The Girmi SS01 is a steam station designed for ironing, offering a range of features for efficient and safe use.
Function Description
The Girmi SS01 functions as a steam ironing system, combining a traditional iron with a separate water tank (boiler) to generate continuous steam. This design allows for more powerful and consistent steam output compared to standard steam irons, making it suitable for a variety of fabrics and ironing tasks. The system is designed to facilitate both steam ironing and dry ironing. It includes controls for temperature and steam regulation, allowing users to adapt the ironing process to different fabric types. The separate boiler ensures a larger water capacity, reducing the need for frequent refills during extended ironing sessions. The iron itself is equipped with a plate that heats up to smooth out wrinkles, while the steam helps to relax fabric fibers for easier and more effective ironing.

Usage Features
The Girmi SS01 is designed for ease of use with several operational features:
- Installation: The appliance should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from heat sources. The tank needs to be filled with distilled water, up to a maximum capacity of 700cc.
- Operating:
- Power On: Plug in the appliance. The power light (3) will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating up.
- Boiler Activation: The boiler control light (5) will illuminate when the boiler is ready to produce steam. During normal operation, this light may cycle on and off.
- Temperature Setting: The iron's temperature can be adjusted using the temperature control knob (11) according to the fabric type (refer to the fabric temperature table provided in the manual). The iron temperature control light (14) will illuminate when the iron is heating up and turn off when the desired temperature is reached.
- Steam Ironing: Once the "steam ready" light (5) is on, steam can be released by pressing the steam button (13). For continuous steam, the button can be held down or locked in position.
- Dry Ironing: To iron without steam, simply set the desired temperature and do not press the steam button.
- Filling the Tank: The tank should be filled with distilled water. It is recommended to use the appropriate measuring cup (dosator) to avoid overfilling.
- Safety Precautions: Always ensure the iron is placed on its insulating rubber base (8) when not in use. Avoid touching hot surfaces and do not expose the appliance to rain or moisture. Never open the boiler cap while the appliance is hot or under pressure.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the Girmi SS01:
- Cleaning:
- Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely.
- The iron plate can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges or metal objects.
- Plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral detergent. Do not immerse the unit in water.
- Storage:
- After use, turn off the appliance, unplug it, and allow it to cool.
- Empty any remaining water from the tank.
- Wrap the power cord around the boiler for neat storage.
- Store the appliance in a dry place.
- Descaling: The use of distilled water is highly recommended to prevent excessive scale buildup in the boiler. The manual does not specify a descaling procedure, but regular use of distilled water minimizes the need for it.
- General Care:
- Do not pull the power cord to disconnect the plug.
- Do not wrap the power cord around the iron while it is hot.
- Regularly check the power cord for any damage. If damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service center.
- Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Always contact an authorized service center for any malfunctions or repairs.
- Ensure the appliance is stored in a dry place and out of reach of children.
The manual emphasizes the importance of reading all safety instructions before use to prevent damage, injury, or improper operation. It also highlights that the appliance is intended for domestic use and should not be used for commercial purposes.
