Kambrook Recommends Safety First  
IMPORTANT: Please retain your  
instruction book for future use.  
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any  
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently  
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that  
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention  
placed on the following important operating instructions.  
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook  
DuraGlideAnodized Iron  
Carefully read all instructions  
before operating the Kambrook  
DuraGlide™ Anodized Iron for  
the first time and save for future  
reference.  
To protect against electric shock, do  
not immerse the iron, cord or plug in  
water or any other liquid.  
Regularly inspect the supply cord,  
plug and actual appliance for  
any damage. If damage is found  
in any way, or the iron has been  
dropped, immediately cease use  
of the appliance and return the  
entire appliance to your nearest  
authorised Kambrook service centre  
for examination, replacement or  
repair.  
Store the unit out of reach of  
children.  
Do not leave the appliance  
unattended when in use.  
Do not use the iron for anything  
other than its intended use.  
Always turn the Variable  
Temperature Control to minimum,  
then switch off at the power outlet,  
then unplug the appliance when  
not in use.  
Allow the iron to cool completely  
before storing in an upright position  
on its heel.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. High  
temperatures are generated during  
use, which could cause burns.  
Always use the handle and warn  
others (especially children) of the  
possible dangers of burns from  
steam, hot water or hot soleplate,  
especially when ironing vertically.  
The iron must be used and rested on  
a stable surface.  
When placing the iron on its stand,  
ensure that the surface on which  
the stand is placed is stable.  
The iron is not to be used if it has  
been dropped, if there are visible  
signs of damage or if it is leaking.  
Do not allow the iron to lay flat on  
the soleplate when stored as water  
may seep through the steam holes,  
if the tank is not empty.  
4
 
Always test the iron on a small,  
discreet part of the fabric to be  
ironed to ensure the temperature is  
not set too high.  
Always store the iron in the upright  
position on its heel. Do not leave the  
iron unattended while connected  
or on an ironing board.  
Always switch off at the power  
outlet, then unplug the appliance  
from the outlet:  
- Before filling with water or  
emptying it.  
- Before leaving it unattended.  
- Before cleaning and maintenance,  
unless otherwise specified in this  
booklet.  
Do not use outdoors or in  
bathrooms.  
- Immediately after use.  
Do not store the iron with water in  
the water tank. Always empty the  
tank after use. Ensure the iron is cool  
before storing or wrapping the cord  
around the storage heel facility.  
Important Safeguards For All Electrical

Operating Instructions  
Before First Use  
Remove any promotional material or packaging 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.  
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.  
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.  
Setting the Temperature  
Before commencing ironing, first sort the items to be ironed according to the  
International Textile Care Labelling Code or by the type of fabric. Iron fabrics  
that require the lowest temperatures first. Work through to the fabrics requiring  
higher temperatures. Both the Temperature Control and most items of laundry  
have markings corresponding with this code (see Table A).  
Table A  
on label means: “This article cannot be ironed”

Operating Instructions  
continued  
Stand the iron on its heel and turn the  
Temperature Control to MIN.  
Plug the power cord into a 230V or  
240V power outlet and switch on.  
Select the temperature setting  
required by rotating the Temperature  
Control dial so that the desired setting  
is aligned with the Temperature  
Indicator.  
The Heating Indicator light will  
illuminate while the irons heats to the  
selected temperature.  
Once the light has switched off, the  
iron has reached the set temperature  
and is ready for use. The light will cycle  
on and off during use as the iron  
maintains the temperature selected  
on the Temperature Control.  
Steam Ironing  
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 DuraGlide™ Anodized Iron  
unless it is particularly hard, in which  
case it is recommended that distilled  
or demineralised water be used.  
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 cord into a 230V or  
240V power outlet and switch the  
power on.  
CAuTION: The iron  
incorporates a thermal  
safety fuse to protect  
the iron from over-  
heating. However the  
iron should not be left  
unattended while it is  
connected to the power  
outlet. Special care  
should always be taken  
when there are children  
in the home/vicinity of  
the iron.  
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.  
IMpORTANT: Never  
leave the iron  
unattended while it  
is connected to an  
electrical outlet.  
Your Kambrook iron is now ready for  
use.  
8
 
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.  
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’).

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.  
Dry Ironing  
Turn the steam selector to the DRY  
position.  
This shuts off the steam flow should  
there be any water in the tank.  
Select the required setting on the  
temperature dial for the fabric being  
ironed.  
Once the temperature has been  
reached the heat indicator light will  
turn off and the iron is ready for use.  
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.  
NOTE: For optimal steam  
quality, wait an interval of  
at least 4 seconds between  
presses of the Shot of Steam  
button.  
The spray can also be used with  
delicate fabrics (Synthetic) which  
are ironed at low temperatures and  
therefore cannot be steam ironed.  
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.  
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.  
CAuTION: Never use  
the vertical steam shot  
while clothes are on  
the body or direct the  
steam towards people.  
10  
 
Anti Drip System  
The Kambrook DuraGlide™ Anodized  
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.  
This is the reason the fine mist spray  
should be used when ironing delicate  
fabrics at low temperatures.  
The steam valve will open once  
the soleplate has reached the  
temperature required to create  
steam.  
Once the iron has shut itself off, the  
indicator light will blink to indicate  
that the iron has switched off.  
To reactivate the iron, simply move  
the iron. The heating indicator light will  
switch on when the iron has reached  
the temperature selected on the  
temperature dial.  
Safety Auto-Off  
The Safety Auto-Off feature is  
designed to switch the iron off if  
forgotten.  
When the iron is left in the upright  
position it will shut off after  
approximately 8 minutes, followed by  
six beeps.  
CAuTION: Safety Auto-  
off is designed as a  
safety feature only.  
Irons should not be left  
switched on deliberately  
while unattended. If  
safety Auto-Off has  
activated and no further  
ironing is required, we  
recommend that the  
iron is switched off at  
the power outlet and  
unplugged.  
When left in the ironing position it  
will switch off after approximately 30  
seconds, followed by six beeps.  
11  
 
How To use Shot Of Steam  
continued  
After Each Use  
Set the steam selector to the DRY  
position and turn the Temperature  
Control to minimum (MIN).  
Switch the power off at the power  
outlet and disconnect the power  
cord from the power outlet.  
Open the water filling cap and  
(over a sink or bucket) invert the iron  
to empty the remaining water from  
the tank.  
Stand the iron in an upright position  
and allow to cool.  
12  
 
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 MIN  
position.  
Fill the water tank up to the  
maximum level (MAX) with the  
water cup supplied.  
Set the Temperature Control to MAX  
(Linen) setting.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Water will drip through the holes  
in the soleplate. Move iron until all  
water has dripped out of the water  
tank.  
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.  
To clean the steam holes, simply use  
a damp cloth to wipe away any  
build up of lint or starch from inside  
the steam holes.  
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.  
Wipe the outer housing with a soft,  
damp clean cloth and polish with a  
dry cloth.  
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.  
Repeat the Self Clean process if the  
iron still contains a lot of impurities.  
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.
