Task-specific assembly hints

You can use your new garment steamer for steaming clothing or furnishings in vertical (hanging) position as well as for ironing items on the integrated ironing board. The steam head may be used for steaming garments, or without steam for dry-ironing. Basic operation principles are explained on the following pages.

Please check the hints below for specific assembly instructions pertinent to the different usage methods.

Assembling the appliance for horizontal steaming or ironing

• Attach the main steamer unit to the platform (with the water in the tank), making sure it rests securely on the lug (wide metal hook). Lead the insulated steam supply hose through the guides on the left and right hand side of the platform, then rest the steam head in the head support.
• To unfold the ironing board, pull it gently, then extend the front leg by pushing it out with your foot to the maximum level (see Fig. 11, page 13).

Assembling the appliance for vertical garment steaming

• Pull out the telescopic poles to the desired height, then fasten the locks securely. Hang the garment on the garment hanger at the top of the poles.
• Attach the main steamer unit to the platform (with water in the tank), making sure it rests securely on the lug (wide metal hook). If required, lead the insulated steam supply hose through the guides so you have a comfortable length to work with.

Assembling the appliance for vertical steaming of curtains, furnishings or larger items

• For more freedom of movement when steaming furnishings or larger items, you may want attach the shoulder strap to the main steamer unit (with water tank). Strap attachment instructions are provided on page 13 (Fig. 10).
• With the main unit detached from the upright board structure, you have more freedom to move, within cord reach, for steaming items that do not fit on the ironing board or garment hanger.

Getting Started (Cont.)

Adjusting the water pressure

The STIRLING garment steamer with ironing board is equipped with a pump, which creates the pressure to drive water to the boiler for steam production. For the pump to work properly, enough water must be inside the system. The appliance has left the production site with a certain amount of water inside the pump, but prolonged storage can deplete the amount of water required. This can happen during transport, on the shop or warehouse shelves, or at your home, when you have not used the appliance for some time.

IMPORTANT: We therefore recommend that you adjust the water pressure when first assembling the garment steamer and after every longer period (5–6 months) of non-use.

To adjust the water pressure, proceed as follows:

1. Assemble the appliance and position it on a secure, level surface.
2. Fill the water tank as described on page 17. Do not close the tank, leave it open.
3. Instead of the water tank cap, install the pressure injector in the opening of the water tank (Fig. 14).
4. Plug in the appliance, switch the power on at the outlet, then set the power switch to the ON [I] setting (see Fig. 19, page 18).
5. After 60 seconds, when the appliance is fully heated, push the STEAM switch forward and let it work. Then press down the pressure injector 3–4 times (Fig. 15).
6. When steam is generating, power off the appliance. Remove the pressure injector and replace it with the water tank cap (Fig. 16), then restart the appliance.

NOTE: You can also use the pressure injector to push water into the pump manually if there is no steam output during use but the pump is working.

Water usage

IMPORTANT!

• Never fill the water tank with chemical substances, perfumes, vinegar, mineral water, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids, cleaning agents or liquids other than water when using the steam iron/garment steamer. These products may cause damage to the appliance.
• Before filling and refilling with water, always remove the plug from the mains power socket. Never refill the water tank while the appliance is connected to the electricity supply as there is a risk of electric shock.

NOTE: To extend the product life, we recommend using purified water: distilled, demineralised or cold, boiled water. (Tap water may be used if it is rated very soft in your locality. If you are unsure about the water hardness level in your area, please inquire at your local water services provider.)

Using the appliance

1. Filling the water tank

• Before resting the main steamer unit on the platform, fill the water tank.
• Turn the cap of the water tank to open the filling aperture (Fig. 17).
• Using the supplied measuring beaker, fill 800 mL of cold water into the tank — purified or cold, boiled water is preferred (Fig. 18).
  NOTE: Always add cold water to the water tank, hot water will damage the tank and the inside of the garment steamer.
• Close the tank again and tighten the cap securely.

FIRST USE

• Before steam-ironing garments we recommend using the self-clean function. This will ensure all dust and potential remnants from the manufacturing process are removed from the water tank and steam system. Instructions for using the self-clean function are provided on page 24. Alternatively, use the appliance on an old rag until you are satisfied that only clean water steam is emitted from the holes on the soleplate.
• On the first heating up of the appliance, a small volume of vapours and/or odour may be generated, caused by production residues. This is completely normal and is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open a window.

Instructions (Cont.)

Instructions (Cont.)

Steam head accessories

The garment steamer comes with two accessories for the steam head, which improve its versatility for use with different types of fabric.

The fabric brush can be used when steaming thicker, heavier fabrics for faster results. The brush will help open up the weave of fabrics to improve steam penetration and help remove dust and lint. Use light pressure with the fabric brush and guide it from top to bottom over the garment, in direction of the nap or weave of the fabric.

The steam defender prevents the soleplate coming into direct contact with the fabric. You can use it to help release wrinkles on more heat-sensitive fabrics that may otherwise get burnt from the heat of the soleplate. But always try on an inconspicuous part of the garment first, for example, on an inside seam.

CAUTION!

Before attaching an accessory, make sure the appliance is switched off, disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down for safe handling.

To attach an accessory to the steam head, hold the accessory at the soleplate of the steam head and push it firmly onto the front part of the soleplate.

To use the steam head with an accessory, hold the steam head and guide it slowly over the garment with the brush bristles (or the steam defender surface) touching the garment.

CAUTION: The soleplate is hot, take utmost care to avoid scalding!

HEAT-SENSITIVE FABRICS

• Exercise caution when steaming or ironing heat-sensitive fabrics such as nylon, polyamide or other synthetic fibres. Do not touch such fabrics directly with the hot soleplate of the steam head/iron. Always use the steam defender attachment, and always check at a concealed part first (e.g., inside seam) to ensure that the hot steam will not cause any damage to the garment.
• Should the care instructions in the garment forbid ironing ☑ do not use the garment steamer on it, or you will risk causing permanent damage to the garment.
• Do not use the appliance on leather, velvet, impregnated furniture or steam-sensitive materials. If you do, the material/furniture could become damaged.

Instructions (Cont.)

Curtain and soft furnishing care

Creases and wrinkles can be removed from heat-resistant curtains and draperies. Always carry out a test first on a concealed part of the item. Hang the item over a pole, then follow the directions on page 19 for vertical steaming. When steaming furnishings in situ, please refer to page 13 for strap attachment instructions.

WARNING!

Please ensure that everyone who is using this appliance is well aware of the operating methods. Improper operation may result in hot water and scale residues being sprayed onto the items to be steamed, or causing scalding.

After use

When you have finished using the garment steamer, take the following steps to prepare it for storage.

• Place the steam head in the iron rest on the telescopic pole (Fig. 24: A).
• Make sure the STEAM switch is set to dry-ironing.

Repair and Refurbished Goods or Parts Notice

Unfortunately, from time to time, faulty products are manufactured which need to be returned to the supplier for repair.

Please be aware that if your product is capable of retaining user-generated data (such as files stored on a computer hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile telephone, songs stored on a portable media player, games saved on a games console or files stored on a USB memory stick) during the process of repair, some or all of your stored data may be lost. We recommend you save this data elsewhere prior to sending the product for repair.

You should also be aware that rather than repairing goods, we may replace them with refurbished goods of the same type or use refurbished parts in the repair process.

Please be assured though, refurbished parts or replacements are only used where they meet ALDI's stringent quality specifications.

If at any time you feel your repair is being handled unsatisfactorily, you may escalate your complaint. Please telephone us on 1300 112 534 or write to us at:
