Product Description

THE FIRST TIME YOU USE A GRAVITY-FEED IRON YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO BE WITHOUT ONE AGAIN!

Sapporo irons use gravity to provide the water flow and pressure that allows the iron to produce its own very dry, voluminous steam. Sapporo gravity feed irons easily open seams, flatten darts, set pleats instantly, give sharper creases and more! Super easy to use! Sapporo gravity-feed irons are extremely energy efficient and simple to maintain. Also, the built-in sheathed wire heater improves thermal efficiency, shortens heating time, and offers economic efficiency. Just fill up the included 1-gallon plastic tank, hang it above your work surface, install the included demineralizer cartridge into the water line to eliminate the need for distilled water, and you’re all set! A Sapporo iron is a rugged product, built to withstand years of use. Its comfortable and sleek design allows you to get to those hard-to-reach areas. This kit also includes an in-line demineralizer cartridges and an ironing shoe that is light and perfect for ironing taffeta, gabardine, nylon and any synthetic material with no shine or scorch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FIRST TIME USERS…

Unlike ordinary household steam irons, Industrial Gravity Feed Steam Irons (IGFSI) generate a whole lot of steam very quickly. When operating your iron, it’s important that you don’t hold the steam button down for an extended length; just a few seconds is all you need for a full burst of thick steam. Holding the button too long can cause the iron to build up way too much steam, which will result in sputtering, spitting, and often profuse leaking from under the sole plate. If you notice the iron start to sputter, spit, or leak, stop ironing, dry the iron thoroughly, then resume, but this time use the steam button more sparingly.

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.

Industrial Strength

The SP-527 is designed and built for industrial applications. It is 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 Plate

The non-stick laminate sole plate, also called an iron shoe, is an invaluable companion for your SP-527 gravity-fed steam iron. It prevents overheating, burns, scorching, and shine, it also helps evenly disburse the steam that’s emitted by your Sapporo 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 Bottle

It’s important to always use demineralizer to remove heavy metals and other contaminates from the water before it enters your iron. The Sapporo 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 Bottle

Your 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 you’re ready to begin ironing.

Lots of Heat & Steam!

The ability to produce a lot of steam is what makes an iron great. Sapporo gravity-feed steam irons produce a lot of steam! The SP-527 is great for fusing interfacing, and you never have to apply much pressure with an iron that weighs 5 pounds!

Industrial Gravity Feed Steam Iron (IGFSI) is a self-contained ironing system that does not require a boiler. It utilizes a separate (included) water bottle that must be suspended above your working surface.
Elegantly designed with a soft-touch thumb switch for easy and powerful steam release.
The Sapporo Gravity Feed Iron is extremely energy efficient and simple to maintain.
Built-in sheathed wire heater improves thermal efficiency, shortens heating time, and thus offers great energy efficiency.

NOTICE: If your iron stops working and it seems like the iron has no power, it probably tripped the thermal fuse. This fuse is designed to protect the unit from overheating and potentially causing a fire. Replacement thermal fuses are available on Amazon, just search for this ASIN: B09FCXSTYM
