using your steam generator
Steam ironing
During steam ironing, if you do not allow your steam generator to reach the
selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate. During use the steam pipe
and iron rest will become very hot.
It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should
be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should
never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.
1. Fill the water tank with water.
2. Plug your steam generator into the mains supply and press the on/off button to switch
your steam generator on.
3. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to between the
ll
and the
maximum heat (MAX) setting.
4. The temperature indicator light will light up as your steam generator heats up. When
the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is at the selected
temperature. The temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as
your steam generator maintains the correct temperature.
5. You will hear a buzzing sound as the pump inside your steam generator operates and
transfers water from the water tank to the boiler where steam is produced. Set the
desired amount of steam as described below in the Adjusting the amount of steam
section. The steam indicator light will flash as your steam generator heats the water
to create steam. When the steam indicator light stops flashing, your steam generator
is ready to use. The steam indicator light will occasionally flash during ironing. This is
normal.
6. With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press the steam trigger for a couple of
seconds. It is not necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as steam will still
be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the trigger has been released. If
more steam is required, press the steam trigger again.
Always release the trigger and allow any residual steam to be released before
replacing the iron on its stand.
The pump will occasionally start and stop during ironing. This is normal
Adjusting the amount of steam
1. You can adjust the amount of steam using the steam control.
2. Turn the steam control clockwise to increase steam, or anticlockwise to decrease
steam. Steam can be switched off by turning it fully anticlockwise to OFF.
