GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION
AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912
Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,
developing and manufacturing housewares and small
appliances used by millions of households throughout the
UK and beyond. During the 1960s, the rise in popularity
of pressure cooking saw Tower become the UK’s largest
producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late
1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with
an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical
appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly
deserved status as a household name.

1. Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.
2. Before filling ensure that the anti-calc filter has been taken out of the tank and
the plug is removed from the wall socket.
3. When cool, remove the water tank from the base and empty any water that is
been left inside, then place the funnel in the opening to the tank.
4. Measure 0.5 litres (500ml) of water into an appropriate container, then pour
into the tank and replace it onto the unit base.
5. Once the tank is full, lift the iron from its base and hold it in your hand. Be
careful to hold the iron at a lower height than the base, as this will help make
the next few steps easier and more effective.
6. With the iron held low, press and hold the steam trigger for up to 30 seconds.
The pump will vibrate and there will be a rumbling sound as it fills up with
water.
7. When this sound becomes less pronounced and steam starts coming out of
the iron, let go of the steam trigger.
8. Your iron is now ready for normal use.
NOTE: On first use, we recommend cleaning the soleplate with a soft piece of scrap
cloth to ensure any residue from the manufacturing process is removed from it.
9. After filling the steam station, ensure it is placed on a flat, level and stable
surface.
10. Plug the power cord into an unobstructed wall socket then switch it on at the
wall.
11. Set the temperature dial on the iron to the correct temperature for the fabric
that is to be ironed (as shown in the temperature guide) then switch on the
steam generator and the iron via the switches on the base.
12. When the correct temperature is reached for the fabric, the light on the
iron may cycle on and off. This is normal and shows that the thermostat is
operating normally
13. Ensure all switches are in the ‘off’ position when you are finished using the
appliance.
14. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
4 - Before First Use

Moving and Carrying the Unit:
1. This unit is equipped with a carry handle on the base unit, which allows for
easy movement and transportation.
2. This base will come packed flat against the main body of the steam base. To
release it and position it upright, press the Unlock button on the side of the
base unit while firmly pulling the handle into a vertical position.
3. Once the handle is fully upright, release the Unlock button. The handle will
automatically lock into position, for safe transportation.
4. To restore the handle to its original horizontal position, press the Unlock button
again to release it, then push it gently downwards until it is flat against the
base unit. When the handle is in position, release the Unlock button to secure
it into place.
Filling the tank with water:
Caution! Before filling the tank with water make sure the appliance is unplugged
1. The steam ironing base must rest on a flat surface.
2. Empty the tank of any remaining water. Only pour in water when the tank is
empty.
3. Put a funnel in the filling hole.
4. Pour an adequate amount of water (max 1.4L) into the tank and then remove
the funnel.
5. Once the tank has been filled, slot it back into place within the unit’s base.
Connecting to the base unit:
• Connect the machine only if the mains voltage corresponds to the rated
voltage reported on the rating plate.
• The power cord and the steam tube between the tank and the iron must not
be damaged.
• The water tank must be filled with a sucient water quantity when the boiler
is empty (max 1.4L)
• The steam ejection outlet must not be obstructed.
• After filling the tank switch the Power Switch to on. The switch will light up
(this operation is not necessary if you want to use the steam ironing system as
a dry iron).
• Refer to the fabric setting guide below and set the thermostat dial accordingly.
• The indicator light next to the thermostat will go out when the iron’s soleplate
temperature has been reached. It will cycle on and off during use. This is
normal.
• When the steam is ready, the power light will be illuminated.
• If you need to refill the tank during ironing, unplug the iron from the mains
supply and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before carefully removing the
water tank.
• Always check first whether a label with ironing instructions is attached to the
article.
• The iron heats up quicker than it cools down, therefore, you should start ironing
the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those made of synthetic
fibres.

Textile Chart:
Ironing tips:
• When ironing a garment that consists of multiple fibre types it is
recommended to use the lowest heat setting.
• Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in one
direction with light pressure applied.
• Always keep the iron moving at any given moment to prevent overheating of
the fabrics
• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set to a steam
position. Preferably, set the steam button to the maximum position and use a
dry cloth as a mat.
• To prevent staining, do not spray water straight on silk or other delicate fabrics.

6 - Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
The appliance does
not produce any
steam.
Fill the water tank beyond the MIN fill line. Press and hold the
steam trigger until steam comes out. It may take up to 30 seconds
until steam comes out.
Press the steam trigger and keep it pressed when you iron.
The iron leaves a
shine or an imprint
on the garment.
The surface to be ironed was uneven, for instance because you were
ironing over a seam or a fold in the garment.
The ironing board
cover becomes wet
or water droplets
come out of the
soleplate.
Steam has condensed on the ironing board cover after a long
ironing session.
There is too much
steam coming out of
the iron.
The default setting of the iron is the Optimal Temp setting. In this
setting the iron provides a high steam output.

7 - Recycling

12
Limescale:
Due to the high amount of steam this steam generator produces, limescale tends
to form inside the water tank with repeated uses. Since high amounts of limescale
can affect the high-precision components inside the iron, it is important that
limescale build-up be kept to a minimum.
This unit is equipped with an anti-calc filter inside the water tank, which
automatically cleans the tank and prevents limescale build-up from affecting the
pump and other components inside the iron.
This anti-calc filter should be replaced periodically. How often this filter should be
replaced will depend on how often the iron is used and how hard the water is in
the area. For information on water hardness in your area, consult your local water
provider.
If large amounts of limescale are still building up inside the water tank even after
filtering, this indicates the filter has stopped working. Should this occur, please
replace the anti-calc filter.
NOTE: Replacement water tanks and anti-calc lters for this unit are available from our
website, under the following product codes:
Water tank: T22006002
Filter: T22006001
WARNING: Never pour vinegar or other liquid cleaners for eliminating calcium into
the water tank.
After ironing:
Disconnect the power supply and allow the iron to cool completely.
Empty any water left in the water tank.
Reconnect the iron to the power supply, then disconnect it again after the indicator
light goes out. This dries the soleplate.
Let the iron completely cool down, then wipe flakes and any other deposits on the
soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
Clean the upper part of the iron and the base with a damp cloth.
Always store the emptied iron and base horizontally, on a stable surface, with a
cloth protecting the soleplate.
To store the power cord, wrap it around the cord storage area on the side of the
base.
8 - Cleaning & Care
WARNING:
Do not immerse any electrical part of the appliance in water
such as motor units or plugs.
