Description

Sewing Star ST 94B – Bottle Iron

The Sewing Star ST 94B is an industrial-style gravity-feed steam iron designed for dressmakers, tailors, and hobbyists.

It provides professional-grade steam performance without requiring an external boiler.

Key Features and Specifications:

Water System: Includes a 3-litre water bottle that must be suspended above the workspace (at least 1 to 2 metres high) to feed water to the iron via gravity through a silicone hose.

Controls: Features a rotary heat dial for temperature control and a soft-touch thumb switch for manual steam release.
Safety: Equipped with a built-in heat shield for protection during extended use.

Suitability: Ideal for home and small business use. It is not recommended for high-volume industrial applications or laundromats.

Operation and Maintenance:

Warm-up Time: Typically requires about 10 minutes to reach the proper temperature (usually set to level 4 for standard cotton).

Steam Usage: Users are cautioned not to hold the steam button for too long, as this can cause the iron to spit, sputter, or leak water from the sole plate.

Important Care: Never turn on the iron without water in the system, as “dry heating” can damage the unit and void the warranty.

Cleaning: The iron should be rested horizontally on a silicone plate when not in use.
