Frequently Asked Questions - GCSTBS5855013 OSTER

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water inlet cover, tilt the iron, and fill using the provided measuring cup. Do not exceed the MAX line. Close the cover securely.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale buildup. Do not use chemically softened water.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Wait for the iron to cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use the self-cleaning function periodically.

How do I use the steam function?

Ensure water is in the tank. Set the temperature to a steam setting (e.g., cotton). Press the steam button for bursts or use the continuous steam selector.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• When using the Iron for the first time, test it on a piece of old cloth to be sure that the Soleplate and the Water Reservoir are clean.
• It is possible that the Iron will discharge some smoke or give off a slight odor during its first usage. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. This is completely normal and will stop shortly afterwards.
• When not ironing, always have the Steam Select Switch turned to the closed position ✗

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Set the Steam Iron in an upright position and insert the plug into the wall electrical outlet.
• Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
• The Indicator Light will go on and once the selected temperature is reached, the light will go off and you can begin to Iron. The Indicator Light will be on every time the Iron is heating. Once it reaches the temperature setting, the Indicator Light will turn off. The Light will turn on and off from time to time while you are ironing since the thermostat automatically maintains the Soleplate at the same temperature.
• The Large Soleplate increases ironing efficiency while the non-stick finish included on models 5803, 5813, 5804, 5805, 5806, 5807 & 5812 and the ceramic non-stick finish include on models 5854, 5855, 5856 & 5857 makes gliding across fabrics even smoother.
• Another important feature of your Steam Iron is the 180^ Swivel Cord, which prevents tangling and allows for easy use by both right and left handed people.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER

- This Steam Iron may be used with normal tap water. However, if the water of the region in which you live is especially hard, it is recommended to use distilled water to prolong the life of your Iron.

- Do not use water that has been desalinated with chemicals.

FILLING WITH WATER

• Turn off the Iron and disconnect the plug from the electrical wall outlet before filling the Iron with water.
• Turn the Steam Select Switch to the closed position
• Set the Iron in the position indicated below (figure 2) and fill it with water, no higher than the Max fill level shown on the See Through Water Window.

DRY IRONING

• Insert the plug in the electrical wall socket.
• Make sure that the Steam Select Switch is in the closed position ✗
• Select the desired temperature on the Temperature Control Dial.
  • After the Indicator Light goes off, you may start to iron.

STEAM IRONING

• Steam ironing is only possible at high temperatures ("●", "●"), as indicated on the Temperature Control Dial.
• Be sure that there is enough water in the Reservoir.
• Set the iron in an upright position.
• Plug the steam Iron into the wall electrical outlet.

• Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired position within the range of temperatures included in the steam area of the dial.

• Wait until the Indicator Light has turned off after lighting up.

SPRAY MIST

(Models 5804, 5854, 5805, 5855, 5806, 5856, 5807 & 5857 Only)

• The Spray Mist feature is a powerful water spray mist that dampens the fabric to help remove wrinkles from heavy fabrics and to set creases.
• Press the Spray Mist button firmly to start the spray.

DUAL SHOT OF STEAM

This feature allows you to use shot of steam while ironing horizontally or vertically, as the next two sections describe.

SHOT OF STEAM

(Models 5805, 5855, 5806, 5856, 5807 & 5857 Only)

• The Shot of Steam feature provides an extra burst of steam for deep penetration of stubborn wrinkles. The Shot of Steam feature can be used with dry or steam ironing provided it has at least a 14 tank of water and the Temperature Control Dial is set within the steam band.
• Allow the iron to heat for approximately two minutes. Make sure that the steam select switch is in the off position ✗ for optimal performance.
• Press the Shot of Steam Button several times to prime the pump.
• Press the Shot of Steam Button another three to four times in order to clean the unit.
• The Shot of Steam feature is now ready for use. The Shot of Steam feature can be used continuously with just a short pause between shots. The Shot of Steam feature is most effective with the Iron held in a horizontal position just above the fabric being ironed.
• If the Water Reservoir runs dry, unplug the Iron and refill with water. The Iron may be filled with water while it is hot. Note: It may be necessary to re-prime the pump before using the Shot of Steam feature again.

