Operating Instructions
Before First Use
NOTE: As an important part of
our quality control process,
your iron has been individually
tested. As a result, you may
notice a small amount of
condensation or water droplets
on the inside of the water tank.
There is no need for concern.
Remove any promotional material
from the iron.
Remove any sticker or protective
cover from the soleplate.When
operating the iron for the first time, iron
on an old piece of fabric to ensure
that the soleplate and water tank are
completely clean.
When the iron is used for the first time,
some vapour may emit.After a short
while however, this will cease.The
vapour is due to the initial heating of
the materials used in the iron. It is safe
and will not harm the performance of
the iron.

Steam Ironing
IMpORTANT: If the iron is
set to a low temperature
on the Temperature
Control (i.e. synthetic
or silk) and also on any
of the steam control
settings, there may
be leakage from the
soleplate. This is due to
the iron temperature not
being high enough to
vaporise the water and
create steam.
When filling the iron with water, ensure
that the iron is unplugged. Set the
Steam Control to the DRY position and
holding the iron at an angle use the
water cup supplied to fill the water
tank. Never exceed the maximum
water level as indicated (MAX) on the
side of the water tank.
Tap water can be used in your
Kambrook Steamline iron unless it
is particularly hard, in which case
it is recommended that distilled or
demineralised water be used.
Therefore, ensure
that the steam
control is always set
to correspond with
the setting on the
temperature control
as seen in Table A (see
section ‘Setting the
Temperature’).
To Operate the
Steam Control
As per the indications on the
Temperature Control and in
Table A (See section ‘Setting the
Temperature’) steam ironing is
only possible at higher ironing
temperatures, indicated with Cotton/
Linen on the Temperature Control.
Plug the power into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and switch the power on.
Set the Temperature Control to the
required position within the steam
range and wait until the Heating
Indicator Light has gone out.
Set the Steam Control (on top of the
handle) to the required setting.
Your Kambrook iron is now ready for use.

How To use Shot Of Steam
The shot of steam provides an extra
burst of steam which is ideal for the
removal of stubborn creases and
wrinkles during STEAM or DRY ironing.
Turn the Temperature Control to the
hottest setting and wait until the

heating indicator light goes out.Ensure
the Steam Control corresponds to the
setting on the Temperature Control.
Lift the iron slightly above the surface
of the fabric,press the Shot of Steam
button down firmly and release it
during ironing.An intense burst of
steam penetrates deep into the fabric.
Using the Fine Mist Spray
The fine mist spray can be used to
dampen difficult fabrics, dry areas,
woollen items and accidental creases.
Firmly press the spray button (located
on the handle of the iron) to produce
a fine spray of water ahead of
the iron.
The spray can also be used with
delicate fabrics (synthetic) which
are ironed at low temperatures and
therefore cannot be steam ironed.
NOTE: For optimal steam quality,
wait an interval of at least 4
seconds between presses of the
Shot of Steam button.
NOTE: If the spray function is
operated during dry ironing,
ensure that there is sufficient
water in the water tank. If
dry ironing for more than 20
minutes, the water tank should
be emptied to prevent over
heating any water present.
Vertical Steam Shot
The Vertical Steam Shot allows you to
use the iron for vertical applications.
This is especially useful for getting
wrinkles out of hanging garments,
curtains, wall hanging etc.
Hold the iron vertically, in front, a slight
distance from the item to be steamed
and press the Shot of Steam button.
Anti Drip System
The Kambrook Steamline iron is
equipped with an Anti-Drip System.
The iron will automatically close the
steam valve when the soleplate
temperature is too low to produce
steam.When this happens you will
hear a click sound. It is safe and will
not harm the performance of the iron.
CAuTION: Never use
the vertical steam shot
while clothes are on
the body or direct the
steam towards people.
This is the reason the fine mist spray
should be used when ironing delicate
fabrics at low temperatures.
Dry Ironing
Turn the steam selector to the
DRY position.
The steam valve will open once
the soleplate has reached the
temperature required to create steam.
This shuts off the steam flow should
there be any water in the tank.

Care and Cleaning
To ensure your iron maintains optimum
performance it is recommended that
it be cleaned using the Self-Clean
function to remove scale or impurities.
• Set the steam selector to the
DRY position.
• Fill the water tank up to the
maximum level (MAX) with the
water cup supplied.
• Set the Temperature Control to MAX
(Linen) setting.
• Place the iron in the upright position,
insert the plug into the power outlet
and switch the iron on.
• Allow the iron to heat until the
heating indicator light turns off.
Repeat the Self Clean process if the
iron still contains a lot of impurities.
CAuTION: Only push
and hold the self clean
button when you want
to activate the self
cleaning function.
Do not push and hold
whilst ironing.
Boiling water and steam
will drip from the holes
in the soleplate during
the cleaning process.
Due caution and
attention should
be exercised.
• Switch the iron off at the power
outlet and remove the plug.
• Hold the iron horizontally over
the sink.
• Press and hold the SELF
CLEAN button.
Cleaning the Soleplate
and Exterior
Ensure that the iron is disconnected
from the power outlet.
To remove residue which may have
built up from certain fabric finishes,
clean the soleplate with a rough cloth
that has been soaked in a vinegar
and water solution. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
• Water will drip through the holes
in the soleplate. Move iron until
all water has dripped out of the
water tank.
NOTE: Once you have used the
Self-Clean function, it is normal
for some water to remain in the
water tank. This is due to the
Anti-Drip System preventing
the tank from being emptied
completely. This will not affect
the performance of the iron.
To clean the steam holes, simply
use a damp cloth to wipe away build
up of lint or starch from inside the
steam holes.
Wipe the outer housing with a soft,
damp clean cloth and polish with a
dry cloth.

KI730_KI760_KI760P_KI780_IB_FA.indd 12
19/01/10 3:40 PM
NOTE: Never use abrasives or
scouring pads to clean the
soleplate. Avoid hard contact
with metal objects. Do not
scratch or damage the surface
of the soleplate.
Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners as they may damage
the surface of the iron. Never
immerse the iron in water or
any other liquid.
