using your steam station

1Place 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.

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. Re-fit the cover. Replace the tank into its original position by gently pushing into place.

●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.

●If you need to refill your steam station during use, we recommend the empty water tank is removed for filling. If filled whilst fitted, always unplug the steam station first.

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.
