OPERATING INSTRUCTION
-
Filling the tank Before first use, remove all packaging, including the protective cover on the soleplate. Make sure the iron is not plugged in. Set the variable steam switch to Fill the water tank via the filling hole. To fill the tank with the maximum amount of water, we recommend the iron is tilted vertically whilst being filed. Do not overfill the iron otherwise it will cause leaking from around the filler cap and may run down the iron.
IN HARD WATER AREAS, WE RECOMMEND USING DEIONISED, DISTILLED OR DEMINERALISED WATER
Never use battery topping up fluid or water containing any substances like starch, sugar, fragrant additives or defrosted water from a refrigerator. -
Temperature Selection Plug in the iron and switch on at the mains. Set the temperature dial (11) to the temperature required.
Tip: Begin with cool fabrics and work up to higher settings. An iron heats up quicker than it cools down so this will save you time and energy. -
Selecting the steam level Vary the steam output using the variable steam switch (7). Only use the steam function on heavy fabrics and when the temperature dial is set within the shaded area (as shown below).
-
Using the water spray For stubbom creases, use the water spray button (8). If using for the first time, you may need to press this a few times to pull the water through.
-
Steam shot Press the Brust button( 8) for extra steam boost for stubborn creases/ heavy fabrics.
NOTE: If you need to use the steam boost whilst dry ironing, check the temperature dial (11) is set within the steam range.
NOTE: For optimum steam quality, do not operate the boost more than three times in succession.
FUNCTION
Dry ironing
Your iron can be used for dry ironing. Set the variable steam switch (7) to
and set the temperature dial (11).
You won’t need water in the tank unless using the water spray or steam shot
features.
Vertical steam
Vertical steam is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc. Hold the iron between 1cm and 2cm away from the item and press the Brust button (8).
Anti-drip system
This prevents water from escaping from the soleplate (1) when the iron is too cold. During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud click, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.
Anti-scale system
This system reduces scale deposits and helps prolong the life of the iron.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After ironing
- Set steam control to the No Steam position set the Temperature Control to MIN and unplug the appliance from the outlet and ensure the iron is cooled down completely, and empty all water from your iron.
- Wipe scale and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp cloth.
- To keep the soleplate smooth, you should avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
- Clean the upper part of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank after cleaning. Never immerse the iron in water or other liquids. Do not touch the hot metal part, hot water, or steam to avoid scalding.

FAQs
What are the disadvantages of OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron?****
Because steam irons don’t produce as much heat as steam generators or other steaming systems, it may take a while to iron your materials and they require more frequent refills than other steam ironing systems.
What is the average life of a OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron?****
Most expensive steam irons ought to last 10 to 20 years. However, there’s a good probability that technology will develop significantly over the next 20 years, so you might decide to update before your iron reaches the end of its useful life.
What happens if you use a OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron without water?****
Yes. Simply disconnect 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 option.
Does OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron consume a lot of electricity?****
Each day, a steam iron or flatiron requires around 800–2000 watts. For instance, your iron will consume about 5 kWh of electricity if you leave it on for 10 minutes each day for a month. Though your model is one of your appliances with one of the greatest electricity usage rates, you can calculate the precise amount it consumes.
What are the benefits of a OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron?****
The easiest approach to give your garments a perfectly pressed appearance and feel at home is using a steam iron. Your clothing’ fibres become moistened by the steam from the iron, which makes pressing them simpler. In addition to this, the steam keeps the fibres in place for a longer period of time.
How do you maintain a OMAIGA KB-865E 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 moist, smooth cloth to keep it working smoothly. Observe the after-use procedure.
What wattage of OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron is best?****
Each iron we suggest has a minimum of 1,500 watts, which is adequate for the work. I’ve discovered via testing that low-wattage irons don’t generate enough heat and steam to remove stubborn wrinkles.
How long does a OMAIGA KB-865E 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 achieved the right temperature for the cloth type you chose by looking at the “Wait” and “Ready” indicators.
How do you stop a OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron from rusting?****
Filling a steam iron requires using pure water at all times. Even municipally produced, filter-free water includes minerals that might corrode or clog your iron. After each use, empty the water reservoir on the iron. Any leaks should be cleaned up using a microfiber towel.
Is steam better or iron?****
If you care about results, an iron is preferable. Even though it takes a little longer and requires a little more skill, ironing offers a level of gloss that a steamer cannot. A steamer, however, is more user-friendly, all- around more adaptable, and generally produces decent results on both delicate and medium-weight fabrics.
Which iron is better steam or dry?****
More options are available for ironing with steam irons. And they are more expensive than a dry iron. A dry iron is a good choice if you want to save money. You may always sprinkle your clothing with distilled water or starch in a spray bottle to help remove creases.
How does OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron work?****
Soft tubing used to insert the water into the soleplate of the iron causes the water to convert to steam when it comes into touch with the heating resistor. Indeed, because of the heat (about 130°C-160°C), the water turns to steam and escapes via the perforations in the sole.
How long should a OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron last?****
Most expensive steam irons ought to last 10 to 20 years. However, there’s a good probability that technology will develop significantly over the next 20 years, so you might decide to update before your iron reaches the end of its useful life.
Does OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron consume a lot of electricity?****
Each day, a steam iron or flatiron requires around 800–2000 watts. For instance, your iron will consume about 5 kWh of electricity if you leave it on for 10 minutes each day for a month. Though your model is one of your appliances with one of the greatest electricity usage rates, you can calculate the precise amount it consumes.
Why OMAIGA KB-865E steam iron is better than normal iron?****
The fabric is made softer by steam, which makes ironing simpler and quicker. As the name implies, a dry iron cannot mist or steam. This lessens its functionality while also simplifying how it is operated.
