OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING TO KNOW  YOUR STEAM GENERATOR 
REFILLING THE STEAM 
GENERATOR
PRESSING TIPS (cont.)
Instructions for specific iron 
temperature settings should be 
treated as guidelines only. We 
recommend that you test each type 
of fabric on an inside seam before 
proceeding to iron the garment. The 
steam generator iron can produce 
humid steam at relatively low 
temperature settings where regular 
household irons would release 
water. At the same time, the very dry 
steam produced at the high iron 
temperature setting “•••” can be used 
on some fabrics where normally the 
use of steam is prohibited.
PRESSING DIFFICULT FIBERS 
(i.e. 100% COTTON)
Your Steam Generator Iron features 
a professional type iron with steam 
holes placed in the front of the iron 
soleplate. Correct ironing procedure 
involves steaming the fabric with the 
front end of the iron followed by 
pressing and drying with heat from 
the rear of the iron. For best results, 
garments should be dry after 
pressing to avoid re-wrinkling due to 
lingering dampness. Therefore, we 
recommend that you use the steam 
as required, but not continually.
While your Steam Generator Iron 
offers high quality type professional 
type steam, some fabrics may 
require additional moisture for best 
results. You may want to press 
cotton shirts while still damp or spray 
with water prior to ironing.
WARNING!
Never direct the 
steam from the iron at yourself 
or another person. Special care 
must be taken when the iron is 
used in a vertical position. The 
steam is very hot and can 
cause burns.
1. Press the steam generator On/Off 
button to the “OFF” position. 
2. Release all the remaining steam in 
the steam generator by pressing the 
steam button until no more steam is 
coming out from the iron.
3. Unplug the appliance from the wall 
outlet. Allow it to cool for a minimum 
of 5 minutes.
4. To unscrew the boiler filler cap, push 
down and turn counter clockwise 
slowly. If any steam continues to 
escape, STOP and release the 
steam through the iron as in the 
steps above.
5. Using a measuring cup, fill the water 
tank with 26 US fl. oz. 
6. Replace the boiler filler cap turning 
clockwise until you get friction. DO 
NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR GASKET 
WILL BE FLATTENED.
PRESSING TIPS
Dry Steam vs Humid Steam
In a steam generator iron the steam 
is produced in the generator and not 
in the iron as with regular household 
irons. The temperature of the iron 
determines the type of steam – dry 
or humid. At high temperatures, the 
iron delivers very dry steam. Lower 
temperature settings offer humid 
steam.
For best pressing results, you have 
the flexibility to select the type of 
steam and not only the iron 
temperature. A balance should be 
maintained between the humidity 
(low iron temperature) required to 
loosen fibers and the need for heat 
(higher iron temperatures) to 
flatten/shape and dry the fibers.
