SAFETY PROTECTION DEVICE
This appliance has a safety valve protection device on the base unit. If the supply hose is
blocked accidentally, the safety valve will be opened to release the steam from below the base
unit. It is normal that it may produce a high pitch sound. Once this abnormal condition happens,
you must stop the use, unplug the appliance immediately and contact any SINGER Service
Center or SINGER Client Service.
ANTI-SCALE SYSTEM
1. The fi lter is designed to reduce the build-up of lime scale which occurs during steam ironing.
This will prolong the life of your steam station. However, note that the fi lter will not completely
stop the natural process of lime scale build-up.
2. The fi lter should be replaced with a new one after about a 2-3 month use. The working life
of the fi lter depends on the type of the local water used. If you exceed the working life of
the fi lter, you can continue to use the appliance but lime scale will be built up in the steam
chamber. It is proposed to replace with a new fi lter as soon as possible.
