• Use the iron solely for ironing.

• Always turn the temperature-control dial to ‘min’ before putting the plug in the wall socket or removing the plug from the socket.

• Always take care when ironing in the vicinity of children. Never leave an iron unattended when it is switched on, even when the iron is standing on an ironing board.

• Touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam can cause burns. Take care when touching hot parts of the steam generator and iron. 1 Before using the iron for the first time, verify that the mains voltage stated on the base of the steam generator is the same as your mains voltage. 2 Remove all labels and stickers that may be attached to the iron. Some parts of the iron are lightly greased, and it is possible that the iron will emit a little smoke when used for the first time. This smoke will stop after a short period of time, and is not indicative of a defect. 3 To remove residue from the soleplate, set the temperature control dial to ‘max’, and iron over a damp cloth. Filling the water reservoir

• It is recommended that you fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water. This is particularly desirable in areas with hard water, since this will prevent the formation of excessive limescale.

• Make sure the water reservoir is always filled, even if you do not plan to use the steam function. 1 Make sure the appliance is not plugged in. 2 Remove the cap (nr.14) from the top of the water reservoir. 3 Fill the water reservoir with the indicated quantity of water (no higher than the ‘max’ level). 4 Put the cap back on the water reservoir and close it tightly. Ironing

• Never iron over zips, rivets in jeans, etc. These will damage the soleplate. Iron around any such objects.

• The steam generator’s holder for the iron will become hot. Do not touch it whilst you are ironing.

• Check whether ironing-instruction labels are attached to clothing. Always observe any such instructions.

• The filling aperture of the water reservoir must not be opened during use. See Figure 1. Dry ironing 1 Fill the water reservoir. 2 Put the iron on the steam generator’s holder (nr.12). 3 Put the plug in the wall socket and set the on/off switch (nr.10) to ‘on’. The iron starts heating. 4 Adjust the temperature by turning the iron’s temperature-control dial (nr.4) to the required setting. Adjust the temperature in accordance with the directions given in table 1. 5 When the indicator light on the iron (nr.5) turns off, the temperature is reached. You now can start ironing. Steam ironing 1 Fill the water reservoir. 2 Put the iron on the steam generator’s holder. 3 Put the plug in the wall socket and set the on/off switch to ‘on’. The iron starts heating. 4 Set the temperature-control dial in the desired position.10 Steam Station 4 BAR Article 320180 / 320181 5 Set the steam generator switch (nr.11) to ‘on’. The steam generator will now heat the water, and the stand-by light on the base’s control panel (nr.15) will light. Once the water has reached the required temperature, the light will be extinguished. 6 Adjust the quantity of steam to the required level by turning the steam quantity knob (nr.9) to the desired position. 7 Adjust the temperature by turning the iron’s temperature-control dial to the required setting. Adjust the temperature in accordance with the directions given in table 1. Table 1 8 The temperature indicator light on the iron is illuminated whilst the iron is heating up, and is extinguished once the iron has reached the set temperature. You can now start ironing. 9 Whilst you are ironing you can give a shot of steam by sliding the iron’s steam button (nr.3) back and then pressing it down with your index finger. (see figure

10 When pausing during ironing, return the iron to the holder on the steam generator. 11 When you have finished ironing return the iron to the holder on the steam generator, switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket. 12 Allow the appliance to cool. Refilling the water reservoir

• The steam station is protected with a safety valve: you can only unscrew the cap of the water reservoir when the pressure has lowered to below 1 bar. 1 When the water level in the reservoir is too low, the water-level indicator light (nr.16) on the steam generator's housing lights. 2 Switch off the steam generator and the irons on/off-switch to let the appliance cool down. 3 You may want to push the steam button to lower the pressure in the water reservoir faster. 4 When the pressure has lowered sufficiently, unscrew the cap. 5 Refill the reservoir, but be careful not to exceed the ‘max’ level.

To prolong the useful life of your NOVA Steam Station 4 BAR and prevent limescale, it is recommended to rinse and/ or descale the appliance weekly (or less often, depending on how frequently the appliance is used). Rinsing with water: 1 Half-fill the water reservoir and shake the reservoir. Allow the reservoir to drain, and repeat. Descale the appliance with vinegar or with a special descaling agent, available from (hardware) stores. With descaling agent: Always verify that the descaling agent is suitable for use with irons! Follow the directions given on the package. 1 Drain the steam generator before descaling (see ’Maintenance’). 2 Fill the water reservoir with 600 ml of descaling agent. Allow the solution to rest in the system overnight. 3 Put the iron horizontally on a surface and shake the steam generator. 4 Drain the steam generator. 5 Rinse a couple of times with clean water until the odor is gone, and drain the appliance each time. With vinegar: 1 Drain the steam generator before descaling (see ’Maintenance’). 2 Pour 50 ml of normal vinegar and 500 ml water in the reservoir. The proportion vinegar : water should be 1 : 10. 3 Allow the mixture to rest in the system overnight. 4 Put the iron horizontally on a surface and shake the steam generator.12 Steam Station 4 BAR Article 320180 / 320181 5 Drain the steam generator. 6 Rinse a couple of times with clean water until the odor is gone, and drain the appliance each time.
