CARE AND STORAGE GUIDELINES
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Wrinkle-Free Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you
have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all attachments from unit.
4. Drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to minimize
potential mineral build-up. Loosely reattach Water Reservoir Cap. Do not
tighten cap, as it may be difficult to remove the next time you use the unit.
5. Store all attachments, preferably near Wrinkle-Free Steamer.
6. Store Wrinkle-Free Steamer in a cool, dry location.
REMOVING MINERAL BUILD-UP
A common problem with steam appliances is mineral build-up caused by high
mineral content in many municipal water supplies. The best way to avoid this
is to use de-mineralized or distilled water in unit. If you are unable to use de-
mineralized or distilled water, we recommend you use this procedure monthly to
help avoid mineral build-up:
1. Unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet and allow unit to
completely cool.
2. Remove all attachments from unit.
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain water from Water Reservoir into sink
or tub.
4. Using a measuring cup, make a mixture of 4 oz. vinegar and 4 oz. water.
5. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Reservoir.
6. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.
7. Drain water-vinegar solution from Water Reservoir.
8. Rinse Water Reservoir with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor
dissipates.
9. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance
has a three-pronged plug. This plug will fit in a polarized wall
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
contact a licensed electrician to install a proper outlet. DO NOT
attempt to modify the plug or defeat this safety feature.
9. In order to unplug TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer, grasp plug and pull
smoothly and firmly from outlet. DO NOT attempt to unplug unit by pulling or
tugging on cord.
10. Use care when using TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer at an angle. Tilting
unit more than 35 degrees in any direction may cause excess water to spray out
of steam nozzle.
11. Burns could 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 Water
Reservoir.
12. TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer is only meant to be used with recommended
TI150 accessories. Other types of attachments are not to be used with
Wrinkle-Free Steamer. Doing so may cause injuries or damage to unit.
13. Nozzle and attachments become hot during use. To avoid injuries, DO NOT
touch nozzle while using this appliance. DO NOT attempt to change
attachments while unit is emitting steam.
14. When filling your Wrinkle-Free Steamer with water, DO NOT fill Water
Reservoir with more than 7 oz. of water. Only water should be used in unit.
Other cleaning agents will damage unit and can cause injuries.
15. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.
16. DO NOT operate unit if steam opening is blocked. Should this occur,
immediately cease usage and unplug from electrical outlet.
17. Store your TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer in a cool, dry place.
