Welcome to Ironing Using Steam Generation
The SteamJet Station Iron is the latest in steam generating technology. The
iron contains no reservoir for water. The water is pumped from a separate
unheated reservoir on demand. The heating plate inside the iron itself is
minimal in size since it only has to heat microbursts of water passing over the
surface. The iron itself stays cool. Only the directed steam burst and the
bottom soleplate, which dose the actual ironing is hot.
You will never run out of water with The SteamJet Station Iron’s large
reservoir tank, because it is refillable WHILE you use the iorn. So you never
have to wait for it to cool to refill it, or worry about spills!
The SteamJet Station Iron is never under great internal pressure due to the
steam generating design. There is no need to worry about special fill
instructions or warnings. Follow the easy to read directions and you will be
ironing with greater safety in minutes!
