General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase receipt and
carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures
when using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your local outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond
to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating label and your outlet socket is
properly earthed. If this is not the case, do not use the appliance.
• Separate circuit: To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
• WARNING: Do not immerse! Never immerse the cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquid, or expose the electrical connections to water or other
liquid. Should liquids enter the housing, unplug the appliance from the power
socket immediately and arrange for it to be repaired by a qualified technician.
• Protect from moisture: Do not use the appliance outdoors or expose it to
humidity. Never use the appliance adjacent to water contained in a bath,
shower, wash basin or other vessel. The proximity of moisture presents a
danger, even when the appliance is switched off. Do not operate the appliance
or touch the power cord or plug with wet hands.
• No extension cord: Always unwind the power cord fully before switching on
and do not use an extension cord. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
a 15A rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.
Take care when arranging the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Protect the power cord: Do not damage, kink or squash the power cord and
protect it from sharp edges. Do not let the cord touch any hot surface, including
the ironing/steaming surface. Unwind and straighten the cord before use, then
arrange the cord in such a way that no one can step on it or trip over it.
• Damage: Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped, if there are visible
signs of damage or if it is leaking. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced by
the manufacturer or a qualified technician in order to avoid a hazard. In case of
damage, please contact our after sales support centre.

Task-specific assembly hints
You can use your new garment steamer for steaming clothing or furnishings in
vertical (hanging) position as well as for ironing items on the integrated ironing
board. The steam head may be used for steaming garments, or without steam for
dry-ironing. Basic operation principles are explained on the following pages.
Please check the hints below for specific assembly instructions pertinent to the
different usage methods.
Assembling the appliance for horizontal steaming or ironing
• Attach the main steamer unit to the platform (with the water in the tank), making
sure it rests securely on the lug (wide metal hook). Lead the insulated steam
supply hose through the guides on the left and right hand side of the platform,
then rest the steam head in the head support.
• To unfold the ironing board, pull it gently, then extend the front leg by pushing it
out with your foot to the maximum level (see Fig. 11, page 13).
Assembling the appliance for vertical garment steaming
• Pull out the telescopic poles to the desired height, then fasten the locks
securely. Hang the garment on the garment hanger at the top of the poles.
• Attach the main steamer unit to the platform (with water in the tank), making
sure it rests securely on the lug (wide metal hook). If required, lead the insulated
steam supply hose through the guides so you have a comfortable length to
work with.
Assembling the appliance for vertical steaming of curtains, furnishings or
larger items
• For more freedom of movement when steaming furnishings or larger items, you
may want attach the shoulder strap to the main steamer unit (with water tank).
Strap attachment instructions are provided on page 13 (Fig. 10).
• With the main unit detached from the upright board structure, you have more
freedom to move, within cord reach, for steaming items that do not fit on the
ironing board or garment hanger.

Adjusting the water pressure
The STIRLING garment steamer with ironing board is equipped with a pump,
which creates the pressure to drive water to the boiler for steam production.
For the pump to work properly, enough water must be inside the system. The
appliance has left the production site with a certain amount of water inside the
pump, but prolonged storage can deplete the amount of water required. This can
happen during transport, on the shop or warehouse shelves, or at your home,
when you have not used the appliance for some time.
IMPORTANT: We therefore recommend that you
adjust the water pressure when first assembling
the garment steamer and after every longer
period (5–6 months) of non-use.
To adjust the water pressure, proceed as follows:
1. Assemble the appliance and position it on a
secure, level surface.
2. Fill the water tank as described on page 17.
Do not close the tank, leave it open.
3. Instead of the water tank cap, install the
pressure injector in the opening of the
water tank (Fig. 14).
4. Plug in the appliance, switch the power on
at the outlet, then set the power switch to the
ON [ I ] setting (see Fig. 19, page 18).
5. After 60 seconds, when the appliance is fully
heated, push the STEAM switch forward
and let it work. Then press down
the pressure injector 3–4 times (Fig. 15).
6. When steam is generating, power off the
appliance. Remove the pressure injector
and replace it with the water tank cap
(Fig. 16), then restart the appliance.
NOTE: You can also use the pressure injector
to push water into the pump manually if there
is no steam output during use but the pump is
working.

Water usage
IMPORTANT!
• Never fill the water tank with chemical substances, perfumes, vinegar, mineral
water, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, cleaning agents or liquids other
than water when using the steam iron/garment steamer. These products may
cause damage to the appliance.
• Before filling and refilling with water, always remove the plug from the
mains power socket. Never refill the water tank while the appliance is
connected to the electricity supply as there is a risk of electric shock.
NOTE: To extend the product life, we recommend using purified water: distilled,
demineralised or cold, boiled water. (Tap water may be used if it is rated very soft
in your locality. If you are unsure about the water hardness level in your area,
please inquire at your local water services provider.)
Fig. 17 Fig. 18
Using the appliance
1. Filling the water tank
• Before resting the main steamer unit on the platform, fill the water tank.
• Turn the cap of the water tank to open the filling aperture (Fig. 17).
• Using the supplied measuring beaker, fill 800 mL of cold water into the tank —
purified or cold, boiled water is preferred (Fig. 18).
NOTE: Always add cold water to the water tank, hot water will damage the
tank and the inside of the garment steamer.
• Close the tank again and tighten the cap securely.

2. Electrical connection
• Make sure the POWER switch is in the OFF [ O ] position and the STEAM
switch is pulled to the back (no steam).
• Insert the appliance plug into an appropriate 220–240 V~ power outlet and
switch on the power at the outlet.
• To start up the appliance, set the power switch to the ON [ I ] position (Fig. 19).
3. Steam production
• Let the appliance run for one minute, then push the STEAM switch forward
to generate steam for steaming or steam-ironing your garments (Fig. 20).
• Pull back the STEAM switch to stop steam production.
FIRST USE
• Before steam-ironing garments we recommend using the self-clean
function. This will ensure all dust and potential remnants from the
manufacturing process are removed from the water tank and steam system.
Instructions for using the self-clean function are provided on page 24.
Alternatively, use the appliance on an old rag until you are satisfied that only
clean water steam is emitted from the holes on the soleplate.
• On the first heating up of the appliance, a small volume of vapours and/or
odour may be generated, caused by production residues. This is completely
normal and is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example,
open a window.
