Note : It is normal for the connection cord to become warm during use.
Before using the generator for the first time or if you have not used the steam function for a few minutes, press the steam button several times in a row while holding the iron away from your clothes.This will enable any cold water to be removed from the steam connection cord.
When ironing start with fabrics that require a low temperature setting (•) and finish with those which need the highest temperature (•••).
Mixed fiber fabrics should be ironed on the temperature for the most delicate fabric. For example a shirt that is 60% cotton and 40% polyester should be ironed at the (•) setting for synthetics.
If spray starch is used, spray it onto the reverse side of the garment. Allow starch to penetrate before ironing.
For best results, use a mesh type ironing board to allow excess steam to escape.
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive area of the garment such as an inner seam.
5 • Dry ironing
This appliance can be used for dry ironing if the steam button is not pressed.
Set the iron’s on/off switch to the on position. Do not turn on the steam switch.
6 • Vertical steam
To remove wrinkles in cotton or linen, the soleplate can come into contact with the fabric for optimal results.
For synthetic fabrics, a distance of 4 inches is recommended to avoid damage to the garment.
For delicate fabrics, we recommend carrying out a test on an unobtrusive part of the garment (inner seam).
Caution : Steam produced is very hot.To avoid burns and scalding never iron or steam clothes while they are being worn.
Fill iron according to the “Filling the boiler” section of instructions.
Press on/off switch (B), the iron light and steam indicator light will turn on.
When the steam indicator light turns off (approximately 7 minutes), steam is ready. Hang the garment on a coat hanger and hold the fabric from the bottom of the garment slightly taut with one hand.
Holding the iron in a vertical position, press continuously on the steam button while moving the iron from the top of the garment to the bottom (C).
7 • Filling the boiler while in use
Caution : Never unscrew the boiler cap while iron is producing steam and boiler is under pressure.
Before opening the boiler, ensure that there is no steam inside. To do this, press the steam button and keep it pressed until there is no more steam.
Turn the unit off (see section “Turning On and Off”) and unplug from outlet.
Slowly unscrew the boiler cap. Using a water pitcher, fill with 33 oz. of water. Do not fill water tank past the base of the boiler cap thread. Be sure that water does not spill over. If this occurs remove the excess water.
Replace the boiler cap and screw it on tightly. Plug back in to electrical outlet.
