Question about Russell Hobbs Steam Brush Steam Genie 2 in 1 1700 W

Hey thanks for your answer. Yes, I did, but the unit seems to be ready right away. I've never seen it flash before. I used it for the curtains and it still worked fine.

Mhh no, actually the steamer should be ready for use after 60 seconds. Do you proceed as described in the instructions? Connect the appliance to the power supply, then press the power button (at the end of the handle). After about 60 seconds, it should stop flashing and light up continuously. Then you can press the steam button and start.
