Steamer device Kitfort KT-960
The vertical steamer is a serious competitor to steam irons: it allows you to iron extremely quickly any clothes and textiles. This is a thorough care of things that does not take much time.
Unlike irons, which are used to iron fabrics and clothes placed horizontally, the steamer is mainly used to process clothes and fabrics placed vertically. At the same time, clothes can hang on the hanger of the steamer, on an ordinary hanger suspended from the steamer, simply on a hanger, on a clothes dryer or on a rope.
A steamer is a more functional and versatile device than an iron. In addition to ironing and steaming, the steamer processes things with a powerful jet of hot steam, thus cleaning and disinfecting. In addition to steaming clothes, you can steam curtains and drapes (you do not need to remove them for this), upholstery, mattresses, beds. At the same time, you will not only smooth out the folds, but also refresh things, and also disinfect them, since the hot steam kills dust mites and other microorganisms well. To achieve the best cleaning effect, you can use a nap brush or a steaming cloth on the iron.
But the steamer also allows you to iron things that are usually not ironed, for example, fluffy dresses with a complex structure, fur coats and sheepskin coats. It can also be used to prepare things for the season that have a musty smell during storage - the steamer solves this problem without any washing. But not only that. Steam pretty well removes foreign smell from clothes. For example, if you were in a smoky room and your clothes smelled of tobacco, then using a steamer you can quickly remove the smell and refresh them.

Description of the Kitfort KT-960 steamer
The removable water tank makes it easy to refill. There is an iron holder, bristle brush clip and a folding hanger. The steamer body has a floor-standing design and is equipped with wheels for easy movement.
Make sure that the steam hose is not kinked or kinked, as this may impair the steam supply.
The operating principle of the steamer is simple. The water from the tank flows by gravity into the boiler, where it is heated and evaporated. Steam flows through the steam hose and exits the steam nozzles on the working surface of the steam iron.
Preparation for work and use
Place the steamer on a flat, horizontal surface. If the steamer is positioned at an angle or on an uneven surface, water from the tank may not get into the boiler, as it is fed there by gravity.
How to fill the water tank
Make sure the device is disconnected from the mains. Remove the container from the steamer by grasping the handle and pulling upward. Turn it over, unscrew the cap and fill with water, then screw the cap and put the reservoir back.
Advice:- if you constantly use the steamer, we recommend that you periodically completely replace the water in the tank and rinse the tank itself in order to avoid stagnation and rotting out of water;
- use distilled or demineralized water to prevent limescale build-up in the boiler.
Assembly
- Insert the telescopic stand into the special slot in the device body and fix it by clicking the catch.
- You can adjust the height of the stand. To change the height of the rack, loosen the lock, extend the telescopic rack and click the lock.
- Place the iron holder on top of the hanger. Install the hanger adapter onto the telescopic rack from below.
- The iron holder has special hooks on which you can hang a regular hanger.
- Place the hanger with the iron holder on the telescopic stand as shown in the figure. Extend the hanger hanger and fit them into the corresponding grooves at the hanger base.
- Connect the steam hose by inserting the connector into the steamer body and twist to the right until it locks into place.
- Install a fluff brush clip if necessary. The clip is used to steam the trousers. The nap brush can be used to clean upholstered furniture or teddy bears. Also for cleaning things from adhering dirt, for example, pet hair.
To attach the accessory to a hot iron, hold the accessory in a mitten with your hand. Before that
- turn off the steam. The stand is secured enough so that you can carry the steamer by grasping it.
Switching on and off
Connect the power cord to a power source.
Turn on the device by pressing the pedal on the body. The operation indicator located on the pedal will illuminate to indicate that the unit is operating. The steamer needs some time (1-2 minutes) to preheat, after which steam will start automatically.
Attention! Never try to steam clothes on your body.
Condensation can accumulate in the steam hose during operation, therefore it is recommended to periodically lift the iron up so that the steam hose straightens vertically so that the condensate flows back into the boiler. Also, a small amount of water droplets may escape from the steam nozzles together with the steam.
To turn off, press the pedal, the operation indicator goes out, and the device turns off. When you turn off the steamer, steam does not stop immediately; it takes a few seconds for the remaining steam to escape.
