Important Safeguards - Tristar ST-8908 Mode D'emploi

1. Depress the Pro Steam Generator on/off switch to the OFF position; keep the Iron
on/off switch in the ON position.
2. Use the Steam Trigger until no more steam or air is expelled in order to release the
steam pressure from within the generator station. This may take a few minutes.
FAILURE TO COMPLETELY DO THIS IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A HAZARD TO
THE USER.
3. Depress the Iron on/off switch to the OFF position, disconnect the power supply, and
SLOWLY unscrew the Pressure Cap, NOTE THAT THERE MAY STILL BE SOME
PRESSURE WITHIN, SO STEAM WILL STILL ESCAPE UPWARDS. THE CAP
GETS HOT IN USE, SO HANDLE WITH CARE; YOU MAY WISH TO USE HAND
MITTS.
4. After a few moments, add the fresh water.
5. Close the Pressure Cap, taking care it is tight.
6. Switch on the Pro Steam Generator by pressing both the Iron on/off and the Pro
Steam Generator on/off switches; the Iron on/off light will be illuminated, the
Pressure Ready Light will start un-lit and will only be illuminated once pressure is
reached. Note that it will cycle on and off in use, this is quite normal
Your Pro Steam Generator iron may take up to 7 minutes to reach operating temperature and
boiler pressure. You cannot effectively use the unit during this time. The Pressure Ready Light
coming on indicates the end of the warm-up period, you can then start to use the Iron**
FINISHING STEAM IRONING WITH STEAM STILL AVAILABLE
If you have finished ironing and steam is still available, there will still be water in the boiler.
USING YOUR NEW PRO STEAM GENERATOR IN DRY MODE
(i.e. no steam)
Switch ON the iron by pressing just the iron on/off switch; the individual tell-tale light will be
illuminated – do not activate the Pro Steam Generator on/off switch.
Set the temperature dial in line with the label of the garment, using the desired heat setting
between 'MIN' and . Since no water has been added, and the boiler on/off switch has
not been activated, no steam is created.
Your Pro Steam Generator iron will not become effective until the light on the iron goes out
indicating that the temperature as determined by the temperature dial setting has been
reached.
The steam trigger will be ineffective in this mode.

Help! I THINK MY PRO STEAM GENERATOR HAS GONE WRONG
If you think your Pro Steam Generator has gone wrong, look here for some hints and tips. If
your query is still not answered, please call us or e-mail.
Water comes out of the soleplate The Pro Steam Generator develops a massive amount of
steam, which is expelled through the soleplate holes. If the soleplate is not hot enough, the
cool temperature of the soleplate will condense that steam, giving the impression of leaking
water. Increase the iron temperature by turning the temperature dial clock-wise; this will solve
your problem. We do not recommend using the Steam system until at least the
setting.
No steam comes out Check you have water in the boiler. Check the power/steam cord has not
become kinked. Check the pressure cap is tight. Are you in a hard water area and have you
used distilled water (otherwise the internal components may have become blocked with
limescale).
I can't get 0.7-litre of water in / Water is leaking The boiler has a capacity of 0.7-litre. If it is not
wholly emptied in use or manual pouring, you will not be able to get 0.7-litre of water in. It can
be difficult to pour out the last few millilitres of water....have patience! Equally, it can be difficult
to completely fill the boiler. Always use the funnel. Sometimes a meniscus forms in the filler
neck. If the boiler has not been wholly emptied AND you fill it with 0.7-litre of water, this
'excess' will escape and you will think you have a leak! If in doubt, manually empty (invert base
and pour out) or fill with, say, 0.5-litre.
I can't get the pressure cap off Make sure that you have wholly de-pressurised the boiler, see
the section REFILLING WITH WATER IN USE. Repeat steps 1-3, making sure that you leave
the Steam Trigger on for a few minutes to ensure all steam and/or air has been released.
