Question: I plug the steamer in to the outlet but
nothing happens? There seems to be no power.

Answer:
The steamer has a safety plug, when connecting the power
cord to the steamer for the first time make sure the plug
is pushed all the way in. At first the plug will stop,
but when pushed firmly the plug will go an extra half
inch in to the steamer.
If connected correctly it will make clicking noise (This
will happen only in the first use).

plastic provided and put 3 scoops of salt in to the water
container.

plug with the power cord connected. The steam should
now start clicking, this means it is working now.

brown water from the steam
outlet.

Answer:
Brown water coming out from the steam outlet is caused by
either too much water or to much salt. Read over the
instruction pamphlet and make sure that you use the right
amount of salt, and make sure that when refilling the
steamer you fill the water one inch below the measuring
line.
Remember for getting practical with the steamer takes
time. Don't get frustrated if the first or second time
aren’t that easy. |
