HOW TO STEAM

Fabric care professionals know and appreciate the value of steam for gently de-wrinkling all type of fabrics. Fabric steaming is fast and safe, and has a myriad of applications including clothing, upholstery, (auto and home) window fashions, and linens. Your Reliable G4/G4m fabric steamer has been designed to provide the best quality steam for these tasks. Here are a few tips:

1.It is important to make sure that the steam hose is in an upright (vertical) position so that any condensation can flow back to the steamer. If you do have to steam in a low position it is suggested that you frequently lift the steam head up so that the hose is extended.

2.For very long articles light pants or coats, it might be helpful to put the garment on a hanger and place the hanger on the top of a doorframe (or any high shelf that would accommodate a hanger).

3.This will allow you to steam higher up, and reduce the chance of condensation forming in the steam hose.

4.It may be helpful to gently pull the bottom of the garment (hem) to allow the steam to penetrate the fabric and release the wrinkles. This may be particularly useful at the seam of a garment.

5.It is not necessary to “push” the steam head onto the fabric. Lightly touching the material is all that is usually needed. For fabrics with a nap (corduroy, velvet, velour), the brush that is included with the G4 model is very helpful for refreshing the fabric while protecting the nap of the fabric.