VERTICAL SHOT OF STEAM (Models 5806, 5856, 5807 & 5857 Only)

The vertical shot of steam feature allows your iron to function as a garment steamer. Tip: When using the vertical shot of steam on clothing, hang the clothing on a cloth hanger for best results. Hanging curtains and drapes may also be steamed.

How to use Vertical Steam:

1. Allow iron to warm up (2 minutes). Make sure that the steam select switch is in the off position ✗ for optimal performance.
2. Hold the iron in a vertical position, with the iron close to but not touching the fabric you want to steam.
3. With your other hand, pull the fabric tight.
4. Press the Shot of Steam button in approximately 3-second intervals as you move the iron across the wrinkled area.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of burns, keep your hand away from the area being steamed.

WARNING: DO NOT steam garments while wearing them; this may result in injuries.

IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Check the ironing instructions on the label of the item that you wish to iron. Check the temperature settings table for further instructions.
• Should the specific ironing instructions not appear on the label, follow instructions on the temperature settings table. This table is only valid for the fabrics indicated and does not apply to special textiles with a gloss finish, etc. Textiles with special coatings (such as gloss, relief wrinkles, etc.) are best ironed at very low temperatures. If the textile consists of several different types of fibers, always select the lowest temperature, i.e. the temperature recommended for the most delicate fiber in the composition (for example, if the composition consists of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you should iron at the temperature indicated for polyester).

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Set the Iron in an upright position.
• Connect the Iron to an electrical wall socket.
• Set the Temperature Control Dial (figure 4) to the correct ironing temperature as indicated on the label or the temperature settings table.

(figure 4)

Non-Stick FINISH

(Models 5803, 5813, 5804, 5805, 5806, 5807 & 5812 Only)

• The non-stick coating prevents fabrics and starch residue from sticking to the Soleplate.
• Avoid all contact of the Soleplate with metal objects.

Note: Scratches in the non-stick Soleplate do not affect the performance of the Iron.

CERAMIC NON-STICK FINISH

(Models 5854, 5855, 5856 & 5857 Only)

• Ceramic coating soleplate produces negative ions that result in a better ironing experience, more uniform and shiny results..
• Avoid all contact of the Soleplate with metal objects.

Note: Scratches in the ceramic non-stick Soleplate do not affect the performance of the Iron.

ANTI-CALC

The anti-calc feature helps prevent the build up of mineral deposits in your iron. This prolongs its life and improves the iron's performance.

TIMED AUTO SHUT-OFF

(Models 5807 & 5857 Only)

When the iron is plugged in and turned on, the power indicator will light steadily, indicating there is power to the iron. Once the selected temperature is reached, the light will go off and you can begin to Iron.

A 45-minute timer will start once the unit has been plugged in. After 45 minutes, the iron will beep 6 times indicating it will automatically shut-off.

To reset the iron:

Unplug the iron and then put it back into the wall outlet. This will restart the timer for the auto shut-off feature.

WARNING: The timed auto shut-off is a safety feature, not a recommended means for turning your iron off. See the "Storing the Iron" section for information on turning off your iron and storing it safely between uses.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

- Before cleaning the iron, always make sure that it is disconnected from the electrical wall socket and is completely cool.

SOLEPLATE

• Residue on the Soleplate can be wiped off with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and vinegar.
• Do not use scouring pads, abrasives or chemical cleaning solvents as they may damage the finish.

HOUSING

- The housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and then wiped dry.

Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. If for any reason your Steam Iron should require repairs, do not try to fix it yourself. Send it to an Oster® Authorized Service Center.

STORING THE IRON

• Your Oster® Steam Iron includes a Safe Storage Indicator which changes from red to black when the iron is ready for safe storage.
• Turn off the iron and disconnect the plug from the electrical wall socket.
• Set the Iron in an upright position and let it cool down completely.
