Garment Steamer Usage and Safety

AppliancesClothing Care Appliances

A garment steamer is a common appliance in modern households for clothing care. It quickly removes wrinkles from clothes using high-temperature steam, is easy to operate, and yields excellent results. This guide will help you use your garment steamer safely and efficiently to care for your clothes.

This guide applies to all types of garment steamers, including upright and handheld models. Be sure to read this guide carefully before use and in conjunction with the instruction manual for your specific garment steamer.

Warning

  • When using a garment steamer, be careful of the high-temperature steam to avoid burns. Do not point the steam nozzle directly at people or pets.

  • When the garment steamer is working, the body will become hot. Do not touch the hot parts to avoid burns.

  • After use, be sure to unplug the power cord and wait for the garment steamer to cool completely before cleaning and storing it.

  • Do not use the garment steamer in a humid environment to avoid the risk of electric shock.

  • If the power cord is damaged, do not continue to use it. Replace it with a new power cord promptly.

Before using the garment steamer, check the clothing's fabric label to confirm whether it is suitable for steaming. For fabrics that are not resistant to high temperatures, such as silk and leather, it is recommended to use low-temperature steam or steam through a damp cloth.

Check the garment steamer's water tank and make sure there is enough water in the tank. Using purified or distilled water can reduce scale buildup and extend the life of the garment steamer.
