using your steam station
1 Place the steam station on the
support of the ironing board or any
other stable surface nearby with the
iron sitting on the iron rest. Make sure
the steam station is unplugged and
that the power and steam supply
cords are unrolled and not kinked.
2 Fit the cord cactus into one of the
cord cactus locations. Place the
steam supply cord into one of the
grooves on the other end of the cord
cactus. This will keep the cord in an
upright position.
filling with water
1 Unscrew the boiler cap by turning
anticlockwise.
2 Use the funnel to fill the boiler.
Maximum capacity when empty is
0.9 l. Take care not to overfill if the
steam station contains water.
3 Refit the cap, don't overtighten.
●
Filtered water is best as it reduces
limescale, prolonging the life of your
steam station (Kenwood water filters
are widely available). Alternatively
use 50% tap water and 50% distilled
water.

●
Do not add anything else to the
water such as water from clothes
driers, scented water, water from
refrigerators, air conditioners,
batteries, bottled mineral water or
rain water. These contain organic
waste or mineral elements that
become concentrated when heated
and cause spitting, brown staining or
premature wear to the steam station.
refilling the boiler
The red low water indicator light will
glow when the boiler requires filling.
NEVER UNSCREW THE
BOILER CAP AS LONG AS THE
BOILER IS UNDER PRESSURE.
Carry out the following procedure to
release the pressure:-
1 Press the steam button until the
steam stops coming out - this may
take several minutes, then release
the steam button.
2 Wait until the red low water indicator
light comes on, then press the
steam button again to release any
residual steam.
3 Switch off and unplug the steam
station and wait 5 minutes.
4 VERY SLOWLY unscrew the boiler
cap. If any steam is heard, stop
unscrewing the cap and wait until all
the steam has gone. Once all the
steam has gone continue to slowly
unscrew the cap.
5 Use the funnel provided and slowly
refill the boiler by pouring the water
down the side of the funnel. Take
care not to overfill.
6 Screw the boiler cap back on until it
is completely tight.
7 Plug in the appliance. Wait for the
green ready to steam light to glow,
this indicates that the steam station
is ready for use.
important
Never unscrew the boiler cap whilst
the appliance is connected to the
power supply and whilst there is
pressure inside the boiler.
Never unscrew the boiler cap during
ironing.
