Steam Station 4 BAR Article 320180 / 320181
Before use for the first time
• Use the iron solely for ironing.
• Always turn the temperature-control
dial to ‘min’ before putting the plug in
the wall socket or removing the plug
from the socket.
• Always take care when ironing in the
vicinity of children. Never leave an
iron unattended when it is switched
on, even when the iron is standing on
an ironing board.
• Touching hot metal parts, hot water or
steam can cause burns. Take care
when touching hot parts of the steam
generator and iron.
1 Before using the iron for the first time,
verify that the mains voltage stated on
the base of the steam generator is the
same as your mains voltage.
2 Remove all labels and stickers that may
be attached to the iron.
Some parts of the iron are lightly greased,
and it is possible that the iron will emit a
little smoke when used for the first time.
This smoke will stop after a short period of
time, and is not indicative of a defect.
3 To remove residue from the soleplate,
set the temperature control dial to
‘max’, and iron over a damp cloth.
Filling the water reservoir
• It is recommended that you fill the
water reservoir with a mixture of 50%
tap water and 50% distilled water. This
is particularly desirable in areas with
hard water, since this will prevent the
formation of excessive limescale.
• Make sure the water reservoir is
always filled, even if you do not plan
to use the steam function.
1 Make sure the appliance is not plugged
in.
2 Remove the cap (nr.14) from the top of
the water reservoir.
3 Fill the water reservoir with the
indicated quantity of water (no higher
than the ‘max’ level).
4 Put the cap back on the water reservoir
and close it tightly.
Ironing
• Never iron over zips, rivets in jeans,
etc. These will damage the soleplate.
Iron around any such objects.
• The steam generator’s holder for the
iron will become hot. Do not touch it
whilst you are ironing.
• Check whether ironing-instruction
labels are attached to clothing. Always
observe any such instructions.
• The filling aperture of the water
reservoir must not be opened during
use.
See Figure 1.
