The Steam Station Iron is designed to be used with normal tap water only. In hard
water areas it is recommended to use distilled water as minerals or other elements
may cause wear to the appliance and staining to clothes.
Remove any packaging material and promotional labels before using your Steam
Station Iron for the first time. You may notice an odour from the unit for the first use.
This is normal and will cease after a short while.
Before First Use
Water Use
The Steam Station Iron has a locking mechanism for the iron which keeps the iron
safely in place and allows easy transport. To release, press the iron release button
and rotate the iron clockwise off the iron rest.

If the water is low, the low water level indicator light will illuminate. At this point the
iron can generate little to no steam. To refill the tank during use, detach the water
tank (the unit will beep) and refill with water. Slide the tank back into position and
wait for the boiler to reheat.
The Steam Station Iron has a safety auto-off function which turns the unit off
automatically after 10 minutes of non-use. If you need to turn the unit back on,
simply press the ON/OFF button and follow instructions as per page 12.
Your Steam Station Iron is equipped with boil dry protection meaning if there is no
water in the water tank or running through the boiler the unit will shut off.
The Steam Station Iron has an automatic descaling function to assist in notifying
when the boiler should be flushed. Mineral deposits can build up in the appliance
potentially blocking steam holes and affecting overall performance. When the
descale indicator light illuminates it means the boiler should be cleaned. Follow
cleaning instructions listed on page 17.

Vertical Steaming
Vertical steaming is an alternative way to smooth out creases in garments or curtains.
The high steam pressure of the Steam Station Iron can provide bursts of steam while
holding the iron vertically. For best results utilise on delicate or light fabrics. To produce
the maximum amount of steam, set the steam setting to HIGH. Only direct steam at
hanging garments or curtains in a safe area and ensure you always refer to garment
manufacturer recommendations.
Cleaning and Storage
Before cleaning the Steam Station Iron, ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged from
the power point. If recently used, allow time for the iron to cool down completely. This
may take up to 2 hours.
Clean the base, iron and soleplate by wiping with a moist cloth.
When storing the Steam Station Iron ensure the following steps are taken.
1. Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point.
2. Empty the water tank.
3. Allow the iron to cool completely before storing. Wrap the cord and steam hose
around the base to store neatly
WARNING: Do not direct the steam onto a garment that is being worn or at any persons.
WARNING: DO NOT immerse the main unit or iron in water or any other liquid.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or chemicals as this can damage the
appliance and soleplate.
