General instructions
•
When using the Steam Station iron for the first time, a small amount of smoke and noise
may be emitted as the plastic expands. This is normal and will stop after a short while. We
recommend that you iron an old cloth as a test before ironing your clothes for the first time.
•
When using the iron, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around it.
Recommendations on using your iron for the first time
1.
Some parts of the iron have been lightly greased at the factory; therefore, the iron may
emit a small amount of smoke when plugged in to power supply for the first time. This
will stop after a short while.
2.
Before using the iron for the first time, remove the plastic cover from the soleplate (if
fitted) and clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
3.
Make sure that the surface of the soleplate is ultra-smooth. Do not pass it over metal
objects (e.g. the metal parts of an ironing board, buttons, zips, etc.)
Instructions for use
Setting the temperature
•
Refer to the ironing instructions provided on the care label of the garment to be ironed.
•
If the garment does not have a care label or instructions, but you know its fabric type,
check the table below.
•
Textiles with a special finish (lustring, pleats, contrasts, etc.), can be ironed at a low
temperature.
•
If a fabric comprises more than one type of fibre, always use a suitable temperature for
all the fibres. For example, if an item is composed of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, you
should always use the suitable temperature for polyester and should not use the steam
function.
•
Start by sorting the items to be ironed according to the most suitable ironing temperature,
i.e. wool with wool, and cotton with cotton, etc. Since the iron heats up faster than it
cools down, start by ironing the items that require the coolest temperature setting, such
as those made from synthetic fibres. Then move on to the garments for the next heat
setting, and so on.
