• The steam pipe can be coiled together and placed into the hose clip.
• Wrap the mains cable around the steam generator in an anti-clockwise direction then slot the
plug into the socket (Fig C).
• The water tank must be emptied when storing your steam station vertically.
ANTI-SCALE CARTRIDGE
To extend the life of the appliance and to avoid problems with lime scale, your steam station is
fitted with an anti-scale cartridge. The life of the anti-scale cartridge depends on the frequency
of use and the hardness of the water in your area. In a soft water area this should be about 100
uses. Do not put any descaling products (including vinegar) into the water tank. This can damage
the appliance.
To replace the cartridge:
• Switch off and unplug your steam station.
• Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.
• Remove the water tank from the front of the unit.
• Pull the anti-scale cartridge vertically out of the water tank. Note that the cartridge may
contain water when it is removed (Fig A).
• Fit the new cartridge and push it down firmly into the water tank.
• Refill and refit the water tank.
• Plug in your steam generator.
• Once the appliance is ready, pull the steam trigger until the steam is being produced.
This will prime the system.
IMPORTANT: Using the appliance without changing the cartridge can cause a reduction in the generated
steam output and damage the appliance. The guarantee will not cover damage caused to the appliance by
not changing the anti- scale cartridge when required.
Note: Replacement cartridge can be ordered by contacting Spectrum Brands Customer Service
FILTER
We recommend that you remove and clean the filter every 6 uses depending on the water
hardness in your area. The warning light/reset button will flash to remind you that the filter needs
cleaning. Doing this will extend the life of the unit.
To remove the filter:
• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
•
Allow your steam generator to cool down for at least 1 hour until the soleplate is cold.
• Remove the water tank from the front of the unit. The filter is behind the water tank.
• Turn the filter anticlockwise and remove it (Fig B).
• Rinse the filter under a tap.
• Refit the filter and tighten it firmly.
• Reset the reminder light.
Note: Replacement filter can be ordered by contacting Spectrum Brands Customer Service
CLEANING
• Unplug the steam station when not in use, and before cleaning.
• Allow the iron to cool down completely before cleaning and storing away.
• Wipe outer surfaces with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little dishwashing liquid.
• Remove spots, or burnt on fabrics, by ironing a damp cotton or linen cloth with the iron hot.
Take care not to scratch the soleplate.
• Do not immerse the steam station or iron in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, solvents or scourers on the soleplate as these
will damage the coating.
