FILLING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
Warning: Never add fabric conditioner, starches or any
other chemicals to the water in your steam generator.
Only use cold tap water in your steam generator.
1. Remove the water tank by pressing the water tank
release button underneath the tank. Slide the water
tank out (figure 1).
2. Open the water tank filling cover. Fill the water tank
with cold tap water to the MAX mark (figure 2).
3. Close the water tank filling cover and slide the water
tank back into the base unit until it latches securely
into place. When the tank is correctly fitted, the red
tab will be visible.
Note that when you use your steam generator for the
first time or after rinsing the boiler, a lot of water will be
pumped out of the water tank. Refill the tank as required.
Refilling during use
You can fill your steam generator during use without
having to remove the water tank. The low water light will
flash to let you know that the water tank needs filling.
Open the water tank filling cover and add water as
required. Do not fill past the MAX indicator mark on the
tank (figure 3).
IRONING WITHOUT STEAM
Important: Your iron takes time to heat up and cool
down. If you change the temperature setting on your iron,
you must give it time to adjust to the new setting.
1. Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer
to the desired heat setting.
2. When the temperature indicator light goes out
your steam generator is ready to use. The light will
continue to turn on and off during ironing.
3. Iron your laundry without pressing the steam trigger or
using the steam lock button.
STEAM IRONING
Warning: 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.
1. Fill the water tank with water.
2. Plug your steam generator in and press the on/off
button to switch your steam generator on.
3. Turn the temperature control to the desired heat
setting. For steam ironing this MUST be between
ll
and MAX otherwise water will drip from the soleplate
during ironing.
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. 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. Turn the steam control clockwise to increase steam,
or anticlockwise to decrease steam. Steam can
be switched off by turning the steam control fully
anticlockwise to OFF.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Wipe over the soleplate with a moist cloth then dry the
soleplate thoroughly.
Place your steam generator on your ironing board or on a
secure, heat resistant surface at the same height as your
ironing board.
When you first use your iron, there may be a slight odour
and it may smoke slightly for the first few minutes of
operation. This is normal and will soon disappear.
VERTICAL STEAM IRONING
Vertical steam ironing is especially useful for ironing
items such as curtains while they are hanging, or jackets,
suits and coats.
Hold the iron in a vertical position and press the steam
trigger as required.
