Due to the powerful output of steam, Hoover recommends the use of an active
ironing board with blowing and vacuuming function which allows escape of any
excess steam.
Place the ironing system on a stable and level surface, for example on the hard part
of an ironing board or on a heat-resistant surface.
The Hoover ironing system has been designed to be used with tap water only. There
is no need to use distilled or pure distilled water. Nevertheless, in case you live in a
hard water area, you can mix 50% of distilled water with 50% of tap water. Do not
use any other kind of water or do not add any contents to the removable water tank
as it can damage your appliance.
Open the water tank filler cover (4) to gain access to the water tank. Fill it with tap
water with the help of a bottle. Do not exceed the max mark.
Warning: Do not add vinegar, hot water, perfume, or any other kind of chemical
agents or any other contents in the water tank. It could damage the steam
generator and shorten its life use.
Domestic Iron Models:
Connect the appliance with the mains cord to an earthed socket and switch on the
power. Press the on/off switch. The light (1a) will illuminate, this tells you that the
appliance is working and that the boiler is heating up.
After approximately 2 minutes, the "steam ready" led will light off and you can now
start to use the steam feature.
Professional Iron Models:
Connect the appliance with the main cord to an earthed socket. Press the iron on/
off switch (1d) and the boiler on/off switch (1e). The lights of both switches should
light up and inform you that the appliance is working and the iron soleplate and
boiler are heating up.
