3 Test the iron on an old cloth to make
sure the soleplate and water tank are
clean. We recommend that you
allow steam to disperse by pressing
the steam button in order to release
any residues that may have built up
during the manufacturing process.
● Repeat step 3 after prolonged
periods of storage.

using your steam station
1 Fit the detachable iron into it’s
socket: Lower the outlet cover, then
with the arrow on the connector
uppermost, push into the socket
until fully home. To remove, squeeze
the ribs on either side of the
connector and pull out
ᕡ. Never
remove the iron by pulling on the
cord.
2 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.
3 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
Either
1 Lift off the water tank cover and fill
with water. Replace the cover.
Or
2 Remove the tank by lifting off. Lift off
the cover, then fill the tank under the
tap. Re-fit the cover. Replace the
tank into its original position by
gently pushing into place.
● 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.
