Frequently Asked Questions - BSS-1439 Becken

How do I descale the iron?

Mix equal parts water and white vinegar, fill tank, set iron to high heat, steam over a cloth until tank is empty. Rinse with fresh water. Repeat if needed.

What kind of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup. Do not use tap water in hard water areas.

Why is my iron leaking water?

Ensure temperature is set correctly for steam use (usually above 3 dots). If anti-drip fails, descale the iron and allow it to cool before refilling.

How do I use the steam burst function?

Press the steam burst button firmly while ironing. For best results, wait a few seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat.

Can I use the iron vertically?

Yes, the vertical steaming function allows you to steam hanging garments or curtains. Hold iron upright and press steam button.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a paste of baking soda and water. Do not use metal scrubbers.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

If the iron is left unattended on its heel or laid flat for 8 minutes, it automatically turns off to prevent accidents.

How do I refill the water tank?

Unplug iron, open the water inlet cover, tilt iron and pour water using a cup. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Why is there no steam?

Check water level, temperature setting (must be high enough), and that the steam button is pressed. If problem persists, descale the iron.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact Becken customer service or check authorized online retailers. Common parts include water tank and soleplate.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For the models below, only the steam button or steam trigger is slightly different to the iron above; the product is operated in the same way.

2.2. Using the Product

Take the device out of the box and remove the packing. In order to ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance between the iron and the wall or other objects should be at least 15 cm at the back and 15 cm on the side.

• Place the device on a stable and heat-resistant surface.
  • Take off the tank.
• Fill with tap water or demineralized water. The water tank capacity is 1.6 liters.
• Insert the plug in the power socket and turn on the switch.
• Wait until the steam indicator light turns on.
• Turn on the iron by pressing the power switch which will light. The iron operating indicator will also light.
• Adjust the temperature dial to the type of fabric you want to iron.

Note:

If you want to use steam ironing, we suggest you set the temperature dial to MAX. When the iron operating light goes out, the appliance is ready for use.

Note:

During use, the iron operating light indicator will go on and off at different intervals, this is normal.

• Adjust the steam jet by turning the temperature dial.
• Press the steam button to release the steam jet.
  • After ironing:

  1. Put the iron on the stand.
  2. Switch the appliance off.
  3. Remove the mains plug from the power socket and let the iron cool down.

To obtain a continuous steam jet, press the steam button. If the steam stops, this is probably because there is no more water in the tank. In order to continue ironing, add water.

Steaming Fabrics

Follow the instructions.

Place the iron vertically at a minimum distance of 20-30 cm from curtains or fabrics, and press the steam button. Then steam the fabrics in a circular movement.

Note:

Be very careful about the compatibility of the fabric label with this kind of treatment. The water tank has super-large capacity and can be used for a long time. The iron will buzz when out of water (this sound will stop after 30 seconds). You can pull out the water tank easily to fill it.

Note:

When you use the appliance for the first time or after de-scaling, a lot of water will be pumped from the detachable water tank into the steam station. Refill the tank, if necessary.

Setting the Temperature

• 1. Check the garment label for the required ironing temperature:

● Synthetic fabrics (e.g. acrylic, viscose, polyamide) and silk
●● Wool
●●● Cotton
MAX Linen

• 1. Set the temperature dial to the required ironing temperature by turning it to the appropriate temperature indication.
• 1. Insert the plug into an earthed power socket and press the power switch.

The steam station and the iron will now start heating.

The iron takes about 1 minute to heat up to ●● and the steam station takes approx. 2 minutes to heat.

As soon as the steam station has reached its maximum pressure level and is ready for steam ironing, the steam indicator light turns on.

Tips

• If the item consists of various fibers, always select the temperature required by the most delicate fiber, i.e. the lowest temperature. If, for example, the fabric consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, it should be ironed at the temperature indicated for polyester (●●).
• If you do not know what kind of fabric the item is made of, determine the right ironing temperature by ironing a part that will not be visible when you wear the item.
• Silk, woolen and synthetic materials: iron on the reverse side of the fabric to prevent shiny patches.
• Fabrics that tend to get shiny patches should be ironed in one direction only while applying very little pressure.
• Start ironing the items that require the lowest ironing temperature first, i.e. those made of synthetic materials.
• To make the iron cool down faster, simply apply steam or iron on a piece of cloth.

2.3. Maintenance

After each use

Never immerse the iron in water or rinse it under the tap.

• 1. Clean the iron with a damp cloth.

BECKEN

- 2. Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning agent.

De-scaling

Never remove the de-scaling cover and unscrew the de-scaling nut inside when the steam station is hot.

2.4. Troubleshooting

Please check the following before repair.

Problem Possible cause(s) Solution
The appliance does not heat	There is a connection problem.	Check the mains cord the plug and the wall socket.
	The steam station has not been switched on.	Turn on the power switch.
	The temperature dial has been set to MIN.	Set the temperature dial to the required ironing temperature
The iron does not produce any steam.	There is not enough water in the detachable water tank.	Fill the detachable water tank
	The steam indicator light is still off.	Wait until the steam indicator light goes on.
	The selected ironing temperature is too low for steam ironing.	Set the temperature higher than ●●
	The detachable water tank has not been properly attached to the steam station.	Attach the detachable water tank to the steam station properly.
	When the iron has been set to a very high temperature, the steam produced is dry and hardly visible. It will be even less visible when the ambient temperature is relatively high and it will be entirely invisible when the temperature has been set to MAX.	Set the iron to a lower temperature, e.g. ●●, to check if the iron is actually producing steam.
Water droplets come out of the soleplate.	The selected temperature is too low for steam ironing.	Set the temperature higher than ●●.
	When you start steam ironing and when you have stopped steam ironing for a while the steam that was still present in the hose will have cooled down and condensed into water which causes water droplets to come out of the soleplate.	This is perfectly normal. Hold the iron over an old cloth and press the steam activator when you start ironing again. Wait until steam instead of water comes out of the soleplate.
Smoke comes out of the new iron when it is switched on.	Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased in the factory and may initially give off some smoke when heated.	This phenomenon is perfectly normal and will cease after a short while.
The appliance produces a pumping sound.	Water is being pumped into the steam station.	This is normal.
The steam station buzzes all the time.	The detachable water tank is empty or there is not enough water.	Fill the detachable water tank with water.
	The position of the detachable water tank is wrong.	Shake the steam station, or press the detachable water tank into the steam station. Attach the water tank to the steam station properly.
Dirty water comes out of the soleplate.	Too much scale and minerals have accumulated inside the steam station.	Rinse the steam station. See the “Maintenance” section.
