No box or instruction manual included. I confirmed it heats up right before listing. Water (steam) was used once before, but hasn't been used since, so there may be some dirt in the steam outlet holes. I don't know the current condition of the steam parts, such as deterioration, so I recommend this to someone who can use it without steam. There is some light dirt and some scratches. Calulu Shipping cost of 850 yen is included.
