CAUTION! NEVER open the boiler filling cap before ALL the remaining steam has been released from the steam generator and the steam generator has cooled. To release the steam, press the On/Off button to the “Off” position and push the steam button on the iron until no more steam comes out of the iron. Then open the boiler filler cap slowly.
A WORD ON WATER
For best results we recommend using 100% demineralized/distilled water.
You can use regular tap water in your steam generator, but should the water in your area be hard water we strongly recommend the use of 100% demineralized/distilled water. This will prolong the life of your generator and reduce the frequency of required generator cleaning, as well as the possibility of staining due to accumulated impurities.
DO NOT USE WATER PROCESSED THROUGH A HOME WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM OR BOTTLED MINERAL WATER.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE STEAM GENERATOR
When empty, the steam generator can be filled with 26 U.S. fl. oz. of demineralized/ distilled water. Do NOT overfill. Overfilling the water tank can cause water drops to come out of the steam holes. See filling instructions on page 5.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE BOILER FILLER CAP
To close the boiler filler cap, turn clockwise until the point where you feel friction – do NOT close too tightly. The boiler filler cap has a gasket which can be flattened and damaged if the cap is closed too tightly. If the gasket is damaged, steam may escape while the steam generator is being used. If the boiler filler cap is damaged and steam is leaking, call
NEVER LEAVE THE HOT IRON RESTING ON THE IRON REST FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
The lifespan of your steam generator will be reduced if the iron is left idle at high temperatures for extended periods of time. If the iron is not in use, reduce the temperature to the lowest temperature setting on the temperature control thermostat, turn the steam generator “Off” and remove the power cord from the electrical power outlet.
WARRANTED FOR REGULAR HOUSEHOLD USE
While the Steam Generator Iron is a professional type ironing system; it is intended for and warranted only for normal household use. The iron and/or steam generator should not be used for more than fifteen (15) hours per week in approximately three (3) hour intervals.
