B Product usage
Before first use
- Before using the product for the first time, make sure it is switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
- Clean the product's exterior with a soft, damp cloth, then dry it thoroughly.
- Do not immerse the product in water or any other liquid.
- Remove the tank from its housing. Fill your tank via the water filler to its maximum level (1.8 L), then reposition the tank.
- Unlock your iron by sliding the iron release button to the left, towards the square symbol.
- Place your steam station on a flat, stable surface. Plug the cable into an electrical socket.
- Press the power button on the control panel once. The unit will then beep, and the operation indicator light will light up to indicate that the unit is on.
Note: The low steam indicator light will turn on because the low steam level is pre-programmed for when the unit starts up.
- Press the steam level selection button twice to select the maximum level. The maximum steam indicator will light up.
- Turn the thermostat knob to the MAX position. The iron preheating indicator light will turn on to indicate that the iron is heating up. Repeatedly press the steam control button to start the steam function, then iron over a tea towel for 10 minutes to remove any residue inside or on the soleplate.
Note: Steam is emitted in less than 15 seconds to indicate that the unit is ready.
Note: Odours and particles may be emitted from the unit during its first few uses. This is normal and will quickly stop. When you turn on your steam station, a pumping sound will be heard emanating from the unit. This is normal and indicates that water is being pumped through the system. During the iron's preheating phase, water may drip from the unit. This will only last a few seconds.
Use
Filling the tank
1. Remove the water tank from its housing by grasping its handle.
B. Product usage
Fill the tank using a measuring cup (not supplied) or directly under the tap, whilst taking care not to exceed the MAX level [1.8 L].
- Next, correctly reposition the tank in the station. Remember to always fill the tank before each use.
- During use, should you need to top up the tank, you must first remember to switch off the station by pressing the power button once. Remove the water tank by grasping its handle, then fill the tank via a measuring cup. Correctly reposition the tank in the station. Press the power button once to restart the station.
- Your unit is equipped with an empty water tank detection system. The indicator light will switch on and the unit will emit 2 beeps whenever there is not enough water in the tank. Furthermore, the steam function will automatically switch off. It is of the utmost importance to never fill the water tank past the indicated MAX level.
Note: Your unit has been designed to work with tap water. If your water is very hard, we recommend that you mix 50% tap water with 50% deionised water. Always ensure that the water tank has been correctly repositioned in the unit after being filled. To avoid damaging the unit, do not add perfume, vinegar, starch, descaler or any other chemicals to the tank.
Locking and unlocking your iron
3. Unlocking your iron: slide the iron release button to the left, towards the cap symbol. Locking your iron and moving the steam station: place the iron on its iron rest, making sure that the tip of the soleplate is properly inserted into the soleplate tip housing. 5. Slide the iron release button to the right, towards the symbol. Make sure the iron is properly locked before moving the steam station via the iron's handle.
Using your unit

B Product usage

Dry ironing
- To dry iron without steam, turn the thermostat knob and set it between the and MAX position, depending on the type of fabric. For best results, wait for the heating indicator light to turn off. Do not press the steam control.
Steam ironing
- To steam iron, turn the thermostat knob and set it between the MAX and position, depending on the type of fabric. Select your level of steam flow. Wait for the heating indicator light to turn off before starting to iron. Remember to press the steam control to use this function.
Note: The boiler pressure increases according to the selected steam flow level. The selected steam flow indicator light flashes whilst heating up, then remains steadily lit when the boiler is ready.
A few drops of water may drip from the soleplate when the station is switched on. This is due to any steam condensation that has accumulated inside the steam cable after your previous use. Simply hold the iron over an old rag and press the steam control until the station generates steam. During use, if you notice any particles escaping from the soleplate, we recommend descaling the boiler.
Vertical steam
- Set the thermostat to MAX and then vertically position the iron in such a way that it is facing the garment, then press the steam control for 10 second intervals.
Steam boost function
- Turn the thermostat knob and set it between the MAX and position, depending on the type of fabric. Select high steam flow mode. Wait for the heating indicator light to turn off before starting to iron.
Note: You must wait 15 seconds between each double press of the button.
Automatic shutdown of the station
- If the station is not used for a period of 10 minutes, then the unit will beep and switch off automatically. Press the power button to turn your steam station back on again.
Station shutdown and storage
- Turn your iron's thermostat knob to the MIN position. Place your iron on its iron rest, then lock it into position. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to switch off the station. Unplug the station and let it fully cool down before putting it away.
- Wind the power cable and the steam cable around the station, making sure that each cable fits into the cable storage space.
After each use, remove the water tank from its housing, then empty any water remaining in the tank into the sink.
WARNING!
Whilst the unit is in use, the surfaces can become hot enough to potentially cause burns. Do not touch the unit's hot surfaces. Do not direct the iron-generated steam towards people or animals.
Ironing tips
- Always refer to the labels on your clothes to choose the suitable ironing setting. Always set the ironing temperature to that recommended on the care/ironing labels found on clothing and other textiles (sheets, curtains, etc.).
- For synthetics, blends and silk, we recommend choosing the lowest setting.
- Never iron over zips, studs or any other metal decorations, as this will damage the iron's soleplate.