Steaming tips and tricks
Take a steam iron in one hand and hold the bottom of the garment with the other, creating a slight tension. For your safety, we strongly recommend that you wear a mitten on your other hand. Bring the iron to the surface of the fabric, lightly pressing the working part of the iron to it, and start steaming back and forth (from top to bottom).We recommend starting with the areas with the most folds, as well as with items of clothing that are denser (collar, sleeve cuffs).
If you need to iron classic trousers, iron arrows on them or smooth out deep folds, use the clothespins on the hanger. In order to iron the arrows, use the nap brush on the iron as a clip.
With the steamer you can iron curtains vertically without removing them from the curtain rod. It is enough to place the steam iron at a small distance from the surface of the fabric and carry out the standard steaming procedure. Please note that depending on the density of the fabric from which the curtains are sewn, steam will penetrate through the fabric in a different volume. Some steam can accumulate on the surface of windows if the curtains are too close to them.
To remove soluble stains such as stains on clothing or upholstery, it is recommended to use a steaming rag on the steam iron. Then the waste dirt will be absorbed into the rag. You can make a steaming rag with a regular cotton towel, just wrap the towel over a steam iron.
Steam on both sides to smooth heavily wrinkled fabrics.
If the folds are difficult to smooth out, for example, due to the fact that the fabric has been overdried, we recommend sprinkling it with water first. Re-steaming may be required to smooth thick fabrics.
Do not use metal hangers or hangers as they can rust from the steam.
After steaming, the fabric may be slightly damp, so do not immediately put the item away for storage, but dry it by hanging it on a hanger or spreading it out on some surface.
Take special care when steaming delicate fabrics and fabrics that could be damaged by splashing water.
When steaming delicate fabrics, you can put a rag on the iron for steaming, then the condensation formed on the surface of the iron will be absorbed into the rag and will not get on the clothes.
When steaming things located on a horizontal surface, it is advisable to put some porous and vapor-permeable material underneath (felt, cotton blanket or mattress, several layers of loose fabric). Otherwise, the steam will not be able to pass through the thing to be steamed, since it will have nowhere to go from below, as a result, the steam will only affect the surface layers, and the effect of steaming will be less. When using an ironing board, the advantage should be given to one in which the bottom of the working surface is not solid, but made of mesh, then the steam will pass through it well. Do not use wooden surfaces, as steam can damage them.
Care and storage
Wipe the body of the steamer with a damp cloth. Rinse the water tank after each use to avoid stagnation and foul water. For the same purpose, do not store water in the tank for a long time.
Disconnect the hose and telescopic arm before cleaning. Remove the top hanger, then open the clasps and fold the rack. Detach the stand by opening the latch on the steamer body.
Wipe the area under the tank inside the cabinet, as mucus and organic deposits can form in this area. Run your finger in the area under the reservoir, if mucus and plaque remains on your finger, then the area under the reservoir is dirty. Wipe the area under the reservoir with a damp cloth moistened with a mild vinegar solution. If necessary, pour the vinegar solution under the reservoir and let sit for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, tilt the steamer and drain the solution. Rinse the area thoroughly and gently under running water, use a brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
Descaling the boiler
Flush the steamer boiler once every 2 weeks.
- Turn off the steamer and unplug the power cord.
- Wait for the device to cool down completely (at least 30 minutes).
- Remove the water tank and empty it completely. While doing this, tilt the reservoir back and forth several times to drain all the water from the reservoir. Move the reservoir to the side.
- Dilute the descaling agent in water and pour it into the boiler through the funnel into the steam hose opening. Follow the instructions for use of the descaler used.
- Place the steamer over a sink or bathroom.
- After a while, drain the solution, then rinse the boiler with water several times to remove any residual product.
- You can drain the water from the boiler through the drain valve at the back of the steamer body. The plug is unscrewed counterclockwise.
- After draining the water, close the drain valve.
- Replace the water tank.
- Attach the telescopic arm and hose.
AdviceUse demineralized or distilled water to reduce limescale build-up.
If you use the steamer frequently, change the water in the tank regularly, preferably once a day, to prevent deterioration and blooming, otherwise organic residues will enter the boiler and cause unnecessary precipitation and odors to form there. Use boiled water to reduce water spoilage.
Storing the steamer
- Turn off the steamer and unplug the power cord.
- Hang the steam iron on the holder.
- Fold down the telescopic stand.
- Place the steamer in storage.
Before long-term storage, wait 20-30 minutes for the steamer to cool completely, then drain the water from the boiler as described in the chapter "Descaling the boiler". Store the steamer in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.
