Kambrook Recommends Safety First
IMPORTANT: Please retain your instruction book for future use.
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention placed on the following important operating instructions.
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
SpeedSteam Iron
•Carefully read all instructions before operating the Kambrook SpeedSteam Iron for the first time and save for future reference.
•To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the iron, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
•Do not use the iron for anything other than its intended use.
•Always turn the Variable Temperature Control to minimum, then switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the appliance when not in use.
•Allow the iron to cool completely before storing in an upright position on its heel.
•Do not touch hot surfaces. High temperatures are generated during use, which could cause burns. Always use the handle and warn others (especially children) of the possible dangers of burns from steam, hot water or hot soleplate, especially when ironing vertically.
•Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug and actual appliance for any damage. If damage is found in any way, or the iron has been dropped, immediately cease
use of the appliance and return the entire appliance to your nearest authorised Kambrook Service Centre for examination, replacement or repair.
•Store the unit out of reach of children.
•Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
•The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface
•When placing the iron on its heel, ensure that the surface on which the heel is placed is stable.
•The iron is not to be used if it has been dropped, if there are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking.
•Do not allow the iron to lay flat on the soleplate when stored as water may seep through the steam holes, if the tank is not empty.
4
KI400_KI460KM IB v1.indd 4 | 23/12/09 10:43 AM |
•Always test the iron on a small, discreet part of the fabric to be ironed to ensure the temperature is not set too high.
•Always store the iron in the upright position on its heel. Do not leave the iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
•Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms.
•Do not store the iron with water in the water tank. Always empty the tank after use. Ensure the iron is cool before storing or wrapping the cord around the storage heel facility.
•Always switch off at the power outlet, then unplug the appliance from the outlet:
-Before filling with water or emptying it.
-Before leaving it unattended.
-Before cleaning and maintenance, unless otherwise specified in this booklet.
-Immediately after use.

Operating Instructions
Before First Use
Remove any promotional material or packaging from the iron.
Remove any sticker or protective cover from the soleplate. When operating the iron for the first time, iron on an old piece of fabric to ensure that the soleplate and water tank are completely clean.
When the iron is used for the first time, some vapour may emit. After a short while however, this will cease. The vapour is due to the initial heating of the materials used in the iron. It is safe and will not harm the performance of the iron.
Table A
NOTE: As an important part of our quality control process, your iron has been individually tested. As a result, you may notice a small amount of condensation or water droplets on the inside of the water
tank. There is no need for concern.
Setting the Temperature
Before commencing ironing, first sort the items to be ironed according to the International Textile Care Labelling Code or by the type of fabric.
Iron fabrics that require the lowest temperatures first. Work through to the fabrics requiring higher temperatures. Both the Temperature Control and most items of laundry have markings corresponding with this code (see Table A).

