HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE

1. Remove the ironing station from its packing and make sure all packing has been removed (including the protective bags). Put the station on a flat and solid surface.
2. It is recommended to put the iron on the iron pad, (supplied) as the pad will withstand the temperature of the iron
3. Insert the two-piece wand (2) into the flange on top of the boiler, tighten with the side screw and attach the spring on the iron hose to the coil end of the wand.
4. Unscrew the safety cap (1). Fill the boiler with a maximum of 4.65 cups (1.1 litres) of water for the 3000IS. Use the funnel supplied, making sure you do not overfill the tank (you can also use the water stick to determine the water level in the steam tank).
5. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet; switch on the boiler (4) and steam button (3). When the two button lights come on, the iron and boiler are working.
6. Turn the iron plate’s temperature regulating knob (6) to the position
7. “cotton°°°” (indicated on the iron knob).
8. Wait for the boiler button’s red light (4) to turn off (it takes about 10 minutes). NOTE: While ironing, the boiler button’s red light normally turns on and off, indicating the heating element is activated or not.
9. NOTE: When you call for steam for the first time (after having turned the boiler on) you might notice a fast decrease in pressure. This is normal for the first time.
10. The steam station is ready for use.
11. Push the steam button (7) on the iron for steam.
12. This steam product is equipped with a low water warning light (5). During operation, if the light comes on, it indicates that the unit requires more water to operate. If this occurs, please follow these steps.
13. Press the steam iron button (7) to ensure there is no more steam in the boiler.
14. Slowly open the pressure cap (1) and refill to the required level with warm water.
15. Replace the cap, tighten and press the thermostat reset button (8), wait for it to build up pressure again.

IMPORTANT

When you are finished using the boiler for the day, unscrew the fill cap one- turn on the unit to release the steam/air from the tank. This will eliminate the vacuum that may cause damage to the pressure gauge.
The boiler must be cleaned periodically and any sediment/mineral buildup removed from inside the unit; otherwise, it may become clogged. The period between clean-ings depends on the frequency of use and the quality/hardness of the water used. If the unit is in daily use with regular municipal tap water, we recommend a cleaning every two weeks to a month.

TO CLEAN THE BOILER UNIT

1. Unplug the unit from the wall.
2. Add a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 5 parts water and pour inside the boiler tank to capacity. Let the vinegar solution sit overnight.
3. Pick up the boiler unit and pour approximately half of the solution out of the boiler tank. Vigorously shake/swirl the remaining solution around the tank to loosen and pick up any softened sediment that may have accumulated inside. Pour the remaining solution out of the tank. You may see bits of sediment and mineral come out at this point.
4. Rinse the tank with clean water until there is no smell of vinegar or any sedi-ment bits coming from inside the tank. NOTE: Sediment/mineral pieces can be blown into the solenoid valve or the steam nozzle during operation so it is important that they are not left in the tank after cleaning.
5. The unit is now ready for use.

Use tap water or 50/50 tap/distilled water in the appliance. Do not use perfume or products containing alcohol in the appliance.

FAQs

When should you use Reliable 3000IS steam when ironing?

If you want to get rid of wrinkles in fabrics, especially delicate fabrics that can’t be ironed like silk, woollens, and items with pleating, a steamer can take the place of an iron. But steaming produces a smooth, unpolished finish; ironing produces a crisp, pressed polish.

Can Reliable 3000IS steam irons be used without water?

Yes. Simply unplug your steam iron, allow it to cool, and then empty the water tank to remove the water from the iron. Turn the dial to the dry/steam setting, if your iron has one, or to the “MIN” setting, if it doesn’t have a dry/steam setting.

What is the lifespan of a Reliable 3000IS steam iron?

Most expensive steam irons ought to last 10 to 20 years. However, there’s a good chance that technology will advance significantly over the next 20 years, so you might decide to upgrade before your iron reaches the end of its useful life.

What causes a Reliable 3000IS steam iron to stop working?

When the iron press’s fuse burns or blows, it may occasionally lose power completely. This is why it’s critical to find a quick solution. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL CHECK THE FUSE AND THEN REPLACE IT.

When should you stop Reliable 3000IS steaming?

As you steam, you’ll notice that the milk’s temperature warms up on your palm. When you are unable to hold the jug for three seconds in a row, the temperature is correct. You now have the go-ahead to extinguish the steam wand.

What heat is used for Reliable 3000IS steaming?

The steaming process starts when the water reaches about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest temperature at which food can be cooked is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature at which water boils. To steam food on the stovetop, you only need a pot and a steamer basket, which are both very basic pieces of kitchenware.

What are the disadvantages of Reliable 3000IS steam iron?

Disadvantages: Steam irons need to be refilled more frequently than other steam ironing systems because they don’t produce as much heat as a steam generator or other steaming systems, which means ironing your fabrics may take a while to remove every crease.

How do you maintain a Reliable 3000IS steam iron?

Keep the anti-calc valve clean. To do this, unplug the iron and give it 45 minutes to cool. Maintain a spotless and smooth soleplate. Wipe the soleplate of your Tefal Access Easy with a damp, smooth cloth to keep it running smoothly. Observe the after-use protocol.

How long can you leave water in a Reliable 3000IS steamer?

In other words, do not let water remain in your steam appliance for longer than 30 days. We advise draining the water from your steam appliance every 30 days.

How long does a Reliable 3000IS steam iron take to heat up?

Generally speaking, it takes two minutes for your iron to heat up. You can tell when your iron has reached the right temperature for the fabric type you chose by looking at the “Wait” and “Ready” indicators.

How do you stop a Reliable 3000IS steam iron from rusting?

Filling a steam iron requires using distilled water at all times. Even municipally produced, filter-free water contains minerals that can corrode or clog your iron.
After each use, empty the water reservoir on the iron. Any drips should be cleaned up with a microfiber cloth.

What is an disadvantage of Reliable 3000IS steaming?

The fact that steaming food can take longer to cook than other cooking techniques is a drawback. This is necessary so that the food can be cooked in the steam pot’s water, which must first come to a boil. The ability to create moisture retention is yet another benefit.

At what temperature do you get Reliable 3000IS steam?

The highest temperature at which water can exist at atmospheric pressure is 212°F (100°C), which is reached when water is heated at this pressure. Instead of raising the temperature, more heat turns the water into steam.

What is the maximum pressure of Reliable 3000IS steam?

In current practice, steam pressures and temperatures have reached 97–164 bar and 480–565°C or 593°C, respectively. As pressure rises, the rate at which efficiency grows at a higher pressure decreases.

What is the main function of Reliable 3000IS steam?

The ability of steam to transfer heat, sterilize or disinfect objects, and maintain constant temperatures makes it useful across a variety of industries.

What is the main part of Reliable 3000IS steam?

Steam turbines are mounted on a casing and have a rotor with rotating blades attached. The casing, which consists of rows of moving blades piercing between rows of fixed blades, is used to house the rotor.
