STEAM IRONING
Step 1 -
Fill the water tank with clean tap water (refer to filling the water tank on
page 5). For better performance, please immerse the filter in water for several
minutes before installing it into the water tank.
Step 2 -
Connect the unit into a suitable power socket. Turn the temperature control
dial to steam ironing position (the area between Wool and Max on the temperature
dial). The heating indicator light on the iron unit will light up to indicate that the unit
is being heated up. When it turns off, the desired temperature has been reached. It
is now ready for steam ironing. During use, the heating indicator light will cycle from
ON to OFF and then OFF to ON, this indicates that the iron is heat regulating
automatically.
Step 3 -
Before using the steam iron function for the first time, please clean the iron
(refer to cleaning and maintenance on page 9). Take the iron unit from the base unit.
Press the steam button underneath the handle to allow steam release for 30
seconds and then stop for another 30 seconds. Do so as a cycle and repeat the
above cycle again. The iron is not ready for using until the heating indicator lights
turns OFF.
Step 4 -
During steam ironing the steam rate will vary when the temperature control
dial is adjusted to different positions. This can prevent water leakage caused from
the soleplate.
Step 5 -
After using, turn the temperature control dial to MIN and then unplug it
from the power socket. Take the iron unit back and place it onto the base unit.
Step 6 -
Slide the water tank out from the base unit and empty it.
NOTE:
For first time use it is normal that a slight vibration sound may occur from the electrical
pump inside the base unit for a few seconds when the steam iron starts. This is because there
is air inside the filter. It will stop once the air has been pumped out. If this continues to happen
for more than 60 seconds, check to see whether the filter is assembled and installed correctly.
NOTE:
When the temperature dial is set at SYNTHETIC position, this is suited for dry ironing
only. MAX steam will be obtained when set at MAX position. When set at WOOL position,
steam will be gradually released slower.
