Reliable J490A How To Use Your Ironing System, This model is provided with following features

HOW TO USE YOUR IRONING SYSTEM

1.Unscrew the water fill cap (10).

2.Using a bottle or any other container, fill the tank (9) up to a maximum of .7 quarts of water (0.65L or 2.75 cups) or remove the tank by pushing the lever (8) outwards while simultaneously lifting the water tank out, take it to a faucet and fill it as well to the maximum amount. Put the cap back on the boiler when done, and place the water container back into its original position.

3.Connect the electrical cord to the main power outlet.

4.Turn on the boiler and the iron switches (2 & 5). The lights of the switches should come on.

5.Adjust the thermostat dial on the iron (13) to the required temperature.

6.If you hear a slight hum coming from the steam generator, this means that the pump is moving water from the water tank to the boiler where the necessary steam is generated for ironing.

7.When using the iron for the first time, we recommend that you allow the steam to come out (for 10-15 seconds) by pressing the steam button (15) on the iron (without placing the iron on good fabric) in order to eliminate any possible residue that may have been built up by treatments during the production process.

8.You will be ready to start ironing in about 3-4 minutes, once the boiler builds up enough pressure. The orange control light (3) will light up when you are ready to start.

9.If the iron has not been used recently, there may be condensation in the steam hose. Simply press the iron steam button (15) for a few seconds to flush any condensation (water) out of the steam hose.

10.During use, the orange steam ready warning light (3) will alternately turn on and off. This is normal because it indicates that steam is being generated in the boiler.

11.It is safe to leave water in the pressure tank when the iron is not in use. If it is for an extended period of time (months) then it is best to flush out the remaining water. To do so, follow the water removal instructions as outlined in the maintenance of the boiler section.

This model is provided with following features:

Red control light (4)

A red warning light turns on to signal that the water in the tank has been exhausted and there will also be the sound of a buzzer in case you did not see the red light. A continual humming of the pump comes before this. At this point you have to switch off the ironing system by turning the power switch off, fill the tank with water and switch back on.

Continuous steam button (16)

If you need a steady steam supply, press the continuous steam button (16) down and the push it towards the back of the iron to lock it. To unlock it, simply reverse this procedure.

IRONING TIPS

Dry Ironing

For ironing without steam, select the temperature (13) you require that matches the fabric you want to iron. Turn on the iron switch (5) and the control light (12) on the iron will light up. As soon as the light (12) goes out, the iron has reached the right temperature. Do not press the steam button (15) when you are ironing without steam.

Eliminating Shine

If you are pressing dark coloured fabrics you may find that using an ironing shoe made with Teflon® is beneficial to eliminating the chance of the fibres melting and creating “shine”. An optional ironing shoe #J40T is recommended to solve this problem.
