HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE
1. Remove the ironing station from its packing and make sure all packing has
been removed (including the protective bags). Put the station on a flat and
solid surface.
2. It is recommended to put the iron on the iron pad, (supplied) as the pad will
withstand the temperature of the iron
3. Insert the two-piece wand (11) into the flange on top of the boiler, tighten with
the side screw and attach the spring on the iron hose to the coil end of the
wand.
4. Unscrew the safety cap (1). Fill the boiler with a maximum of 8.45 cups
(2 litres) of water for the i400. Use the funnel supplied, making sure you do
not overfill the tank (you can also use the water stick to determine the water
level in the steam tank).
04
5. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet; switch on the boiler (4) and steam
button (3). When the two button lights come on, the iron and boiler are
working.
6. Turn the iron plate’s temperature regulating knob (6) to the position
“cotton°°°” (indicated on the iron knob).
7. Wait for the boiler button’s red light (4) to turn off (it takes about 10 minutes). NOTE: While ironing, the boiler button’s red light normally turns on and
off, indicating the heating element is activated or not.
8. NOTE: When you call for steam for the first time (after having turned the
boiler on) you might notice a fast decrease in pressure. This is normal for the
first time.
9. The steam station is ready for use.
10. Push the steam button (7) on the iron for steam.
11. This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5). During
operation, if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water
to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.
• Press the steam iron button (7) to ensure there is no more steam in
the boiler.
• Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with
warm water.
• Replace the cap and tighten then press the thermostat reset button (8),
wait for it to build up pressure again.
12. It is possible to adjust the steam quantity with the steam regulation knob (9).
IMPORTANT
When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill cap one-turn on
the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will eliminate the vacuum that
may cause damage to the pressure gauge.
The boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup
removed from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period
between cleanings depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness
of the water used. If the unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we
recommend a cleaning every two weeks to a month.
TO CLEAN THE BOILER UNIT
1. Unplug the unit from the wall.
2. Add a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water and pour inside the
boiler tank to capacity. Let the vinegar solution sit overnight.
05
3. Pick up the boiler unit and pour approximately half of the solution out of the
boiler tank. Vigorously shake/swirl the remaining solution around the tank to
loosen and pick up any softened sediment that may have accumulated inside.
Pour the remaining solution out of the tank. You may see bits of sediment and
mineral come out at this point.
4. Rinse the tank with clean water until there is no smell of vinegar or any sediment bits coming from inside the tank. NOTE: Sediment/mineral pieces can
be blown into the solenoid valve or the steam nozzle during operation so it is
important that they are not left in the tank after cleaning.
5. The unit is now ready for use.
WATER INSTRUCTIONS
Use tap water or 50/50 tap/distilled water in the appliance. Do not use perfume
or products containing alcohol in the appliance.
