USING THE DIGITAL FABRIC STEAM PRESS  
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR  
1. Place Digital Fabric Steam Press on a flat, level surface.  
2. Turn Locking Knob to “Unlock” position to unlock Pressing Plate.  
3. Lift up Pressing Plate using Handle. It will automatically stay in lifted position.  
4. Pull Water Reservoir out. Note that Water Reservoir cannot be completely  
removed from unit; do not attempt to force it free.  
5. Remove Water Reservoir Cap to expose Water Reservoir fill hole.  
6. Using Measuring Cup (included), fill Water Reservoir up to the MAX (300 ml)  
line with distilled water.  
7. Replace Water Reservoir Cap and push filled Water Reservoir back into main  
unit.  
OPERATING DIGITAL FABRIC STEAM PRESS  
1. Plug power cord into electrical outlet, and set  
On/Off Switch to “On” position (FIGURE 1).  
2. Identify type of fabric you are going to press,  
and select corresponding temperature setting  
using Temperature Control Buttons. Note that it  
is best to start with the most delicate fabrics  
first, as higher levels of heat will cause damage  
to Nylon and Silk.  
3. Lay fabric flat on Ironing Board.  
4. Digital Fabric Steam Press is ready for use when  
Pressing Indicator Light deactivates. If pressing  
FIGURE 1  
wool, you may choose to spray with a burst of  
steam. This function is available once Steam  
Burst Ready Indicator Light illuminates.  
NOTE: Do not activate burst of steam with unit completely closed, as this may  
damage unit. Best results are obtained if Pressing Plate is held open approxi-  
mately 75 mm above Ironing Board before pressing Steam Burst Button. For  
safety reasons, do not hold Pressing Plate open more than 75 mm when using  
steam burst function.  
5. To press, lower Pressing Plate gently onto fabric and Ironing Board. Hold there  
for 8-10 seconds, then lift up Pressing Plate. Repeat until you have achieved  
desired crease and smoothness.  
6. Once pressing tasks are complete, immediately set On/Off Switch to “Off”  
position. Refer to page 9 of this manual for further information about cleaning  
and storage of Digital Fabric Steam Press.

USING THE DIGITAL FABRIC STEAM PRESS  
STEAM BURST

2. Press Steam Burst Button to release a burst of steam onto fabric.  
3. Lower Pressing Plate onto fabric, then raise once again.  
4. Repeat steps 1-3 above until fabric is smooth and wrinkle-free.  
PRESSING AND STEAMING TIPS  
Pressing Shirts and Blouses  
1. Place shoulder yoke on Ironing Board first and press.  
2. Next, place sleeves onto Ironing Board with fold parallel to long seam and press.  
3. Place cuffs onto end of Ironing Board and press.  
4. Place bottom of shirt behind Ironing Board. Begin by pressing the side with  
pocket. Pull shirt towards you as you press each section.  
5. Finish by pressing collar of shirt.  
Pressing Pants  
1. Place Pressing Cushion under waistband and press, repositioning waistband until  
completely pressed.  
2. To press inseam, place Pressing Cushion under area to be pressed.  
3. Place pleated area on Ironing Board. Carefully fold pleats and press.  
4. Embroidery should be placed face down on Ironing Board to reduce wear and  
prevent damage to delicate areas.  
Other Techniques  
- Placing Pressing Cushion between fabric and Pressing Plate may help with  
delicate fabrics.  
- Buttons and zippers. If you have older types of buttons or zippers, you may need  
to take special care to avoid melting. In order to do so, place garment face-down  
and cover with Pressing Cushion before pressing.  
- Spray Bottle may be used to spray fabrics lightly. This will further help to remove  
exceptionally stubborn wrinkles.  
- Place a damp cloth over fabric before pressing, which will help with stubborn  
wrinkles or heavy gauge fabrics.  
- To press large pieces of fabric, place entire piece behind Ironing Board. Pull  
fabric towards you, over Ironing Board, and lower Pressing Plate. Press fabric in  
sections until completed.

CARE AND STORAGE GUIDELINES  
AUTO SHUT-OFF  
The Auto Shut-Off feature of the Digital Fabric Steam Press includes both an  
Auto Shut-Off and an Auto Wake-Up. These multiple function safety features  
deactivate electrical power to the heater when the Pressing Plate has been left in  
closed position against the Ironing Board for more than 10 seconds. Heater  
deactivation is signaled by a beeping sound. Heater functionality is restored  
when the Pressing Plate is lifted back up.  
Power to the heater will also be cut if the Pressing Plate is left in the lifted  
position without use for approximately 15 minutes (signaled by a beeping sound  
for approximately 22 seconds). After the beeping sound has stopped, the heating  
ability of the unit can only be restored in by pressing the Temperature Control  
Buttons.  
IMPORTANT: Auto Shut-Off does not mean that power to the unit is  
totally cut off. Power is always on, and the Power Indicator Light will  
remain illuminated until On/Off Switch is set to “Off” position.  
CLEANING THE DIGITAL FABRIC STEAM PRESS  
1. Place Pressing Cushion in the middle of Ironing Board.  
2. Place a clean towel over Pressing Cushion and Ironing Board.  
3. Set Temperature Control Buttons to the highest setting (LINEN).  
4. When Steam Burst Ready Indicator Light illuminates, lower Pressing Plate  
onto Pressing Cushion.  
5. Press Steam Burst Button six times.  
6. Allow Pressing Plate to cool.  
7. Clean Pressing Plate with damp cloth. Do not use abrasive materials, as this  
may damage Pressing Plate.  
8. Ironing Board fabric cover is removable for cleaning. Hand wash only with  
mild detergent.  
PROPER STORAGE  
1. Once pressing is complete, immediately turn unit off and unplug power cord  
from electrical outlet.  
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).  
3. Lower Pressing Plate down, and turn Locking Knob to “Lock” position.
