indicator light will illuminate, indicating power is reaching the iron. The low steam
rate indicator light will begin to flash (this is the default setting).
To switch the iron off, press and hold the power switch for 2 seconds. Both the
power indicator and the low steam rate indicator will turn off.
•Note: Always disconnect the mains power when the iron is not in use.
•Note: when the iron is switched O , it is normal to hear noises from the
water pump. The noise from the water pump will continue to occur on and
off during use, as the iron will keep pumping water from the water tank to
generate steam.
Steam rate control buttons
Low, medium or high steam rate settings can be selected by pressing the two
steam rate control buttons (refer to the control panel section Fig 3).
After selecting the desired steam rate, the corresponding indicator light will start
to flash. Once the indicator light stops flashing, it means the steam function is
ready for use.
Temperature dial
Turn the dial to set your desired ironing temperature depending on the fabric
required. (Refer to fig 2).
Temperature indicator
When the iron is heating up, the temperature indicator next to the temperature
dial will be illuminated. Once the iron has reached the selected temperature, the
temperature indicator light will turn off. The temperature indicator light will turn
O and OFF as the iron maintains the selected temperature setting during
ironing.
Steam release button
Once the iron has reached its selected temperature, press and hold the steam
release button and steam will be sprayed from the soleplate continuously. When
the steam button is released, the iron can be used for dry ironing without any
steam. The location of the steam release button is shown in fig 1.
Note: the steam release button must be pressed for steam ironing.

Low water indicator
When the water in the tank goes below a certain level, the low water indicator
will light up, two buzzers will sound and the steam generator will stop working.
The buzzers are a prompt to add water to the water tank.
Descaling indicator
The descaling indicator light will illuminate to show that the steam generator
requires cleaning dur to the accumulation of mineral deposits found in hard
water. When the deposits have been removed from the steam generator, the
indicator light will turn off.
Note: instructions for removing the mineral deposits is explained under the
Cleaning and Maintenance section.
ord clamp
When not in use, the steam supply hose and the power cord can be stored
around the winding groove on the iron base. To do this, pull the cord clamp out
gently, then wind the cord around the winding groove, then gently push the cord
clamp back.
Automatic power OFF
The iron will automatically turn itself off if no steam is spraying out of the
soleplate or left idling for more than 10 minutes. To turn the iron back on, press
the Power switch on the control panel, as shown in fig 3.
Before first use
1. Remove any stickers, protective wraps or storage covers (if fitted) from the
soleplate.
2. Heat the iron up to the maximum temperature and iron over a piece of
damp cloth for several minutes to remove any residue from the production
process that may have accumulated on the soleplate and steam unit by
following the instructions for Steam Ironing.
•Note: it is normal to experience an odour when the appliance is switched
O for the first time. This is caused by lubrication during the
manufacturing process and should cease after a short amount of use. If the
odour seems excessive, use in a will ventilated area until the odour
disappears.
•Note: some particles or debris may come out of the soleplate upon first
time use. This is normal and the particles will stop quickly.
•Note: when you switch the appliance on, the steam generator will produce
a pumping sound. This is normal; this sound means that water is being
pumped into the steam generator. This will continue on and off during use.
•Note: during the heating process of the soleplate, a small amount of steam
may come out of the soleplate automatically. This will continue for about 3
seconds and is completely normal.

Using your steam station

default low steam rate indicator will start to flash. Turn the temperature dial
to your desired heat setting and the temperature light will illuminate.
Note: for best results, refer to IRO I G TIPS below.
5. The water in the tank will be heated after a few minutes and the
temperature indicator will turn off, which indicates that the soleplate
temperature has reached your selected heat setting.
6. Ensure that the selected steam indicator light has stopped flashing, as this
will indicate that the iron is ready for steam ironing. You can use the steam
function by pressing the steam release button on the iron.
7. You can select three steam modes (low, medium or high) by pressing the
steam rate control buttons on the panel (refer fig 3). Make sure there is
enough water in the water tank.
Warning: never touch the hot soleplate during use and ensure it has
completely cooled down after use before touching. ever direct the steam
spray at people or animals. Severe burns can occur if misused.
8. After ironing, press the Power switch for two seconds and the appliance
will turn OFF. Remove the plug from the wall socket.
aution: the soleplate will still be hot, even after the plug has been
removed from the socket. Place the iron down on the thermal insulating
cushion until it has cooled.

leaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning, ensure you disconnect the iron from the mains power outlet and
ensure the soleplate has cooled down completely.
1. Wipe flakes or any other deposits on the soleplate away with a damp cloth
or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
Note: do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to scrape the
soleplate.
2. Clean the upper part of the iron with a soft damp cloth. Wipe away any
water drops on the steam generator and thermal insulating cushion with a
dry cloth.
3. To remove the mineral deposits accumulated in the inner steam generator,
first put the iron horizontally on a level surface, then tilt the steam
generator and unscrew the drain water cap with the attached screwer, then
drain all of the water from the steam generator. (refer to fig 4 below)
Warning: to avoid risk of scalding from hot water, make sure the steam
generator has cooled down completely before unscrewing the drain water
cap.
Fig 4
4. After draining the water, screw the drain water cap back on tightly.
5. When the appliance is not being used for a long time, completely empty
the tank and store the iron on the thermal insulating cushion.
6. Wind the steam supply hose and the power cord around the cord winding
groove, then secure it by the cord clamps.
IRONING TIPS
•Always check the label on the item of clothing before starting your ironing.
Always follow these ironing instructions.
•The iron heats up quicker than it cools down. Therefore, you should start
ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperatures first, such as those
made of synthetic fibres.
•If the fabric consists of various types of fabrics/fibres, then you must
always select the lowest ironing temperature for those fibres.
•Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed
inside out.
•Velvet and other textures that rapidly becoming shiny should be ironed in
one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving all
times.
•Pure wool fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the steam iron.
Preferably set the temperature dial to the maximum position and use a dry
cloth as a mat.
•ever iron over a zip or rivet in the cloth. This will damage the soleplate.
Iron around any such objects.
