KAMBROOK SAFETY

Welcome to Kambrook and your new Steamline Iron.At Kambrook we believe that the safe performance of our products 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:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ACTIVATING THE APPLIANCE AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or any other liquid.

Do not use this 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.

Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. 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 the nearest authorised Kambrook service centre for examination, replacement or repair.

Store the unit out of reach of children.

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.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not allow iron to lay flat on the soleplate when stored as water may seep through the steam holes, if the tank is not empty.

Always test the iron on a small, discrete part of the fabric to be ironed to ensure iron is not set too hot.

Always store iron in an upright position on its heel. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.

Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms.

Do not store iron with water in the water tank.Always empty tank after use.

Ensure the iron is cool before storing or

USING YOUR KAMBROOK STEAMLINE IRON

Before first use remove any promotional labels and/or protective cover from the soleplate before using the iron.

When using for the first time use on an old piece of fabric to ensure the soleplate and water tank are completely clean.

When first used some vapour may be emitted, 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.

Setting the Temperature

Before commencing ironing first sort items to be ironed, according to the International Textile Care Labelling Code or by type of fabric. Iron fabrics requiring the coolest temperatures first.Work through to the fabrics requiring the higher temperatures. Both the Temperature Control and most items of laundry have marking corresponding with this code (Table A)

Stand the iron on its heel and turn the Variable Temperature Control to Minimum.

Plug the power cord into a 230/240V power outlet and switch on.

Select the temperature setting required by rotating the temperature control so that the desired setting is aligned with the Heating Indicator Light/Contr

The Heating Indicator light will illuminate showing that the iron is heating.When light goes out, the iron has reached the selected temperature and is ready for use. The light will glow and g

o out as the

thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

Important: Never leave the iron unattended while it is connected to an electrical outlet. Special care should always be taken when there are children in the home.

NOTE: on label means:“This article cannot be ironed” (e.g. chlorofibre, acrylic, elastodiene).

Steam Ironing

When filling the iron with water make sure the iron is disconnected from the electricity supply before filling with water.

Set the Variable Steam/Dry Control to the DRY position (= Closed)

With the iron held on an angle, use the beaker supplied to slowly pour water into the Water Inlet Hole. Do not fill beyond the Max mark on the water tank.

NOTE:Tap water can be used, unless it is particularly hard, in which case the use of distilled or demineralised water is advised

To guarantee the maximum life-time of your steam iron:

Do not use chemically descaled water

The harder the water the more the iron should be self-cleaned (see “Maintaining Your Kambrook Iron” section, page 7)

Your Kambrook Steamline Iron is now ready for steam ironing.

Important: If you attempt to iron with the Variable Steam Control on and with the Variable Temperature Control set to a relatively low ironing temperature [ie. between (synthetic) and (silk)], the water will not be able to vapourise completely.This may result in water leaking from the soleplate.Therefore, ensure that the Variable Steam Control is always set to correspond with the setting on the Variable Temperature Control as shown in Table A on page 5.

How to Use the Shot of Steam

The Shot of Steam provides an extra burst of steam, which is ideal for removal of stubborn creases and wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.

Turn the Variable Temperature Control to the hottest setting (ie. cotton/ linen) and wait until the Heating Indicator Light goes out. Ensure the Variable Steam Control setting corresponds with the setting on the Variable Temperature Control.

Lift the iron slightly above the surface of the fabric, press the Shot of Steam button down firmly and then release it during ironing.An intense “burst” of steam penetrates deep into the fabric. For optimum steam quality, leave an interval of at least four seconds between pressing the Shot of Steam button.

Vertical Steam System

The Vertical Steam System allows you to use the iron for vertical ironing.This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging clothes, curtains, wall hangings etc.

Hold the iron vertically, in front of the item to be steamed and press the Shot of Steam button.

WARNING: NEVER IRON

CLOTHES ON THE BODY!

Dry Ironing

Set the Variable Steam Control to the DRY position (= closed), this shuts off the steam flow, should there be any water in the tank.

Select the setting on the Variable Temperature Control most suitable for the fabric to be ironed.

Once the Heating Indicator Light has gone out, commence ironing.

NOTE: If dry ironing for longer than 20 minutes, the water tank should be emptied to prevent over heating of any water present.

MAINTAINING YOUR KAMBROOK STEAMLINE IRON

After Each Use

Set the Variable Steam Control to DRY

Switch off the power from outlet and then disconnect cord from the power outlet.

Over a sink or bucket turn the iron upside down and shake the iron to empty the water tank and then stand the iron in an upright position to allow to cool.

In order to save space, after the iron has cooled, the power cord may be easily wound around the Large Resting Heel.

Always store the iron (with water emptied from the tank) on its Resting Heel, NOT on the soleplate. Even the smallest amount of moisture will cause corrosion and staining of the soleplate if the iron is stored with the soleplate facing downwards.

Cleaning the Exterior and Soleplate

Switch off the power from outlet and then disconnect cord from the power outlet.

Certain fabric finish residues may build up on the soleplate, these may be removed by cleaning with a cloth soaked in vinegar solution.Then dry with a dry cloth.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR SCOURING PAD TO CLEAN THE SOLEPLATE.

KEEP THE SOLEPLATE SMOOTH; AVOID HARD CONTACT WITH METAL OBJECTS. DO NOT SCRATCH OR DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE SOLEPLA

Wipe down the outer housing with a damp cloth and polish with a dry one.

TE.

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners as they may damage the surface of the iron.

NEVER IMMERSE THE IRON IN WATER OR ANY LIQUIDS.

DO NOT PUT VINEGAR OR OTHER DESCALING AGENTS INTO THE WATER TANK.

To clean steam holes - simply use a damp cloth to wipe away any build up or lint or starch from inside the steam holes.

Self Cleaning

Your iron will give the best ironing results and last longer if you apply the “Self Cleaning” function regularly (once or twice a month) to remove any scale or fluff.

Set the Variable Steam Control to DRY. Fill the Water Tank with water using the beaker provided to make pouring easier.

Place the iron on its heel. Set the Variable Temperature Control to Linen.

Plug the cord into the power outlet and turn the switch on.

Allow the iron to heat up until the Heating Indicator Light goes out.

Switch off the power and remove cord from the power outlet.

Hold the iron horizontally over the sink. Push and hold the Variable Steam Control to the (self cleaning) symbol shown on the control.

Boiling water and steam will now emit from the holes in the soleplate of your iron and wash away the impurities and scale that has built up
