using your steam station
1Fit the detachable iron into it’s
socket: Lower the outlet cover, then
with the arrow on the connector
uppermost, push into the socket
until fully home. To remove, squeeze
the ribs on either side of the
connector and pull out . Never
remove the iron by pulling on the
cord.
2Place 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.
3Fit the cord cactus into one of the
cord cactus locations. Place the
steam supply cord into one of the
grooves on the other end of the cord
cactus. This will keep the cord in an
upright position.
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 (water filters are widely
available). Alternatively use tap water.
●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.

safety
When cleaning, never unscrew the
boiler cap whilst the unit is
pressurised. Steam will shoot out
and burn you. Always switch off,
unplug and leave overnight before
commencing to clean the boiler.
●Don’t get burnt by the iron’s steam,
hot water, soleplate or iron rest.
●Keep children away from the steam
station. And make sure they can’t
grab the cords and pull the steam
station down.
●Trailing cords are a hazard, keep
them out of the way to prevent
accidents.
●Never iron clothes being worn.
●Never put the steam station, cord or
plug in liquid – you could get an
electric shock.
●Always remove the water tank from
the steam station when filling from a
tap.
●Don’t let the power and steam
supply cords touch hot parts.
●Don’t let infirm people use the steam
station without supervision.
●During ironing pauses and after use
always place the iron flat on the iron
rest of the steam station.

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.
steam ironing
1Make sure there is water in the tank.
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 .
3Wait until the green ready to steam
light glows indicating that the correct
pressure has been reached. This
takes about 3 minutes.
●During use you may hear a slight
humming coming from the iron. This
means that the pump is operating
and passing water from the tank to
the boiler where the steam is
generated for ironing. This will be
accompanied by the red low water
indicator light glowing.
4Before starting to iron press the
steam button several times, this will
release any condensation droplets.
Each time the steam will be forced
through the openings on the iron
soleplate.
5To produce steam whilst ironing
clothes press the steam button. For
continuous steam, press the steam
button and then press the lock for
continuous steam on the right hand
side of the iron. To stop continuous
steam, press the button on the left
hand side.
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.
