When using the steam function, the green ready to steam indicator light will go off.
●It is possible to vary the amount of steam produced. Move the variable steam control to the right for
maximum steam and to the left for minimum steam.
6The red low water indicator light will glow continuously when the water tank becomes empty. This will be accompanied by a continuous humming noise of the pump. Should this occur we recommend you switch off the steam station. Remove the water tank and refill.
Note: For prolonged use always ensure there is water in the water tank.
hints
●Wool and velvet. Guide the iron 2 cm above the fabric, depressing the steam button. The power of steam smoothes away creases and revitalises the fabric. Do not pull the fabric.
●Vertical ironing – suits, dresses and curtains are smoothed, renewed and put into shape again while they are hanging (see below).
PTFE soleplate (model IC800 only)
The soleplate can be fitted when ironing delicate items such as silk. Follow the instructions given on the packaging and keep them handy for future use. Always take care when fitting, particularly if the iron is hot.
If the soleplate (Kenwood model ICSP01) is not included in pack it can be purchased separately from the shop where you purchased your steam station.
