safety
When cleaning, never unscrew the
boiler cap whilst the unit is
pressurised. Steam will shoot out
and burn you. Always switch off,
unplug and leave overnight before
commencing to clean the boiler.
●
Don’t get burnt by the iron’s steam,
hot water, soleplate or iron rest.
●
Keep children away from the steam
station. And make sure they can’t
grab the cords and pull the steam
station down.
●
Trailing cords are a hazard, keep
them out of the way to prevent
accidents.
●
Never iron clothes being worn.
●
Never put the steam station, cord or
plug in liquid – you could get an
electric shock.
●
Always remove the water tank from
the steam station when filling from a
tap.
●
Don’t let the power and steam
supply cords touch hot parts.
●
During ironing pauses and after use
always place the iron flat on the iron
rest of the steam station.
●
Never leave the steam station on
unattended.
●
Never use a damaged steam station.
Get it checked or repaired: see
‘service and customer care’.
●
Do not use the steam station if it has
been dropped, or if there are any
visible signs of danger or it is
leaking.
●
Don’t touch the appliance with wet
or damp hands.
●
Always unplug the steam station
when not in use and allow to cool
before moving or cleaning.
●
It is extremely dangerous to direct
the steam towards people or
animals.
●
Only use water with this appliance.
●
During use, the steam station must
be stable and used in a horizontal
position.
●
Never let the iron touch or rest
against the water tank.
●
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
●
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
●

using your steam station
1 Place the steam station on the
support of the ironing board or any
other stable surface nearby with the
iron sitting on the iron rest. Make sure
the steam station is unplugged and
that the power and steam supply
cords are unrolled and not kinked.
filling with water
Either
1 Lift off the water tank cover and fill
with water. Replace the cover.
Or
2 Remove the tank by lifting off. Lift off
the cover, then fill the tank under the
tap. Re-fit the cover. Replace the
tank into its original position by
gently pushing into place.
●
Filtered water is best as it reduces
limescale, prolonging the life of your
steam station (Kenwood water filters
are widely available). Alternatively
use 50% tap water and 50% distilled
water.
●
Do not add anything else to the
water such as water from clothes
driers, scented water, water from
refrigerators, air conditioners,
batteries, bottled mineral water or
rain water. These contain organic
waste or mineral elements that
become concentrated when heated
and cause spitting, brown staining or
premature wear to the steam station.
●
If you need to refill your steam
station during use, we recommend
the empty water tank is removed for
filling. If filled whilst fitted, always
unplug the steam station first.
choosing the right
temperature
Follow the clothes label advice.
Match the dots on the label to the
dots on the temperature control. If
there’s no label, here’s a guide on
which temperature to choose:
hints
●
Start on clothes needing the lowest
temperature, then work upwards.
(This lowers the risk of burning
something because an iron switched
from ‘hot’ to ‘cool’ takes time to
cool down.)
●
For mixed fibres, eg cotton ●●● and
polyester
●, use the lowest suitable
temperature
●.
●
If in doubt, start with a low
temperature on a part that won’t be
seen (eg a shirt tail).
setting the temperature
Before switching on the steam
station, make sure that the lock for
continuous steam is in the off
position by firmly pressing the lock
on the left hand side of the iron. This
will ensure that the steam button is
released.
1 Plug the steam station into the
power supply.
2 Switch on, the blue light will glow.

3Turn the temperature control to the
temperature you want, the light
under the control will glow. When the
iron reaches the set temperature, the
light will go out. (During ironing, this
light will go on and off as your iron
maintains the right temperature.)
dry ironing
Follow the procedure above for
setting the temperature.
Care should be taken not to press
the steam button.
steam ironing

set to .
It is possible to vary the amount of
steam produced. If the iron is set to
● move the variable steam control to
the left for minimum steam. If
●● is
selected move the variable steam
control to the middle and if
●●● is
selected move the variable control to
the right for maximum steam.
3Wait until the green ready to steam
light glows indicating that the correct
pressure has been reached. This
takes about 3 minutes. Also wait
until the temperature control
indicator light has gone off.
●
During use you may hear a slight
humming coming from the steam
station. This means that the pump is
operating and passing water from
the tank to the boiler where the
steam is generated for ironing. This
will be accompanied by the red low
water indicator light glowing.
4 Before starting to iron or if you have
not used the steam function for a
few minutes or if you have recently
cleaned the steam station, hold the
iron away from your ironing and
press the steam button several
times. This will enable any cold
water condensed in the pipes etc.,
to be removed from the steam
circuit.
5To produce steam whilst ironing
clothes press the steam button. For
continuous steam, press the steam
button and then press the lock for
continuous steam on the right hand
side of the iron. To stop continuous
steam, press the button on the left
hand side.
When using the steam function, the
green ready to steam indicator light
will go off.
●
It is possible to vary the amount of
steam produced. Move the variable
steam control to the right for
maximum steam and to the left for
minimum steam.
6 The red low water indicator light will
glow continuously when the water
tank becomes empty. This will be
accompanied by a continuous
humming noise of the pump. Should
this occur we recommend you
switch off the steam station. Remove
the water tank and refill.
Note: For prolonged use always
ensure there is water in the water
tank.

important
To extend the life of your steam
station and to avoid a build up of
scale, it is essential that you rinse
out the boiler after every 10 refills or
once a month. If you live in a hard
water area increase the frequency of
cleaning. Do not use chemical
descaling agents or vinegar as they
may damage your appliance.
●
Clean the boiler making sure it has
been allowed to cool overnight first.
Turn the steam station upside down
and pull back the flap covering the
boiler cap . Unscrew the boiler
cap using a coin and empty out any
water. Add one cup of tap or filtered
water and shake the appliance then
empty out all the water. Repeat this
operation until the water from the
boiler comes out clear and clean.
When cleaning is finished pour
500ml fresh tap or filtered water into
the boiler and screw the boiler cap
back on again without using
excessive force. Replace the cover.
The unit is now ready to use.
important: Aways add 500ml
water direct to the boiler after
cleaning to prevent damaging the
steam station.
