3Test the iron on an old cloth to make sure the soleplate and water tank are clean. We recommend that you allow steam to disperse by pressing the steam button in order to release any residues that may have built up during the manufacturing process.
●Repeat step 3 after prolonged periods of storage.

using your steam station
1 Fit the detachable iron into it’s socket: Lower the outlet cover, then with the arrow on the connector uppermost, push into the socket until fully home. To remove, squeeze the ribs on either side of the connector and pull out . Never remove the iron by pulling on the cord.
2Place the steam station on the support of the ironing board or any other stable surface nearby with the iron sitting on the iron rest. Make sure the steam station is unplugged and that the power and steam supply cords are unrolled and not kinked.
3Fit the cord cactus into one of the cord cactus locations. Place the steam supply cord into one of the grooves on the other end of the cord cactus. This will keep the cord in an upright position.
filling with water
Either
1Lift off the water tank cover and fill with water. Replace the cover.
Or
2Remove the tank by lifting off. Lift off the cover, then fill the tank under the tap.
●Filtered water is best as it reduces limescale, prolonging the life of your steam station (Kenwood water filters are widely available). Alternatively use 50% tap water and 50% distilled water.
●Do not add anything else to the water such as water from clothes driers, scented water, water from refrigerators, air conditioners, batteries, bottled mineral water or rain water. These contain organic waste or mineral elements that become concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown staining or premature wear to the steam station.
