Nobody talks in this video. The steps show as words on the screen.

What is in the box

• Base

  The white box with the buttons. The videos call it the machine.

• Two rods

  They stand in the base. The videos call them poles.

• Hanger bar

  It sits across the top of the rods. The videos call it the shoulder attachment.

• Soft bag

  It is shaped like a shirt and fills with air. Your shirt goes over it. The videos call it the balloon.

• Four weighted clips

  They are round and go on the bottom edge of the shirt.

• In some sets

  Four laundry clips, a pants attachment and a shoe attachment. The product page shows each set.

The steps

1. 1
   Free the power cord

   Pull the power cord out of the back of the base. Do not plug it in yet.

2. 2
   Choose the place

   Stand the base on a hard, flat floor with space around it. Keep it away from water and from anything that burns easily.

3. 3
   Join the rods

   Each rod has two pieces. Push one piece into the other.

4. 4
   Stand the rods in the base

   Put both rods into the holes in the black part on top of the base.

5. 5
   Set the height

   Loosen the knob on each rod, pull the top piece up, and tighten the knob again. A longer shirt needs taller rods.

6. 6
   Add the hanger bar

   If the bar came in two halves, push them together. Then push the bar onto the top of the two rods.

7. 7
   Put the soft bag on

   Slide the bag down over the bar and the rods. Pull its stretchy bottom edge over the top of the base.

8. 8
   Turn the bag into place

   Turn the bag until the zippers on its sides sit at the line marked on the base. The video shows this at 0:51.

The steps

1. 1
   Start with a damp shirt

   Use a shirt that is still damp from the washer.

2. 2
   Set the width of the bag

   The bag has four zippers on its sides. Each zipper you open makes the bag wider. A bigger shirt needs more open zippers.

3. 3
   Put the shirt on the bag

   Pull the shirt down over the bag. This is easier when the top two buttons are open.

4. 4
   Fill the sleeves

   Push each arm of the bag into a sleeve. Pull it through until its end comes out of the sleeve.

5. 5
   Buttons and collar

   Close every button. Turn the collar up, so that it stands up around the neck.

6. 6
   If the shirt is dry

   Spray it with water until it is damp, before you turn the machine on. Do not let water run onto the machine.

7. 7
   Clip the bottom edge

   Clip the four round weighted clips along the bottom edge of the shirt. They keep the cloth pulled down.

8. 8
   Turn the machine on

   Plug it in. Use the buttons on the front of the base to turn it on, set the heat, and set the timer to 8 to 12 minutes.

9. 9
   Smooth the shirt

   When the bag is full of air, smooth the shirt with your hands. It should sit smooth on the bag, with no loose cloth.

10. 10
    Take the shirt off

    When the timer ends, hang the shirt up. Then turn the machine off and pull the plug out of the wall.

Good to know

• Heat

  Check the care label (the small tag sewn inside the shirt) first. If you are not sure, start with low heat.

• Polo shirts and T-shirts

  They go on the same soft bag. Skip the steps about buttons and the collar if your piece of clothing has none.

• Socks and underwear

  If your set has laundry clips, these can dry inside the bag. Before the shirt goes on, open the zipper on the back of the bag and hang them on the hanger bar. Do not reach into the bag while the machine is on.

The pants attachment is a second soft bag, shaped like a pair of pants. Not every set includes it. The video ends before any pants go on, so follow steps 6 to 9 below.

The steps

1. 1
   Unplug and let it cool

   Turn the machine off and pull the plug out of the wall. After a run, wait until the base and the rods have cooled down.

2. 2
   Take off the shirt bag

   Take the shirt bag and the hanger bar off the machine. You do this each time you change from shirts to pants.

3. 3
   Raise the rods

   Loosen each knob, pull the top piece up as far as it goes, and tighten the knob. For short pants, make the rods shorter.

4. 4
   Put the pants bag on

   Slide the bag over the two rods. One rod goes inside each leg of the bag, so that both legs fill with air.

5. 5
   Fasten the bottom edge

   Pull the stretchy bottom edge of the bag over the top of the base.

6. 6
   Put the pants on upside down

   Pull the damp pants down over the legs of the bag. The waistband sits just above the base, and the legs point up.

7. 7
   Clip the waistband

   Clip one weighted clip to each side of the waistband.

8. 8
   Turn the machine on

   Plug it in. Use the buttons to turn it on and to set the heat and the timer. Thick cotton and jeans take closer to 15 minutes.

9. 9
   Take the pants off

   When the timer ends, hang the pants up. Then turn the machine off and pull the plug out of the wall.

The shoe attachment is a white part with two tubes. It dries shoes and caps with warm air. Not every set includes it.

The steps

1. 1
   Unplug and let it cool

   Turn the machine off and pull the plug out of the wall. After a run, wait until the base and the rods have cooled down.

2. 2
   Clear the base

   Take the soft bag, the hanger bar and the two rods off the base. In the video, the base has no rods.

3. 3
   Slide the attachment in

   Slide the shoe attachment into the black part on top of the base.

4. 4
   Put the shoes on

   Put one shoe over each tube. The shoes can be damp, but they must not drip.

5. 5
   Or hang a cap

   Hang the cap over the two tubes.

6. 6
   Turn the machine on

   Plug it in. Use the buttons to turn it on and to set the heat and the timer. The timer goes up to 60 minutes.

7. 7
   Check, then unplug

   The video leaves a cap on for five or ten minutes. Check shoes when the timer ends. Then turn the machine off and pull the plug.
