wrinkles from said fabric and clothing.
Condensation from the steam will accumulate in a drip pan (Fig. 1-4.) and
return to
reservoir by means of drip tubes. (Fig.l-5.).
Stage 2
Drying fans (Fig. 1-6.) will engage after steaming process completed by way of
a preset
timer. (Figl-7.) (E.g. 1.) A = 10 minutes of steam = 1 S minutes of drying.
