USING THE FOOT PEDAL

The Foot Pedal is used to control the raising and lowering of the ironing roller, as well as its speed. There are 3 positions:

A, B and C.

Position A is the Starting Position. The roller remains in the raised position. The Foot Pedal is not in use.

Position B is the Press Position. The roller is lowered and ready for pressing when you apply light pressure to the Foot Pedal.

Positions C is the Working Position. The roller is lowered and rotating. In Position C, the Rotary Steam Iron has an electronic speed control. The more you step on the foot pedal, the faster the roller will rotate.

Note: The SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron is fi tted with an energy-saving circuit. If the foot pedal is not operated for up to 8 minutes, the heater and steam generator are automatically switched off. When the foot pedal is pressed again, the heating shoe, and if appropriate, the steam generator, are switched on again. The most recently set ironing setting has been reached only when no LEDs are fl ashing. Ironing can then be continued.

Functions

MANUAL RELEASE LEVER

Your Rotary Steam Iron is equipped with a manual lever. Use it only when needed and according to the instructions. The manual lever has two functions:

Manual Release

Manual release lever is used in the event of an unexpected interruption of the ironing roller, for example, if there is a power failure. The manual release prevents any damage to your garment and the ironing cover due to heat.

To operate, push the release lever manually back to the red strip located on the top of the unit which is approximately 100° from the original position of the lever (see picture).

This will raise the iron roller from the heating shoe and enable user to remove the garment safely.

The manual release lever cannot reset until the power is on and the ironing roller has reached the press position. To do this, pull the manual lever completely forward to the original position.

8

Manual Release for Service Case

When needed, it is possible to raise the iron roller to a service position.

You can raise the iron roller to this position only when the power is turned Off. The roller must be in non-ironing position (roller up).

To operate, push the release lever manually back to the red strip located on the side of the unit which is approximately 180° from the original position of the lever (see picture).

The ironing roller is raised to the service position - two inches over the heating shoe. To return the roller back, pull the manual release lever completely forward to the original position.

!

Note: Never switch ON the Rotary Steam Iron when

the ironing roller is raised to the service position.

About the telescopic mechanism of the lever:

The release lever has a telescopic feature to simplify the use of the lever. If you have difficulty in pushing the lever in folded position, then pull to unfold the telescopic arm. This will reduce the force necessary for moving the lever in both directions.

Return the telescopic lever back to the folded position after usage.

Steam generation

PREPARING FOR STEAM GENERATION

In this chapter, we will cover information on suitable water for steam generation, how to use the water tank, lime descaling cartridge and lime descaling granulate.

The SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron can be operated without water, but for a crease-free result, the steam should be switched on. The steam is applied from below and ensures complete steam penetration of the items being ironed.

WATER WHICH MAY BE USED

1.Tap Water

The Rotary Steam Iron can be operated using normal tap water regardless of its hardness. However, tap water should be used only in conjunction with the lime descaling granulate supplied.

2.Distilled Water

Distilled water is available at most grocery stores. It can be used without the descaling granulate.

WATER WHICH MAY NOT BE USED

1.Water with Additives

On no account must starch, fabric conditioner, perfume or fi nishers be added. For this reason, water from condenser tumble driers may not be used, as this may also contain additives such as fabric conditioners. No liability is accepted for damage to your rotary steam iron or your laundry caused by this.

2.Water from Domestic Water Softening Systems

Domestic water softening systems remove lime from the water but add other substances to the system, depending on the descaling system. This water is therefore not suitable for the Rotary Steam Iron.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

The Remaining Water LED illuminates blue if there is no water, or if there is only 10% water in the water tank. The water tank must now be fi lled before any further steam ironing is done.

Switch off the power and unplug the machine.

1.Pull upward on the cap of the fi ller opening. The lime descaling cartridge is in the fi ller opening.

2.Remove the lime decaling cartridge. You may need to loosen the cartridge by a sideways movement (wiggle it). Then, turn the cartridge clockwise while pulling it upwards

Steam generation

3.Slowly fi ll with water up to the bottom of the fi ller opening (see illustration). Do not fi ll with hot water. For the water level indicator to function properly, after the Remaining Water LED indicator has illuminated, top up with at least 10 ounces (0.3 liters).

3

Total tank capacity is 2.74 pints (1.3 liters) with a descaling cartridge.

The total tank capacity is 2.95 pints (1.4 liters) without a descaling cartridge.

4.Replace the lime descaling cartridge and press the cap onto the fi ller opening.

