4VERY SLOWLY unscrew the boiler cap. If any steam is heard, stop unscrewing the cap and wait until all the steam has gone. Once all the steam has gone continue to slowly unscrew the cap.

5Use the funnel provided and slowly refill the boiler by pouring the water down the side of the funnel. Take care not to overfill.

6Screw the boiler cap back on until it is completely tight.

7Plug in the appliance. Wait for the green ready to steam light to glow, this indicates that the steam station is ready for use.

important

Never unscrew the boiler cap whilst the appliance is connected to the power supply and whilst there is pressure inside the boiler.

Never unscrew the boiler cap during ironing.

choosing the right temperature

Follow the clothes label advice. Match the dots on the label to the dots on the temperature control. If there’s no label, here’s a guide on which temperature to choose:

hints

Start on clothes needing the lowest temperature, then work upwards. (This lowers the risk of burning something because an iron switched from ‘hot’ to ‘cool’ takes time to cool down.)

For mixed fibres, eg cotton ●●● and polyester , use the lowest suitable temperature .

If in doubt, start with a low temperature on a part that won’t be seen (eg a shirt tail).

setting the temperature

Before switching on the steam station, make sure that the lock for continuous steam is in the off position by firmly pressing the lock on the left hand side of the iron. This will ensure that the steam button is released.

1Plug the steam station into the power supply.

2Switch on, the blue light will glow.

3Turn the temperature control to the temperature you want, the light under the control will glow. When the iron reaches the set temperature, the light will go out. (During ironing, this light will go on and off as your iron maintains the right temperature.)

dry ironing

Follow the procedure above for setting the temperature.

Care should be taken not to press the steam button.

1Make sure there is water in the boiler. Plug into the power supply and switch on.

2Turn the temperature control to the desired setting. For best results when steaming we recommend that the temperature control should be

set to .

It is possible to vary the amount of steam produced. If the iron is set to move the variable steam control to the left for minimum steam. If ●● is selected move the variable steam control to the middle and if ●●● is selected move the variable control to the right for maximum steam.

3Wait until the green ready to steam light glows indicating that the correct pressure has been reached. This takes about 8 minutes. (Also wait until the temperature control indicator light has gone off.)

During ironing the light will turn on and off - this is normal and indicates steam is generated in the boiler.
