Description
Heat & Steam
The ability to produce a lot of steam is what makes an iron great. Silver Star gravity-feed steam irons produce a lot of steam! Silver Star irons are great for fusing interfacing, and you never have to apply much pressure with an iron that weighs 4 pounds!
Industrial Strength
Silver Star irons are designed and built for industrial applications, theyre durable and tough. They are also very easy to setup and operate, which makes them ideal for domestic use too.
Easy Three-Step Setup!

STEP 1 : Install Sole PlateThe non-stick laminate sole plate, also called an iron shoe, is an invaluable companion for your Silver Star gravity-fed steam iron. It prevents overheating, burns, scorching, and shine, it also helps evenly disburse the steam that’s emitted by your Silver Star iron. To install, simply lay the sole plate on a flat surface with the white laminate side down, lift the attached spring and slide the iron underneath the spring. (Fig 1) Push the iron forward until it fully seats into the sole plate, (Fig 2) then position the spring as needed to apply proper tension and support. (Fig 3) |
STEP 2 : Connect Water BottleIts important to always use demineralizer to remove heavy metals and other contaminates from the water before it enters your iron. The Silver Star inline demineralizer cartridge makes this easy! Simply connect one end of the short black rubber hose to the outlet on your water bottle, connect the other end to the inlet of your demineralizer cartridge, and connect the outlet of the cartridge to your blue water supply hose. (Fig 1) After the demineralizer cartridge is in place, slip the 4” steel spring over the open end of your blue water supply hose and then gently slide the hose and spring onto the solenoid valve inlet, which is located on the side of your iron. (Fig 2) Make sure the water supply hose and steel spring are securely seated against the solenoid valve. (Fig 2) Finally, install the small white hooks, as needed, to the hose and power cord so they’re easier to manage (fig 3). |
STEP 3: Fill & Hang Water BottleYour bottle has a minimum water level that is clearly marked with a blue line. Fill the bottle with as much clean tap water as you need, making sure it exceeds the minimum. The bottle may be hung from a hook permanently affixed to the ceiling or a wall, or you may find it handy to get yourself an IV pole to hang it from, which makes it portable. (IV poles are available on Amazon, of course!) The important thing when hanging the bottle is to make sure the bottom of the bottle is at least 3 feet (36 inches) above your ironing surface. (Fig 2) It can hang higher if you prefer, but it should never hang lower than 36 inches. Last, open the water valve on the bottom of your hanging water bottle and youre ready to begin ironing. |
Just a Touch
A touch of the button is all you need to generate a whole lot of steam very quickly. Never hold the button down for more than a few seconds, because this can cause the iron to spit and sputter, and to leak water onto your project.
