HOW TO STEAM CONTINUED…
6. Some garments may react better if they are steamed from the inside.
7. Retail clothing stores know the advantage of having a garment steamer on
the sales floor, ready for quick touch ups to make the garment look like new
again. While you can easily store the G4/G4m when not in use (the water
should be drained from the unit if it will be stored for a long period of time)
the best way to use the steamer is like the pros. Have it in a convenient
spot where you will use it the most frequently. For some people that would be
in their laundry room, for others it’s in their bedroom. Because the G4/G4m
heats up so quickly (less than one minute) it is the perfect solution to the un-
wearable wrinkled blouse or sweater. Plug it in, turn it on, sixty seconds
later a few waves of the steam head and you are looking your best… everyday.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The G4/G4m is easy to use, and easy to set up.
1. The 3-piece rod set that holds up the steam head needs to be screwed
together. When done, place the rod set into the device that holds it in place.
2. With the supplied wrench, attach the hose to the body of the steamer and
tighten until it is snug.
3. The same wrench can also be used for tightening the device that holds the
rod set. The steam head can be placed in the upper portion of the rod set until
it is ready for use.
4. Remove the cap from the water bottle. Fill the water bottle with regular tap
or distilled water; replace the cap and turn invert the bottle, placing
it in the body of the steamer.
5. Always make sure there is water in the bottle. DO NOT ALLOW THE STEAMER TO
RUN DRY.
6. Turn the unit on, wait for about sixty seconds for the steam to start.
7. It is a good idea to periodically pour old water out of the steamer to avoid
mineral build-up.
NOTE: If rinsing the unit does not improve the performance, the steamer
may require more thorough cleaning. This must be done by an authorized service
center only, or the warranty will be void.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Do not operate the fabric steamer with a damaged cord, plug or if the steamer
has been dropped or damaged. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disas-
semble or attempt to repair the unit on your own. Return the unit to Reliable
Corporation (see warranty) for examination, repair or replacement.
