Do not use the steamer in a horizontal position like an iron, do not use an ironing board. The diffuser head must be kept in a vertical position to avoid condensation in the hose and to obtain an optimal steam diffusion. When the tank is full, press the start button. Steam appears after 1 minute of preheating: however, to avoid condensation, we recommend to let the soleplate heat up for 2 minutes. Place your garment on a hanger, button it and hang it on the built-in hanger. Hold the bottom of your garment to tighten the fabric and pass the diffusion head touching the fabric so that the steam goes through the fibers and relaxes them. Do not hesitate to remove your clothes from the telescopic rod. For shirt sleeves and collars, use the accessory provided for this purpose. Repeat the operation as many times as necessary, without any risk for your fabrics.
