The SINGER SGR-17200-CRMG is a refill system ironing steam generator designed for domestic use, offering both steam and dry ironing capabilities. It generates high-temperature steam, requiring careful handling during operation.
Function Description:
The appliance features a high-technology low-pressure steam chamber that heats up quickly. Water is converted into steam vapor within this chamber and then transported to the iron unit via a supply cord. This system allows for efficient steam ironing, including vertical steaming for delicate garments. The refill system ensures continuous operation by allowing the water tank to be refilled while the appliance is in use, eliminating the need to wait for it to cool down. An anti-calcium cartridge purifies the water, removing permanent and temporary hardness to prolong the appliance's lifespan.
Important Technical Specifications:
The device operates on mains voltage, which should correspond to the local electricity supply. It includes a power switch (ON/OFF) on the base unit and a temperature dial on the iron unit for adjusting heat settings. A pilot light indicates when the desired temperature is reached. The anti-cal cartridge contains mix-bedded anti-scale resins. The replacement interval for this cartridge depends on water hardness and usage: 6 months for soft water, 3 months for medium water, and 1 month for hard water, based on an average ironing time of two hours per week. The power and supply cords must be unwound and straightened before use.
Usage Features:
First Time Ironing:
- Remove any protective films or stickers from the soleplate and cabinet.
- Unwind and straighten the power and supply cords.
- Fill the water tank with tap water (refer to "How to Fill Water").
- Connect the appliance to a suitable mains supply outlet.
- Switch on the power.
- Turn the temperature dial on the iron unit clockwise to the "Maximum" position; the pilot light will glow.
- The pilot light will turn off once the required temperature is reached.
- The appliance is ready for use.
- Press and hold the steam button for 1 minute to clean the steam generating system.
- Begin first-time ironing with an old towel.
Note: It takes about one minute to reach the required temperature. Before first use, immerse the anti-scale cartridge in a bowl of water for about 5 minutes before inserting it into the water tank.
Steam Ironing:
- Unwind and straighten the power and supply cords.
- Fill the water tank with tap water.
- Connect the appliance to a suitable mains supply outlet.
- Switch on the power.
- Turn the temperature dial on the iron clockwise, selecting dot-1, dot-2, or dot-3 according to the garment label recommendations.
- The pilot light will glow until the required temperature is reached, then turn off.
- The appliance is ready for use.
- Press the steam button for steam ironing.
Note: A slight vibration from the electrical pump is normal during the first few seconds of steam ironing as water is pumped into the heating chamber. If this persists for over 30 seconds, check the water tank and filter assembly. The noise will continue each time the steam button is pressed, but it will be less noisy after the initial use.
Vertical Steaming:
This function removes wrinkles from delicate hanging garments (e.g., curtains).
Note: Do not apply steam to clothes or fabrics being worn by humans or pets due to high steam temperature. Maintain a distance of a few centimeters from delicate fabrics (synthetics, silk, velvet, etc.) to prevent damage.
Dry Ironing:
- Unwind and straighten the power and supply cords.
- Connect the appliance to a suitable mains supply outlet.
- Switch on the power.
- Turn the temperature dial on the iron clockwise, selecting dot-1, dot-2, or dot-3 according to the garment label.
- The pilot light will glow until the required temperature is reached, then turn off.
- The appliance is ready for use.
- Turn the temperature dial on the iron unit anti-clockwise to "Min" to switch off the iron.
- Turn off the appliance using the on/off switch.
- Disconnect the power cord from the mains supply outlet.
- Store the appliance in a safe place once it has completely cooled down.
How to Fill Water:
- Slide out the water tank.
- Remove the anti-cal cartridge.
- Fill the tank to the MAX level.
- Reinstall the anti-cal cartridge.
- Replace the water tank in its place.
Note: Water can be refilled while the appliance is working.
Maintenance Features:
Anti-Cal System:
The anti-cal cartridge purifies water and removes hardness. Its replacement frequency depends on water hardness and usage. For average use (two hours/week), replace the cartridge every 6 months for soft water, 3 months for medium water, and 1 month for hard water.
Note: Insert a new anti-scale cartridge into the water tank after immersing it in a bowl of water for about 5 minutes.
Draining the Water:
- Disconnect the power cord from the mains supply outlet.
- Slide out the water tank and remove the anti-cal cartridge.
- Empty the water by holding the tank upside down.
- Replace the anti-cal cartridge and reinstall the water tank.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
- Disconnect the power cord from the mains supply outlet.