4

Note: The fi ller opening must always be kept closed to prevent the water supply from becoming contaminated.There is a delay in the steam development after an empty water tank has been fi lled or if a new descaling granulate cartridge has been inserted.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DESCALING GRANULATE

The descaling granulate in the lime descaling cartridge must always remain slightly damp. Where there are long intervals between ironing (with the water tank empty) the decaling granulate must be moistened with water or kept apart from the Rotary Steam Iron in a sealed plastic bag.

The water tank must be emptied during very long intervals between ironing.

New, full descaling cartridges are available by visiting the SINGER website at: www.singerco.com.

CHECKING DESCALING CARTRIDGE PLACEMENT FOR INITIAL MACHINE USE

The SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron is supplied with a lime descaling cartridge inserted in the water tank. The cartridge is placed below the cap of the fi ller.

1.Switch off the power and unplug the Rotary Steam Iron before removing/replacing the cartridge. Remove the cap by pulling it upwards and make sure that the descaling cartridge is pushed down fully. Press the cap onto the fi ller opening.

2.There is one spare cartridge supplied in a plastic bag with your Rotary Steam Iron. You should keep the spare cartridge in the plastic bag until necessary to replace it in the Rotary Steam Iron, to prevent the granulate in the descaling cartridge from drying out.

If the Descaling Granulate Used display LED is triggered approximately one minute after inserting a lime descaling cartridge, proceed as follows:

Switch off the power and unplug.

Open the cap and push the lime descaling cartridge down fully into position. Replace the cap.

Plug in the Rotary Steam Iron again and switch on the power.

How to use

HOW TO USE

This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to iron various types of garments and home décor items with your SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Before ironing with your Rotary Steam Iron, check the care labels of your items for any specifi c care instructions.

Place the item in position so that any zippers, buttons, hooks, etc, face upward towards the roller.

It is possible to iron without steam, with demand steam or with continuous steam.

For some materials such wool sweaters or fabrics with pile (such as velvet or corduroy), the use of the iron roller for press-

1

ing or ironing is not recommended. Instead, the garment should be drawn over the steam slot in Continuous Steam mode.

The large ironing area also enables bed linens and table cloths to be ironed without difficulty. The large collecting table holds the garments fl at after ironing.

After ironing, lay the garments together and allow them to cool.

IRONING SMALL FLAT ITEMS

1.To iron smaller, fl at items such as tea towels, napkins, placemats, etc, place the item on the support plate and slide it between the heating shoe and iron roller so that it is caught by the roller when the foot pedal is pressed.

2.Allow the item to run through.

3.The ironed item is automatically folded on the collecting table.

How to use

IRONING LARGE FLAT ITEMS

To iron larger, fl at items such as tablecloths, the center section of the fabric is pressed fi rst, then the sides of the tablecloth are pressed.

1.Place the tablecloth centered over the heating shoe with the ends of the tablecloth falling off each end of the heating shoe. Press the center section of the tablecloth.

2.With the roller in the raised position, gently pull the fabric back towards you over the heating shoe.

3.Softly fold the tablecloth in half and place the tablecloth so that the ironed part hangs over at one end of the heating shoe. This will prevent pressing a crease into the center of the tablecloth.

4.Placing your index fi nger between the two layers of fabric will act as a guide and allow you greater control as the tablecloth to feeds through, helping to eliminate the any unwanted creases. If necessary, turn over the table cloth and iron it on the other side.

3

IRONING BED LINENS

Bed linens, such as duvet covers, can be ironed either from the left or right side. In either case, button it up or zip it fi rst, making sure that the buttons or zipper face upward toward the ironing roller.

Because a duvet cover consists of two layers of fabric, it should not be folded for ironing. A cover must be ironed section by section. Where there is heavy creasing, it should be ironed from both sides.

Duvet covers are basically ironed in the lengthwise direction starting from the buttonhole/zipper side.

Begin at one end of the cover and iron the necessary sections. Each time, pull the duvet cover forward, out over the heating shoe and position it again.

3.The padding cover has a smooth and rough side. Only one short side of the cover is trimmed. Place the trimmed short side on the jute cover with the rough side upwards. Press the foot pedal and wind the padding cover onto the ironing roller.

4.When winding on the padding cover, make sure that the cover is aligned at the left and right with the ironing roller. To do this, spread the padding cover smoothly to the right and left by gently brushing with your hands as the pad is rolling on, causing it to slightly expand outward. After winding on the padding cover, allow the ironing roller to rotate for approximately ten turns.
