Tips
• We recommend checking the garment care label for manufacturer
recommendations. We also recommend testing the garment on an
unobtrusive area such as an inner seam.
• Read the recommendations for the maintenance of the fabrics on the
labels of the clothing to be steamed.
• Test the strength of the colour of the fabric on an area of the garment that
is not visible (inside of a hem).
• void contact between the steam head and silk or velvet.
• Certain garments are smoothed more easily on the reverse side.
• If you are using your steamer in a position close to the ground, raise the
hose frequently in order to avoid the formation of condensation. You may
hear a gurgling noise if the hose is obstructed in any way.
• Heavy fabrics may need to be steamed longer.
• Be careful at all times.
