using your steam generator

Steam ironing

 During steam ironing, if you do not allow your steam generator to reach the 

selected temperature water may drip from the soleplate. During use the steam pipe 

and iron rest will become very hot.

It is recommended that for harder to iron fabrics such as cotton and linen, steam should 

be used when ironing.
When ironing cotton and linen, always select the highest temperature. Steam should 

never be used on delicate fabrics like nylons, acrylics and synthetics.

1.  Fill the water tank with water.
2.  Plug your steam generator into the mains supply and press the on/off button to switch 

your steam generator on.

3.  Rotate the temperature control ring to set the pointer to between the 

ll

 and the 

maximum heat (MAX) setting. 

4.   The temperature indicator light will light up as your steam generator heats up. When 

the temperature indicator light goes out your steam generator is at the selected 

temperature. The temperature indicator light will turn on and off during ironing as 

your steam generator maintains the correct temperature.

5.  You will hear a buzzing sound as the pump inside your steam generator operates and 

transfers water from the water tank to the boiler where steam is produced. Set the 

desired amount of steam as described below in the 

Adjusting the amount of steam

section. The steam indicator light will flash as your steam generator heats the water 

to create steam. When the steam indicator light stops flashing, your steam generator 

is ready to use. The steam indicator light will occasionally flash during ironing. This is 

normal.

6.  With the soleplate in contact with the garment, press the steam trigger for a couple of  

seconds. It is not necessary to hold the trigger down continuously as steam will still 

be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the trigger has been released. If 

more steam is required, press the steam trigger again.

Always release the trigger and allow any residual steam to be released before 

replacing the iron on its stand.

The pump will occasionally start and stop during ironing. This is normal

Adjusting the amount of steam

1.  You can adjust the amount of steam using the steam control. 
2.  Turn the steam control clockwise to increase steam, or anticlockwise to decrease 

steam. Steam can be switched off by turning it fully anticlockwise to OFF.
