HOW TO USE
PRIMING THE PUMP
OK so your Steam Generator Iron is now switched on and heating up nicely. When the
indicator on the display stops flashing, it has reached temperature.
1. Lift the iron from the base
2. Hold it lower than the base (on first time use like this, gravity helps to get water
to the hand unit more quickly)
3. Press and HOLD the steam release button for up to 40 seconds
4. The pump will make a vibration noise that will become quieter as it becomes
primed with water.
5. When fully primed and ready, steam (and lots of it) will come from the hand unit
and the pump will make a quiet pulsing noise.
6. If this is the first time use, we recommend ironing a piece of scrap linen or cotton
material to ensure any residual material from the manufacturing process is
removed from the iron and sole plate.
7. Your new iron is now primed and ready for work!
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Please refer to the ironing temperature guide above. When you begin your ironing
session, start with the LOWER temperature fabrics first because the iron takes
longer to cool down than it does to heat up.
If you need to go from high temperature to low temperature then set the thermostat
to lower temperature and wait until the display stops flashing (NOTE: there is no
steam function on the very low setting)
DRY IRONING
If the garment requires dry ironing then don’t press the steam release button
during ironing. On the lower temperature setting eg NYLON the steam function is
not available, since the sole plate doesn’t get hot enough to produce steam at this
temperature.
If you are unsure about the correct setting for your iron or if the garment label is
missing then try ironing a small inconspicuous area of the garment first.
