Buying such an ironing system is not just a waste of a large amount, but a long-term investment in facilitating and accelerating routine work. And in order for such an investment to be truly profitable, you must follow the recommendations.

• If a steam generator is purchased for frequent home use, more modern appliances should be purchased. If the unit is planned to be used in travel or in the country, then small compact devices are quite suitable.
• The higher the power of the ironing system, the faster and better it will work. But at the same time, it will consume more electricity. Therefore, here it is necessary to determine what is more profitable - simplifying ironing or saving electricity.
• Steam supply power - the higher this indicator, the more effective the device will be in the work itself.

It is also worth remembering that people who are forgetful, as well as those who care about their safety, should give preference to steam generators with a self-shutdown function. Indication of readiness for work and the need to clean the device from scale - these are optional, but actually beneficial additional functions, like dry ironing.

For each model of the steam generator, the manufacturer provides detailed instructions for use. Moreover, some manuals indicate that the ironing board should be used necessarily - this will not only improve and speed up the ironing process itself, but also extend the life of the device. In general, using such an aggregate is simple.

• You must remove it from the box. Untangle all the bends on the cords.
• Pour purified water into the boiler compartment.
• Plug the steam generator into a power outlet.
• If necessary, select the ironing mode or set the heating temperature.
• At the end of the work, you should turn off the ironing system by unplugging the cord from the outlet. This also applies to units with an automatic shutdown function.

The manual on the use and use of the device itself contains information on how to care for it. By and large, you can do only two things yourself:

• clean the sole of the iron from soot;
• descale the tank or cartridge.

All other care, as well as repair work, should be carried out only in a specialized service center. To remove soot from the sole should only special cleaning products, such as pencils. It is worth refusing to use folk remedies here. Otherwise, the risk of damaging the product and turning it into unsuitable for further use is too high.

Sometimes you can use vinegar or citric acid. To do this, prepare a solution of 10 g of acid per 500 ml of water. It must be hot. Pour the mixture into the boiler and turn on the steam generation function. The device should work until all liquid has evaporated. At this time, it is better to iron some old things. At the end of the work, clean water should be poured into the tank twice and kept for 10 minutes, then drained.

Most buyers respond exclusively positively to the technique of this type. According to them, it really helps to save time and effort, and also smoothes out any things better. In isolated cases, the cumbersomeness of the latest generation steam generators and their high cost are distinguished as minuses. But even these shortcomings are covered by the quality of work of ironing systems.