Operating Instructions
continued
Stand the iron on its heel and turn the Temperature Control to MIN.
Plug the power cord into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch on.
Select the temperature setting required by rotating the Temperature Control dial so that the desired setting is aligned with the Temperature Indicator.
The Heating Indicator light will illuminate while the iron heats to the selected temperature.
Once the light has switched off, the iron has reached the set temperature and is ready for use. The light will cycle on and off during use as the iron maintains the temperature selected on the Temperature Control.
Caution: The iron incorporates a thermal safety fuse to protect the iron from overheating. However the iron should not be left unattended while it is connected to the power outlet. Special care should always be taken when there are children in the home/ vicinity of the iron.
Steam Ironing
When filling the iron with water, ensure that the iron is unplugged. Set the Steam Control to the MIN position and holding the iron at an angle use the water cup supplied to fill the water tank. Never exceed the maximum water level as indicated (MAX) on the side of the water tank.
8
Tap water can be used in your Kambrook SpeedSteam Iron unless it is particularly hard, in which case it is recommended that distilled or demineralised water be used.
To Operate the
Steam Control
As per the indications on the Temperature Control and in Table A (see section ‘Setting the Temperature’) steam ironing is only possible at higher ironing temperatures, indicated with Cotton/ Linen on the Temperature Control.
Plug the power into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch the power on.
Set the Temperature Control to the required position within the steam range and wait until the Heating Indicator Light has gone out.
Set the Steam Control (on top of the handle) to the required setting.
Your Kambrook iron is now ready for use.
Important: If the iron is set to a low temperature on the Temperature Control (i.e. synthetic
or silk) and also on any of the steam control settings, there may
be leakage from the soleplate. This is due to the iron temperature not being high enough to vaporise the water and create steam.
Therefore, ensure that the steam control is always set to correspond with the setting on the temperature control
as seen in Table A (see section ‘Setting the Temperature’).
KI400_KI460KM IB v1.indd 8 | 23/12/09 10:43 AM |
How To Use Shot Of Steam
The shot of steam provides an extra burst of steam which is ideal for the removal of stubborn creases and wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.
Turn the Temperature Control to the hottest setting and wait until the heating indicator light goes out. Ensure the Steam Control corresponds to the setting on the Temperature Control.
Lift the iron slightly above the surface of the fabric, press the Shot of Steam button down firmly and release it during ironing. An intense burst of steam penetrates deep into the fabric.
NOTE: For optimal steam quality, wait an interval of at least 4 seconds between presses of the Shot of Steam button.
Vertical Steam Shot
The Vertical Steam Shot allows you to use the iron for vertical applications. This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging garments, curtains, wall hangings etc.
Hold the iron vertically, in front, a slight distance from the item to be steamed and press the Shot of Steam button.
Caution: Never use the vertical steam shot while clothes are on the body or direct the steam towards people.
Dry Ironing
Turn the steam selector to the MIN position.
This shuts off the steam flow should there be any water in the tank.
Select the required setting on the Temperature Control for the fabric being ironed.
Once the temperature has been reached, the Heat Indicator Light will turn off and the iron is ready for use.
Using the Fine Mist Spray
The Fine Mist Spray can be used to dampen difficult fabrics, dry areas, woollen items and accidental creases. Firmly press the spray button (located on the handle of the iron) to produce a fine spray of water ahead of the iron.
The spray can also be used with delicate fabrics (synthetic) which are ironed at low temperatures and therefore cannot be steam ironed.
NOTE: If the spray function is operated during dry ironing, ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank. If dry ironing for more than 20
minutes, the water tank should be emptied to prevent over heating any water present.

This is the reason the Fine Mist Spray should be used when ironing delicate fabrics at low temperatures.
The steam valve will open once the soleplate has reached the temperature required to create steam.
After Each Use
Set the steam selector to the MIN position and turn the Temperature Control to MIN.
Switch the power off at the power outlet and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
Open the Water Tank Inlet and (over a sink or bucket) invert the iron to empty the remaining water from the tank.
Stand the iron in an upright position and allow to cool.

•Switch the iron off at the power outlet and remove the plug.
•Hold the iron horizontally over the sink.
•Press and hold the SELF CLEAN button.
•Water will drip through the holes in the soleplate. Move iron until all
water has dripped out of the water tank.
NOTE: Once you have used the
Repeat the Self Clean process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities.
Caution: Only push and hold the self clean button when you want to activate the self cleaning function. Do not push and hold whilst ironing.
Boiling water and steam will drip from the holes in the soleplate during the cleaning process. Due caution and attention should be exercised.
Cleaning the Soleplate and Exterior
Ensure that the iron is disconnected from the power outlet.
To remove residue which may have built up from certain fabric finishes, clean the soleplate with a rough cloth that has been soaked in a vinegar and water solution. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
To clean the steam holes, simply use a damp cloth to wipe away build up of lint or starch from inside the steam holes.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp clean cloth and polish with a
dry cloth.
NOTE: Never use abrasives or scouring pads to clean the soleplate. Avoid hard contact with metal objects. Do not scratch or damage the surface of the soleplate.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface of the iron. Never immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.
