Water and Water Quality
Water quality is a true science of its own. The most important aspect for a steamer is
that the water is as clean and pure as possible; all in order to minimize the risk of getting
residues left in the steamer's heating device.
We strongly recommend:
•
First and last and always, use bottled or filtered water, i.e. water meant for drinking
(this will radically prolong the lifetime of your steamer)
•

•
Distilled water
•
Deionized water, such as battery water
We recommend (with some words of advice):
•
The steamer runs well on regular tap water
(However, tap water always contains a certain amount of limestone and minerals.
Even though the steamer has an inside coating that makes it withstand residues, it
may eventually compromise the quality of your steamer. Also, tap water comes in so
many different qualities that it makes it impossible to guarantee a long and steady
performance of the steamer, not knowing what kind of water you are using.)
•
Ironing water
(There are many products out there; some of them are very good – some of them can
be harmful to a steamer. Always avoid the scented ones. Since we cannot guarantee
the purity of other brand's products, we cannot recommend them without caution.)
We DO NOT recommend:
•
Don't use scented and perfumed steaming water, it will clog the steamer and
eventually make it stop working properly
•
Never use other fluids than water
•
Don't add detergents or cleaning products
Using Your Cirrus No.2 Steamer
1.
Turn on the steamer by putting the plug into a power outlet and wait 20–25 seconds
until red light turns off and the green light comes on. This indicates that the steam has
reached the right temperature for use. Do not press the steam button before the green
light comes on.
2.
While steaming, if the red light goes on, wait a few seconds without pressing the
button. The steam needs to reach the right temperature again.
3.
When using the device for the first time, test run the steamer on an old cloth, as there
may still be dry powder sediment left in the steamer from the manufacturing process.
4.
Steam your preferred garment by putting it on a hanger and move the nozzle over
the fabric at the same time as you press the steam button to spray steam on to the
garment. Point the steamer so the steam jets away from you. Do not use the steamer
for more than 30 minutes continuously. If you wish to use your steamer for more than
30 minutes, let it cool off for one hour in between uses.
5.
THE STEAM IS HOT! To avoid burns, make sure to always wear
the heat resistant glove/bag.Wear the heat protection glove/
bag on the opposite hand of the one with which you hold the
steamer.
6.
Always unplug the steamer from the power outlet when not in
use. Do also empty the water container after use. Steamery
does not take any responsibility for wet damaged surfaces,
bags or other possessions.
7.
The heat protection bag is ideal for storage and travel.
