Kambrook Recommends Safety First
IMPORTANT: Please
retain your instruction
book for future use.
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently use
and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that you use
be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention placed on
the following important operating instructions.
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Steamline Detach Steam Iron
• Carefully read all instructions before
operating the iron for the first time and
save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
labels before using the iron for the
first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for
young children, remove and safely
discard the protective cover fitted to
the power plug of this iron.
• When unpacking the iron, check to
see you have received all the items
listed in the parts list, before discarding
the packaging.
• Always ensure the iron is properly
assembled before use. Follow the
instructions provided in this book.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. High
temperatures are generated during
use, which could cause burns. Always
use the handle and warn others
(especially children) of the possible
dangers of burns from steam, hot
water or hot soleplate, especially
when ironing vertically.
• Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms.
• Always test the iron on a small discreet
part of the fabric to be ironed to
ensure the iron has reached its
optimum temperature.
• Never use the vertical steam shot
while clothes are on the body or direct
the steam towards people.
• Do not place the iron near the edge
of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure that the surface is level,
clean and free of water and other
substances.
• Do not operate the iron on a sink drain
board.
• Auto-off safety protection is designed
as a safety feature only. The iron
should not be left on deliberately while
unattended. If the safety auto-off has
activated and no further ironing is
required, we recommended that the
iron is switched off at the power outlet
and unplugged.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot
surfaces.
• The iron must be used and rested on a
stable surface.

5
• Always set the temperature control
dial to MIN, switch the iron off and
remove the plug from the power
outlet when filling the water tank.
Do not touch the hot surface of the
soleplate or the skirt area above the
soleplate at any time; especially when
the water tank is not attached.
• Only push the self-clean lever when
you want to activate the self-cleaning
function. Do not push this lever whilst
ironing. Boiling water and steam will
drip from the holes on the soleplate
during the cleaning process. Due
caution and attention should be
exercised.
• If the iron is set to a low temperature
on the temperature control (i.e.
synthetic or silk) and also on any of
the steam control settings, there may
be leakage from the soleplate. This is
due to the iron temperature not being
high enough to vaporize the water
and create steam. Therefore, ensure
that the steam control is always set
to correspond with the setting on the
temperature control as seen in Table
A under ‘Setting the Temperature’ on
page 10.
• Always turn the variable temperature
control dial to minimum, switch off at
the power outlet and then unplug the
iron when not in use.
• When placing the iron on its heel,
ensure that the surface on which the
heel is placed is stable.
• If the iron is not used for an extended
period, disconnect the iron from the
power outlet.
• Do not use the iron if it has been
dropped, if there are visible signs of
damage or if it is leaking.
• Always switch the iron off and then
unplug from the power outlet:
- Before filling or emptying the water
tank.
- Before leaving the iron unattended.
- Before cleaning and maintenance,
unless otherwise specified in this
booklet.
- Immediately after use.
• The iron incorporates a thermal safety
fuse to protect it from overheating.
However, the iron should not be left
unattended while it is connected to
the power outlet. Special care should
always be taken when there are
children in the home/ vicinity of the
iron.
• Allow the iron to cool completely
before storing in an upright position on
its heel.
• Do not leave the iron unattended while
in use, connected or on an ironing
board.
• Store the iron out of reach of children.
• Do not allow the iron to lay flat on the
soleplate when stored as residual water
may seep through the steam holes, if
the tank is not empty.
• Always store the iron in the upright
position on its heel.
• Do not store the iron with water in the
water tank. Always empty the tank
after use.
• Ensure the iron is cool before storing or
wrapping the cord around the storage
heel facility.
• To prevent damage to the iron do not
use alkaline cleaning agents when
cleaning, uses a soft cloth and mild
detergent.
• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug
and actual appliance for any damage.
If damage is found in any way, or the
iron has been dropped, immediately
cease use of the appliance and return
the entire appliance to your nearest
authorized Kambrook Service Centre
for examination, replacement or repair.

Before First Use
Remove any promotional material or
packaging from the iron. Remove any
stickers or protective covers from the
soleplate.
Ensure that the iron is fully assembled and
the water tank is securely attached to
the iron body before operating.
When operating the iron for the first time,
test on an old piece of fabric to ensure
that the soleplate and water tank are
completely clean.
During the first use, some vapour may
emit. This vapour is due to the initial
heating of the materials used in the
iron. This vapour will not harm the
performance of the iron and is safe.
NOTE: As an important part of
the Kambrook quality control
process, your iron has been
individually tested. As a result,
there may be a small amount of
condensation or water droplets
on the inside of the water tank.
There is no need for concern.
Filling the Water Tank
The Steamline Detach iron should not
be operated without the water tank
securely in place and water in the water
tank. Ensure that the iron is switched off
and disconnected from the power outlet
before filling the water tank.
The Steamline Detach iron is designed to
be used with tap water. The hardness of
tap water can vary in different regions;
water testing kits can be purchased
online or at water filtration specialists
to determine the hardness of your tap
water.
If your tap water is particularly hard,
it is recommended that distilled or
demineralised water be used with this
iron. Not doing so can lead to in a
build-up of impurities in the iron resulting
in a loss of steaming power.
The unique feature of the Kambrook
Steamline Detach Iron is the fully
detachable water tank for filling right at
the tap.
Before detaching the water tank, ensure
that the steam control switch is set to
NO STEAM.
To remove the water tank, hold the iron
handle securely in your right hand with
your thumb resting on the tank release
button (See Fig.1).
Fig. 1
Meanwhile, place your left hand, with
your fingers resting on the indentations,
on both sides of the front of the iron
(See Fig. 2).

Once fully removed, open the water tank
inlet cover and pour water into the water
inlet. Be careful not to exceed the ‘MAX’
level (180ml) marked on the water tank.
(See Fig 4).
Fig. 4
When the water tank is filled, close the
water tank inlet cover and slide the tank
back onto the iron body, ensuring the
tank securely clicks back into place.
CAUTION: Never add
perfume, vinegar or
other chemical liquids
to the water in the water
tank. This could result in
damage to the iron.
Setting the Temperature
Before commencing ironing, sort all items
to be iron according to the International
Textile Care Labelling Code (see Table A)
or by the type of fabric. Most items of
laundry have markings corresponding
with this code.
Iron delicate fabrics that require the
lowest temperatures first followed
by harder fabrics that require higher
temperatures.
Place the iron on its heel and turn the
temperature control dial to MIN.
Plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and turn on. The power
indicator light will illuminate, indicating
the iron is on.
Select the temperature setting required
by rotating the temperature control dial
so that the desired setting is aligned with
the notch under the handle.
Wait for two to five minutes for the iron to
reach the selected temperature.
CAUTION: Do not touch
any hot surfaces!
