Before First Use; Preliminary Settings; Steam Ironing - Russell Hobbs 24420-56 Manual De Instrucciones

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove any labels, stickers or packaging from the iron and soleplate.
• Before using the iron for the first time, or if it's not been used for a long time, iron a scrap piece of
cotton (an old towel is ideal) to remove any accumulated residues.
• Don't worry if the iron smokes a bit at first, it will soon stop as the manufacturing residues evaporate.
FILLING/REFILLING
You may use the iron with tap-water, but if you live in a hard water area, you should use distilled water (not
chemically descaled or softened water).
If you buy distilled water, check that it's suitable for use in irons.
1. Remove the reservoir by pulling it away from the body of the steam generator using the grip on the
front of the reservoir .
Fill the reservoir to the max mark. Do not exceed the max mark.
2.
3. Refit the reservoir into the base unit.

PRELIMINARY SETTINGS

1. Put the iron on top of the base unit.
2. Put the plug into the power socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
Turn the unit on by setting the on/off button to I.
3.
4. Turn the temperature control to bring the setting you require next to the mark.

When the soleplate reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will stay permanently on.

STEAM IRONING

Set the temperature control to S or higher – otherwise the steam might condense on the soleplate,
1.
giving you water instead of steam.
2. Squeeze the steam trigger to produce steam, release it to stop.
NOTE: When you first start your steam station and pull the trigger for steam ironing, there will be a
delay as your steam station pumps water from the reservoir to prime the system. This is normal
and may take 20-30 seconds. This will also happen after refilling the reservoir.
