Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook  
SteamStation Pro Steam System  
Carefully read all instructions before operating  
the steam station for the first time and save for  
future reference.  
Do not store the steam station with water in  
the water tank.Always empty the tank after  
use. Ensure the iron is cool before storing.  
Remove and safely discard any packaging  
material and promotional labels before using  
the steam station for the first time.  
Do not touch hot surfaces.This steam station  
allows the user to steam iron with a large flow  
of steam. 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.  
To eliminate a choking hazard for young  
children, remove and safely discard the  
protective cover fitted to the power plug of  
this steam station.  
Do not place the steam station or iron near the  
edge of a bench or table during operation.  
Ensure that the surface is level, clean and free  
of water and other substances.  
Store the steam station out of reach  
of children.  
The steam station must be used and rested  
on a stable surface.  
Always ensure the steam station and iron is  
properly assembled before use. Follow the  
instructions provided in this book.  
When placing the iron on its heel, ensure  
that the surface on which the heel is  
placed is stable.  
Do not operate the steam station on a sink  
drain board.  
The steam station is not to be used if the iron  
and steam station has been dropped, if there  
are visible signs of damage or if it is leaking  
Do not use outdoors or in bathrooms.  
Do not leave the steam station unattended  
when in use.  
Do not use if there is visible leaking from the  
cable and steam pipe. In case of leaking,  
it must be replaced by a special cord or  
assembly available from the manufacture  
or its service agent.  
Always turn the variable temperature control  
to minimum, switch off at the power outlet, and  
then unplug the steam station when not in use.  
Allow the steam iron and iron rest to cool  
completely before storing the steam iron  
and steam station.  
Always test the iron on a small discreet part of  
the fabric to be iron to ensure the temperature  
is not set too high.

The iron incorporates a thermal safety fuse to  
protect the iron from over heating. However  
the iron and steam station 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 steam station.  
If the steam iron is set to a low temperature on  
the temperature control (i.e. synthetic or silk)  
there may be leakage from the soleplate.This  
is due to the steam station temperature not  
being high enough to vaporize 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’)  
Do not touch the iron rest when in use  
and just after use. Ensure the iron rest is  
cool before attempting to touch or  
prior to storing the steam station.

commercial sole plate cleaner  
found at most supermarkets to  
remove residue.  
Do not set anything on top of  
your steam station.  
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.  
It is not recommended to leave  
your steam station resting on  
your ironing board when not in  
use as the ironing board can  
be knocked causing the steam  
station to fall and be damaged.
