IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND A
MIX OF 50% TAP WATER AND 50%
DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER.
Never use battery topping up fluid or water
containing any substances like starch, sugar,
fragrant additives or defrosted water from a
refrigerator.
Re-filling during use
If the water level is too low, the low water level
indicator
(30)
will illuminate, a buzzer will sound,
and the unit will not produce steam. If this
happens, disconnect the water tank
(1)
by
squeezing the water tank release button
(19)
. Lift
the filler cap
(2)
and refill with water to the max
fill line. Replace the water tank.
Dry ironing
To use your steam generator as a dry iron only,
follow steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 of ‘Using the Steam
Generator for steam ironing’ on pages 6 and 7.
You do not need to put water in the water tank or
select a steam level. Press the iron steam trigger
(4)
at least once every 10 minutes, or the product
will automatically turn off.
Auto shut-off (certain models only)
If the steam trigger
(4)
is unused for 10 minutes,
the product will automatically turn off, both for
safety and to save energy.
To restart, press the On/Off power button
(31)
(see step 2 of ‘Using the Steam Generator for
steam ironing’ on page 6) and wait for the
temperature to rise again.
Steam function
During steaming, small amounts of water may be
ejected from the soleplate
(6)
. This is normal and
can be avoided by using the steam for short
amounts of time and only when the iron is at the
correct temperature (the temperature indicator
light
(11)
on the iron goes out when ready).
Sudden jolts of the boiler unit can also cause
water droplets on the soleplate; therefore, do not
move the base unit during ironing. We
recommend for first time ironing that you iron
over an old towel.
NOTE: The product may occasionally produce a
pumping sound during steam ironing. This is
normal and is caused by water being pumped
through the steam generator.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from
hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings, etc.
Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from
the item and press the iron steam trigger
(4)
.
WARNING: Do not use the vertical steam
feature on clothes that are being worn.
