2. Gently hold fabric taut with one hand and
hold steamer with the other hand. Hold steamer
near the garment/drapery so that steam
is directed toward it. Use only in vertical
position.
3. Slowly run the steam head up and down and
side to side. To remove stubborn wrinkles, move
the garment steamer very slowly.
TO MAKE CREASES OR PLEATS
1. Hang garment.
2. Fold fabric where crease or pleat is desired. Hold
fold in place while applying steam directly to fold.
TO STEAM SHOULDERS AND SLEEVES
1. Hang garment, preferably on a padded hanger.
2. Fill out shoulders or sleeves with folded
towel.
3. Apply steam to garment.
CAUTION: If hanging garment on a
door while steaming, be careful not
to damage the door with steam.
TO KILL BEDBUGS OR DUST MITES
Steam is a contact killer that can kill dust
mites, bedbugs and eggs. It must hit bugs
directly. When steaming to kill bedbugs, areas
to concentrate on are seams, edges, and folds
in the fabric. Direct the steamer nozzle about
half of an inch from the fabric to be steamed.
Hold the steamer head at a minor angle up off
of the surface. Do not hold fl ush against the
surface. Move at about an inch per second and
steam the entire area that is infested. Check the
surface behind the steamed section after
steaming. The surface should be warm to the
touch. If it’s cool, you’re moving too fast. Move
the steamer head from top to bottom of the
object you’re steaming. (Steam rises!) Be
cautious of surfaces that you can’t steam, such
as fi nishes on furniture, leather, certain paints.
Test on an inconspicuous area before steaming
the entire object. NOTE: You may have to repeat
the process for best results.
