P RODUCT I NFORMATION
• The Wall-Mounting Base (1) attaches to the wall as a permanent station for mounting the
Base Unit, saving space and providing quick, convenient access to the SF-432.
• The Base Unit (2) is the main body of the SF-432, housing the water reservoir which is
accessed for filling via the Water Reservoir Inlet.
• The Water Reservoir Inlet (3) serves as the opening through which water is poured into
the water reservoir. The Water Reservoir Cap must be removed in order to access the
Inlet.
• The Water Reservoir Cap (4) covers the Water Reservoir Inlet, keeping water contained
safely inside the water reservoir.
• The Water Level Windows (5) provide a convenient view into the water reservoir,
allowing the remaining water level to be easily monitored.
• The Lighted On/Off switch (6) activates and deactivates the unit, and provides a clear
visual indication of whether or not the unit is powered on.
• The Steam Nozzle Hanger (7) provides a safe and convenient place to hang the Steam
Nozzle when not in use.
• The Steam Nozzle (8) emits a flow of hot, penetrating steam when the Steam Button is
pressed.
• The Heating Indicator Light (9) illuminates when the unit is turned on, indicating that the
heater is active. The Light will deactivate once the Ironing Plate is heated, then cycle on
and off during use as the unit works to maintain a constant temperature.
• The Steam Button (10) is pressed in order to control the flow of steam from the Steam
Nozzle.
• The Handle (11) is designed to stay relatively cool while providing the optimum level of
safety and user comfort.
• The Ironing Plate (12) functions similar to a conventional iron, and is designed for
making crisp creases.
• The Steam Hose (13) carries water from the water reservoir in the Base Unit to the boiler
in the Steam Nozzle for conversion into steam.
• The Fabric Brush (14) connects to the Steam Nozzle, above the Ironing Plate, and is
designed to work with steam in order to remove lint and gently smooth stubborn wrinkles.
• The Measuring Cup (15) assists you in easily and consistently filling the water reservoir
with the optimum amount of water (32 oz. / 950 ml.)

STEAMING LINENS & FABRICS
NOTE: Be sure that water reservoir has already been filled and, if desired, the Fabric
Brush is connected before following these steps.
1. For first-time use, remove protective plastic cover that is shipped on electrical plug.
Plug power cord into a convenient 3-prong electrical outlet.
CAUTION: This unit uses a grounded (3-prong) electrical plug. Use only in
properly installed 3-prong electrical outlets. Do not attempt to alter plug or
circumvent this safety feature in any way.
2. Set Lighted On/Off Switch to “On” position, and verify that switch is illuminated. The
Heating Indicator Light will illuminate, indicating that the heater is active.
3. After approximately 45-50 seconds of heating time, Heating Indicator Light will
deactivate. Ironing Plate should now be heated, and the unit is now ready to begin
producing steam.
NOTE: During use, Heating Indicator Light may cycle on and off. This is normal,
as the unit works to maintain a constant, appropriate temperature.
4. Point Steam Nozzle at material you wish to steam, then press and hold Steam Button.
After a few seconds, Steam Nozzle will begin producing a flow of steam.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle is pointed in a safe direction (away
from yourself, other people, pets and plants) before pressing Steam Button.
NOTE: When unit is first turned on, Steam Button must be held for approximately
10 seconds before steam flow will begin. This is because water must be pumped
from water reservoir into Steam Nozzle. After this, steam flow will be near
instantaneous when Button is pressed.
5. Keep the flow of steam focused on material you are steaming. Using a slight back-and-
forth motion over area you are steaming will further enhance the process.
GENERAL STEAMING TIPS
• Curtains and draperies may be steamed while still hanging.
• To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or
towel rack and gently steam them.
• Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to effectively remove wrinkles.
• To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles steam both sides of fabric.
• For additional assistance in removing tough wrinkles, or to remove lint and other
particles, attach Fabric Brush to Steam Nozzle (see Connecting the Fabric Brush
section on page 9 of this manual).
