PREPARING FOR STEAM GENERATION
In this chapter, we will cover information on suitable water for steam generation, how to use the water tank, lime descaling
cartridge and lime descaling granulate.
The SINGER® Rotary Steam Iron can be operated without water, but for a crease-free result, the steam should be switched on.
The steam is applied from below and ensures complete steam penetration of the items being ironed.
WATER WHICH MAY NOT BE USED
1. Water with Additives
On no account must starch, fabric conditioner, perfume
or fi nishers be added. For this reason, water from con-
denser tumble driers may not be used, as this may also
contain additives such as fabric conditioners. No liability
is accepted for damage to your rotary steam iron or your
laundry caused by this.
2. Water from Domestic Water Softening Systems
Domestic water softening systems remove lime from the
water but add other substances to the system, depend-
ing on the descaling system. This water is therefore not
suitable for the Rotary Steam Iron.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
The Remaining Water LED illuminates blue if there is no
water, or if there is only 10% water in the water tank. The
water tank must now be fi lled before any further steam
ironing is done.
Switch off the power and unplug the machine.
1. Pull upward on the cap of the fi ller opening. The lime
descaling cartridge is in the fi ller opening.
2. Remove the lime decaling cartridge. You may need to
loosen the cartridge by a sideways movement (wiggle
it). Then, turn the cartridge clockwise while pulling it
upwards
WATER WHICH MAY BE USED
1. Tap Water
The Rotary Steam Iron can be operated using normal tap
water regardless of its hardness. However, tap water
should be used only in conjunction with the lime descal-
ing granulate supplied.
2. Distilled Water
Distilled water is available at most grocery stores. It can
be used without the descaling granulate.
