6. Turn the iron plate's temperature regulating knob (6) to the position
"cotton°°°" (indicated on the iron knob).
7. Wait for the boiler button's red light (4) to turn off (it takes about 10 minutes).
NOTE: While ironing, the boiler button's red light normally turns on and off,
indicating the heating element is activated or not.
8. NOTE: When you call for steam for the first time (after having turned the
boiler on) you might notice a fast decrease in pressure. This is normal for the
first time.
9. The steam station is ready for use.
10. Push the steam button (7) on the iron for steam.
11. This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5). During
operation, if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water
to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.
• Press the steam iron button (7) to ensure there is no more steam in
the boiler.
• Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with warm
water.
• Replace the cap, tighten and press the thermostat reset button (8), wait
for it to build up pressure again.
IMPORTANT
When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill cap one-turn on
the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will eliminate the vacuum that
may cause damage to the pressure gauge.
The boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup removed
from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period between clean-
ings depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness of the water used. If
the unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we recommend a cleaning
every two weeks to a month.
TO CLEAN THE BOILER UNIT
1. Unplug the unit from the wall.
2. Add a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water and pour inside the
boiler tank to capacity. Let the vinegar solution sit overnight.
3. Pick up the boiler unit and pour approximately half of the solution out of the
boiler tank. Vigorously shake/swirl the remaining solution around the tank to
loosen and pick up any softened sediment that may have accumulated inside.
Pour the remaining solution out of the tank. You may see bits of sediment and
mineral come out at this point.
