CARE AND STORAGE GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
PROPER STORAGE
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.
Preparing your Wrinkle-Free Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you
have finished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.
1. Unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet.
2. Allow unit to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
3. Remove all attachments from unit.
9. In order to unplug TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer, grasp plug and pull
smoothly and firmly from outlet. DO NOT attempt to unplug unit by pulling or
tugging on cord.
4. Drain any remaining water in Water Reservoir into a sink or tub to minimize
potential mineral build-up. Loosely reattach Water Reservoir Cap. Do not
tighten cap, as it may be difficult to remove the next time you use the unit.
10. Use care when using TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer at an angle. Tilting
unit more than 35 degrees in any direction may cause excess water to spray out
of steam nozzle.
5. Store all attachments, preferably near Wrinkle-Free Steamer.
11. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam. Use care
when you turn a steam appliance upside down - there may be hot water in Water
Reservoir.
6. Store Wrinkle-Free Steamer in a cool, dry location.
12. TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer is only meant to be used with recommended
TI150 accessories. Other types of attachments are not to be used with
Wrinkle-Free Steamer. Doing so may cause injuries or damage to unit.
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:
13. Nozzle and attachments become hot during use. To avoid injuries, DO NOT
touch nozzle while using this appliance. DO NOT attempt to change
attachments while unit is emitting steam.
1. Unplug grounded power cord from electrical outlet and allow unit to
completely cool.
2. Remove all attachments from unit.
3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain water from Water Reservoir into sink
or tub.
14. When filling your Wrinkle-Free Steamer with water, DO NOT fill Water
Reservoir with more than 7 oz. of water. Only water should be used in unit.
Other cleaning agents will damage unit and can cause injuries.
4. Using a measuring cup, make a mixture of 4 oz. vinegar and 4 oz. water.
5. Slowly pour water-vinegar solution into Water Reservoir.
6. Allow to stand for 40 minutes.
15. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when filling with water or
emptying, and when not in use.
7. Drain water-vinegar solution from Water Reservoir.
8. Rinse Water Reservoir with fresh water, drain and repeat until vinegar odor
dissipates.
16. DO NOT operate unit if steam opening is blocked. Should this occur,
immediately cease usage and unplug from electrical outlet.
9. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.
17. Store your TI150 Wrinkle-Free Steamer in a cool, dry place.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
USING THE WRINKLE-FREE STEAMER
STEAMING LINENS & FABRICS
The following features and accessories are included with your Fabric Steamer. Carefully
inspect packaging material for all parts and accessories before discarding.
NOTE: Be sure that Water Reservoir has already been filled before following
these steps. Also be sure that Rubber Accessory Housing is connected along
with the Fabric Brush or Lint Remover, to reduce excessive water spitting from
the Steam Nozzle.
1. Plug grounded power cord into a convenient electrical outlet. Heater Indicator
Light will immediately illuminate to indicate that unit is heating up.
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. After approximately 2 minutes of heating time, unit will begin emitting steam.
3. Direct Steam Nozzle (and any attachments) towards material you wish to steam.
CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle and any other attachments
are pointed in a safe direction (away from yourself, other people, pets and
plants) when steam is being emitted.
4. Keep the flow of steam focused on the material you are steaming. Using a slight
back-and-forth motion over the area you are steaming will further enhance the
process.
Steaming Tips:
- Curtains and draperies can 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 achieve desired results.
- To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.
- Be especially careful when steaming delicate fabrics and those likely to be
damaged by water spotting.
STEAMING GARMENTS
1. Place garment on a clean, rust-free hanger.
UNIT FEATURES & ACCESSORIES
2. Direct Steam Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside
and outside of fabric, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Steam Nozzle upward
from bottom to top of garment.

WRINKLE-FREE STEAMER
PRODUCT INFORMATION
USING THE WRINKLE-FREE STEAMER
FILLING WATER RESERVOIR WITH WATER
• The Steam Nozzle (1) emits a flow of hot, penetrating steam.
• The Water Reservoir Cap (2) safely contains steam within the Water Reservoir,
and must be removed in order to fill the unit with water.
1. Place Wrinkle-Free Steamer on a flat, level surface.
2. Make sure grounded power cord is unplugged from electrical outlet.
3. If unit has been in use, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes.
• The Heater Indicator Light (3) illuminates when the unit’s heater is active.
• The Handle (4) is designed to stay relatively cool while providing the optimum
amount of safety and user comfort.
• The Reservoir Level Window (5) lets the user clearly see how much water is in
the Water Reservoir. It should not be filled above the MAX (7 oz.) fill line.
• The Water Reservoir (6) is the tank in which water is stored for use by the unit.
• The Rubber Accessory Housing (7) is used for connecting the Lint Remover and
Fabric Brush to the Steam Nozzle. Connecting the Rubber Accessory Housing
along with the Fabric Brush or Lint Remover is required and will reduce excessive
water spitting from the Steam Nozzle.
WARNING: Always allow unit to cool before adding water. Cold water
added to a hot boiler may cause hot water and steam to shoot out of fill hole.
4. Cautiously unscrew and remove Water Reservoir Cap.
5. Carefully fill Water Reservoir with water from a faucet or cup. Pay attention to
water level in Water Reservoir using Reservoir Level Window on side of unit,
and fill up to the MAX (7 oz.) fill line.
NOTE: To prolong the life of your Wrinkle-Free Steamer, we recommend
using distilled or de-mineralized water.
• The Fabric Brush (8) fits into the Rubber Accessory Housing and delicately
smoothes wrinkles from fabrics.
• The Lint Remover (9) fits into the Rubber Accessory Housing, and is useful for
removing lint and loose threads from fabrics.
WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when pouring water into the
Water Reservoir. Do not look directly down into fill hole when filling. Keep
your free hand and any children or pets at a safe distance.
NOTE: Do not exceed the MAX fill line. Too much water in the Water
Reservoir may cause excess water spitting in steam.
9. Replace Water Reservoir Cap, using care not to over-tighten it.
ATTACHING ACCESSORIES
1. Choose either the Lint Remover or Fabric Brush and insert it into Rubber
Accessory Housing as shown (FIGURE 1).
2. Slide Rubber Accessory Housing (with inserted accessory) onto Steam Nozzle as
shown ( FIGURE 2). Make sure that holes on Steam Nozzle are aligned with
open slot on Rubber Accessory Housing so that steam is not blocked.
NOTE: The steamer should only be used with these accessories attached
to help reduce water spitting.
