Product overview
The Philips STH3020/16 is a foldable handheld garment steamer for quick touch-ups at home or while travelling. Its 1000W heater reaches operating temperature in approximately 30 seconds, making it practical for shirts, dresses, blouses, abayas and other garments that need light crease removal without an ironing board.
Steam relaxes fabric fibres and refreshes the garment's drape. It does not apply the firm pressure of a traditional iron, so sharply pressed trouser creases and heavily wrinkled linen may still require ironing.
Vertical steaming technique
Hang the garment securely, close buttons or zips and keep the fabric lightly tensioned. Hold the steam plate upright and guide it slowly downward. Fast waving movements give the steam less time to work.
Foldable storage and travel
The folding body reduces the amount of luggage or cupboard space required. The unit must be empty, unplugged and completely cool before it is folded or packed.
Fabric and steam safety
Check the care label and test decorated, coated or delicate fabric on an inconspicuous area. Never steam clothing while it is being worn and keep hands, children, pets and electrical equipment away from the hot vapour.
Water and maintenance
Use only the water type recommended in the manual. Do not add perfume, oil, starch or cleaning chemicals. Empty remaining water after use and let the steamer dry before storage.
Choosing a handheld steamer
The STH3020/16 suits quick garment refreshes and travel. A stand steamer is better for several garments in one session, while a steam iron provides sharper pressed results.
