When I use the steamer I've to keep the plug in? And also, in wich way can I control the the vapour? Thanks

Yes it must remain plugged in, otherwise the heating element will cool and not produce steam. You cannot control the amount of steam...as the water runs out, it will stop producing steam. Once the steam is flowing it will not stop unless it runs out of water or turn it off.

Yes you have to keep.it plugged in and there is no way to control the vapor. The steamer works extremely well and I have had it for 5 years using in a clothing store.

You cannot control the steam (vapor). I'm not sure what you're asking about keeping the plug in - are you asking about the electrical plug? If so, then "yes" you do.

Your plug should be standard size with the ground prong. The cord is short. The vapor head should face the garments. When you return the head to the stand, the holes should point upward.

I can't always see the steam and it runs blowing air if no steam so that may be what you're seeing. You should see the indicator lights on the front while power is on. While running I can't see the glow of the UV light. So if the reservoir empties, its working. I hope that helps you!

You need to select one of the buttons (15 min, 30 min, etc). It will not look like much when it is steaming, but it is working.

I would call Electrolux, my steamer is in the shop right now. It was not getting hot enough, & Electrolux had me bring it to a repair shop. Maybe they can help you?

Greetings from GoVacuum, We are a very large distributor for this product, and I do get this questions very frequently. I have called Reliable and asked them about why the machine still leaves the floor wet. What they told me was that there is no need to continuously hold the steam trigger down while you are mopping your floors. They tell me that once the pad is wet, the pad will already be hot from the steam, and you should use the steam sparingly. I have tried this techniqe and found that the machine will still clean very well without be trigger happy, and leaves the floors substantially dryer when I'm finished. The best technique I found is to pull the trigger, let the steam accumulate on the pad for approximately 30 seconds, and then begin mopping. I can usually mop a 25 square foot section before I have to release more steam.

I always place the setting to "II" and start timing when the opposite safety valve pops up AND a small stream of steam begins escaping through the adjustable valve (a very small amount of dripping from condensation will appear around the seam of the handle.) Turn the heat down to low to low/medium at that time and watch out for overpressurization, evidenced by a buldging appearance of the silicone rubber sealing ring through the lid "window". If this occurs, just keep turning temperature down.

Sorry, I have the same answer as many other victims. My steamer didn't work and both lights were on. The head of the steamer would get hot but no steam. If it's been less than a year, you can contact Conair to replace the item but you will have to pay for shipping. Unfortunately, if you read some of the reviews here, that sounds like a waste of money too. I had to throw mine away.

put a layer of lettuce or spinach on the bottom of the steamer. it wont change the flavor and allows for easier clean up.

I keep mine closed so that it generates more heat and keep the maximum steam in. But I open it for my daughter because she can't stand too much heat

Never saw anything in the manual concerning your issue, I would assume as long as the water is heating and the steam is working it could be just a blip in the wiring. I've had my steamer for about two years and haven't had a problem. You didn't say how old your steamer is.

Once the reservoir is filled and the steamer is plugged in. You have to set the timer first then the switch for low steam and high steam. It takes a couple minutes for the stam to start. You can always turn off high once the steam gets going. I dont think the steamer comes on unless you turn the timer. If it still wont come on then your unit is probably defective.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!

Its pretty simple. Plug into the wall. One side has a female for your heater to plug. The other side as a female plug for your mister/humidfier to plug into to. The control planel allowes you to set temp. And humdity to your prefered lvls. Set the measurement guage inside the habitiat and let it do all the work for ya :)

Did it overheat? Perhaps the steam cleaner is drawing too much power? You should check the wattage of the steam cleaner. It is best to have a voltage converter that is rated at more than the wattage of the appliance. Also, check the back of the transformer to make sure that you have set the voltage selector correctly.

Same answer here, the default is off. I have mine attached to my shop vac, where it works great by the way.

The lid has a vent hole. To keep steam inside without escaping requires plugging the vent hole. You would have to be created plugging the hole.

There is no temperature control, as it is not needed. It keeps it at a steady 110 degrees (I believe), so it is within your range. And it will run as long as you have it plugged in. Hope that helps! :)
