SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
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.
1. To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, DO NOT operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
2. Do not use unit with extension cords or electrical outlets that have inadequate current
capacity. A three-prong outlet or a properly grounded adapter is necessary when using
this unit.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a 10-ampere cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange cord so that it cannot be
pulled or tripped over.
4. Unit is only meant to be used with recommended SF-432 accessories. Using other types
of attachments may cause damage to unit or injury.
5. When filling water reservoir, do not exceed 32 oz. (950 ml.) of water. Only water
should be used in unit. Other cleaning agents could damage unit or cause injury.
6. When not in use while mounted to Wall-Mounting Base, make certain Steam Nozzle is
securely mounted on the Steam Nozzle Hanger. This will prevent it from being pulled
off by children or pets and potentially causing injury.

CLEANING IRONING PLATE
1. Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Remove Fabric Brush from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
3. Allow Ironing Plate time to cool down completely (at least 30 minutes) before cleaning.
4. Clean only the outside of unit using a damp cloth, with mild soap if desired. DO NOT place in
dishwasher.
5. Scale and other residue can be wiped off Ironing Plate with a damp cloth or non-abrasive pad.
6. Move Steam Nozzle over a clean cotton cloth to clean Ironing Plate and let remaining water on
Ironing Plate evaporate.
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. Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “Off” position and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
Allow unit to completely cool.
2. Remove Fabric Brush from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain remaining water from water reservoir into sink or tub.
4. Using Measuring Cup, make a mixture of 8 oz. (237 ml.) vinegar and 8 oz. (237 ml.) water.
5. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into water reservoir through Water Reservoir Inlet. Replace
Cap.
6. Plug unit in and allow to heat up. Press the Steam Button for several minutes to allow water-
vinegar solution to clear Steam Nozzle of mineral deposits.
7. Unplug unit and allow to cool before draining any remaining water-vinegar solution from water
reservoir.
8. Once water reservoir is empty, refill with 16 oz. (473 ml.) of fresh water and repeat STEP 7.
Repeat as necessary until vinegar odor dissipates.
9. Once odor is eliminated, make sure water reservoir is empty and replace Water Reservoir Cap.
PROPER STORAGE
Preparing your Fabric Steamer & Iron for storage is quick and simple. When you have finished
your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Set Lighted On/Off switch to “Off” position and unplug power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove Fabric Brush from Steam Nozzle (if connected).
4. Remove Base Unit from Wall-Mounting Base (if it is mounted), and drain any water remaining in
water reservoir into a sink or tub.
5. Mount Base Unit back onto Wall-Mounting Base, and wrap power cord around base. Place
Steam Nozzle onto Steam Nozzle Hanger.
6. Alternatively, store Base Unit (with Steam Nozzle) in a safe, convenient location.
