IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
• To reduce the risk of contact with hot water emitting from steam vents, check
appliance before each use by holding it away from body and operating steam
button.
• Use steamer only for intended use.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the steamer in water or
other liquids.
• Always turn the unit off before plugging or unplugging the unit from the
electrical outlet.
• Never pull on the cord to disconnect from the electrical outlet; instead grasp
plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let steamer cool completely before
putting away. Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.
• Always unplug steamer from the electric outlet before filling with water,
emptying, or cleaning, and when not in use.
• Do not operate the steamer with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been
dropped or damaged, or if it is leaking. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not disassemble or attempt to repair the steamer; take it to a qualified service
person for examination and repair, or call the appropriate toll-free number in this
manual. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons when the steamer is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the steamer unattended while connected.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use care
when you turn a steam appliance upside down – there may be hot water in the
reservoir. Avoid rapid movement of steamer to minimize hot water spillage.
• To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
• If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a minimum 10-ampere rated cord
should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not use anything other than distilled water in the steamer while in use or
during cleaning.
• Never steam clothing while on a body.
• Never aim the steam directly towards people, animals or plants. The steam
is very hot and can results in burns. Burns can occur from touching hot parts
(including the steamer head and frames), hot water, or steam.
• This unit should be used in an upright position only. Never hold the steam head
down while at rest or tilt it as this may result in hot water discharge and possibly
injury.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliances by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The steamer should be used or placed on a flat, firm surface.
- When placing the steamer on the heel rest, make sure the surface
is flat and firm.
- The steamer should not be used if it has been dropped, damaged
or leaking.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty
department listed in these instructions.

GETTING STARTED
• Remove all labels, tags and stickers attached to the body, or
cord of the steamer and the plastic band around the power
plug.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/blackanddecker to
register your warranty.
• Read all the instructions before using your steamer.
• Use fresh distilled water only. DO NOT FILL PAST MAX LINE.
• Any water droplets visible inside the tank are from individual
quality control tests.
• Do not use perfumes, oils, or other additives.
• Always review the garment manufacturer’s care label
instructions before steaming. Test fabrics for colorfastness in
inconspicuous areas (such as an inseam). Do not use on
leather, suede, vinyl, or plastic.
• During use the steamer and accessories will become HOT.
Never try to fit or remove attachments while still hot.
• After preheating, prime the water pump by holding the steam
trigger until steam forms.
• It is normal to feel or hear the water pump inside the device.
It may become louder when the water level in the tank is low.
Check and refill the tank when required.
• Small amounts of dripping might occur during use. If
excessive, your steamer needs time to get back up to full
temperature. Just allow the steamer a minute to reheat.
• Wearing clothes immediately after ironing or steaming can
actually create wrinkles. Always allow the clothing to cool for
about 5 minutes before wearing.
