This makes for a compact and durable unit with a pleasant design. Its special stainless steel base provides enhanced stability and safety when the unit is hot. The unit’s components will not rust and therefore, no foreign matter can enter the water or steam unintentionally, which helps to avoid injury to the skin. The Steam nozzle is fully adjustable, and independently moveable of steamer arm. The steamer is equipped with a programmable timer for treatment duration. Has an automatic water level detector, which alarms if over filled or runs low of water, helping to prevent water spraying if the water level in over filled. The unit will automatically cut-out to prevent damage by ‘overheating’ should the unit be left unattended or misused by a user. Assembly Firstly remove the steamer from its transportation packaging, including the cellophane hygiene bags. Take the Glass water vessel from its packaging and ensure the rubber water seal is fitted to the rim of the jar. It is advisable to wash the new water vessel thoroughly before its first use, with clean water only. Next mount the water vessel into its housing point around the heater element ensuring a snug fit before tightening the retaining adjuster from below. Then mount the steamer to the trolley mounting point by aligning the bayonet fitting into the receiving hole of the trolley. Once this has been done, take the power supply lead and insert into the indicated socket on the rear of the steamer. Then plug the power cord into the mains and switch on.

3. For using herbal treatments, remove the herb pot from the filler housing and place a small amount of herbs in the metal dish in the bottom of the herb pot. Then replace the herb pot and the filler cap. Special care should be taken to ensure nothing (any herbs) gets into the water supply as ‘any contaminate’ in the water will cause splitting and may result in injury.

4. Switch on the “POWER” button. --- Timer window shows a preset “15” min (you may adjust as required). --- The energy output shows “ZERO”.

--- The machine automatically detects the water level, and will not start if the water level is incorrect (it must be between the minimum and the maximum level marks). If the water level is within the safe limits, the machine will be able to be started. If it is wrong, an alarm sounds immediately and no functions will work until the correct water level is attained.

5. Adjust steam power level by pressing “ + ” or “ - ” keys under the “ENERGY” setting will take the

steam output from “0 to 5”, of which “5” is the highest output. We suggest initially set the out to before the vapor sprays out of the pipe ,we suggest to choose “5” firstly, then adjust accordingly to the clients requirements

.Treatment suggestions

CAUTION (during use)

1. Should height adjustment be required, you should tightly hold the stand pipe of the unit with one hand, then twist the tightening nut with another hand. Ensure the steamer is switched off during any adjustments, and is not pointing you or anyone else, so as to prevent injury.

2. The water vessel protector is used to prevent scalding by accidental touching the hot jar while

working. Always ensure the protector is fitted and in place before use. 3. When installing/fitting the water container, do not fasten the container securing support too tightly,

over tightening may damage the rubber jar ‘seal’ or shorten its lifespan. Over tightening may cause cracking of the glass water jar, and possible damage to the heater element.

4. The water level should be filled between the “MAX” & “MIN” level displayed on the side of the

water vessel during use. Incorrect levels may result in injury. 5. When adding water via the filler cap, always unplug the unit from the mains supply. Care should

be taken to avoid spillage and prevent leakage into the steamer housing and possible electrical shorting of the device.

6. If steam or water leakage is visible from the main housing during use. Switch off the “POWER”

button immediately, and disconnect from the mains power supply. Then remove the water container and check to ensure rubber seal is seated properly, then reinstall it Also check the main filler cap housing to ensure the seal is correctly fitted. If nothing is improved, please consult the sales agent.

7. When operating the steamer, the nozzle must not be aimed at client’s face until the vapor has

begun to spray out thinly and evenly, keeping a minimum distance of 40 cm from the face, the vapour should be sprayed between the client’s jaw and neck area, to the top of the face/hairline.

8. Since the ozone (when used) kills skin bacteria, it is not recommended for use over a prolonged

time, the usage times should be according to the client skin types (see below).

10. The steamer/machine should only be used with an earth grounded mains supply.

WARNING Do not use any substance other than distilled water in your steamer unit water vessel, doing so will change the way the boiling process occurs and any ‘contamination’ will cause the steamer unit to spit or spray scalding water. Due care should be taken when using essential oils or herbs, so as not to contaminate the water used for steaming, as injury’s may occur due to accidental or negligent contamination during use. 1. NEVER point the vapour jet directly down onto the client’s face, as scalding may occur. 2. NEVER use the steamer unit in humid or unvented environments, such wet rooms or bathrooms etc. To

prevent damage to the electrical components of your unit. 3. NEVER use the steamer outside, exposure to the elements will cause damage. 4. NEVER bridge the safety cut-out probes beneath the steamer housing, as this will damage the heater

element and steamer circuitry (For F-300A). 5. NEVER attempt to open the steamer casing/housing yourself. As it contains no user serviceable

components. Always consult a qualified technician, or for further information contact your sales agent for advice on returns and repairs.

MAINTENANCE It is advisable to clean your steamer at least once a week, preferably to also include descaling of the water heater element. Once the steamer unit is cold the water vessel should be removed and filled with the appropriate descaling /water solution and left to stand overnight. Then remove the water vessel and rinse with clean water to expel any descaling agent residue. Then refill with water and run the steamer through a minimum of one run cycle, to remove any remaining residue from the steamer unit. Then remove the water vessel and rinse as before. Refill with water and you are then ready for use. Failure to remove all descaling residue may result in ‘spitting’ of the steamer. If this occurs, simply repeat the rinse and refill proceedure until the issue is resolved. Although the steamer unit has an automatic low level cut out system. It is advisable to regularly check the water level during operation. By pre-empting the activation of the safety cut out, you will extend both the time between cleaning, and also the longevity of the steamers heater element. Failure of the heater element due to incorrect operation or by lack of cleaning will invalidate your product warranty.
