OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Even if you have used a steam generator iron before, please read all instructions and safeguards in the Use and Care Instruction Book. In addition, please note the following user tips:
USING STEAM
PLEASE NOTE: Steam performance improves after the first
1.Make sure the temperature setting of the iron is within the steam range on the temperature selector.
2.Turn power on for iron and steam generator. Before starting to use steam, make sure the Steam Ready Light is “ON”, indicating that steam is available.
NOTE: Trying to use steam before the Steam Ready Light is “ON” can cause water drops in the steam coming out of the iron.
CLEARING THE INITIAL CONDENSATION:
3.Clear the initial condensation by pressing the Steam Button up to 3 seconds. Repeat if necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
4.While using the ironing system, if steam has not been released for more than approximately 5 minutes, the hose has cooled and any steam remaining in the hose from the last use might condense. Clear this condensation by pressing Steam Button before proceeding to use the iron.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! NEVER open the boiler filler 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.
1.We strongly recommend the use of demineralized/distilled water to ensure optimum performance and maximize the life of your steam generator. If you are using demineralized/distilled water, the steam generator should be cleaned once every six (6) to twelve (12) months. If you use regular tap water, the steam generator should be cleaned once a month.
2.Make sure that all the steam has been released from the steam generator before doing any cleaning or maintenance on the appliance. Follow instructions on page 7 for releasing the steam.
3.Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet and let the unit cool down for at least 4 hours after it has been used before starting to clean the steam generator.
4.NEVER immerse the iron or the steam generator in water or any other liquid.
