  Reliable IronMavenTM J490A Home Ironing System With Anti-Calc Warning System.
Reliable IronMavenTM J490A Steam Iron.
What’s the "secret" to getting a clean, crisp finish to your garments? Dry pressurized steam is the secret. Professionals know the value of using dry, pressurized steam when ironing. The steam gets into the fabric faster, which means your ironing time is cut in half. It’s true! Steam is used to soften the fibers, and the weight of the iron shapes the fabric. This is effortless when you have the right tools to do the job. Find out what garment makers, dry cleaners and tailors have known for years: pressurized steam transforms ironing from a tiresome chore to an effortless task. Now the same quality steam is available to everyone. Continuous Steam System (CSS).
 With electronic CSSTM (Continuous Steam System) technology, you’ll never have to worry about running out of steam in the middle of ironing again. Simply refill the built-in water tank when the water level is low (or the low water light is on) and away you go. No more waiting. And because it's a fully electronic system, you will enjoy the benefits of the very latest CSSTM technology. The IronMavenTM J490A is the first ironing system equipped with an anti-calc warning system. In a few short steps, you can program the boiler for the hardness of water that you are using (litmus paper is supplied) and the system will automatically tell you when it is time to use the de-scaling powder that is supplied. No more guessing! Reliable Quality.
ReliableTM understands that the quality of an ironing system is only as good (no matter how nice it looks) as what is inside it. This is why we use the best components available to ensure your total satisfaction.
Reliable IronMavenTM J490A Key Features.
Removable water tank.
The new IronMaven J490A is easy to use, and easy to refill. The water container snaps out so you can take it to your sink. Plus, the IronMaven J490A uses our newest, most advanced version of our CSSTM (Continuous Steam System) technology.
Easy to use panel.
The control panel on the IronMaven J490A gives you all the control you need at your fingertips. The panels functions include a simple programer for the anti-calc warning system, a knob to control the amount of steam needed for your ironing task, power switches for the boiler and iron, a low water indicator to tell you its time to refill the tank, and a power on/off indicator light.

Easy to clean.
The Reliable IronMaven J490A is equipped with a unique anti-calc warning system that tells you when it is time to clean the steam tank. Each unit is supplied with two strips of litmus paper so you can check the hardness of your water. In a couple of short steps, you can program into the control panel the hardness of your water ... and that's it. When it's time to clean, the unit will beep, indicating that it is time to follow the cleaning instructions (see owners manual).

Professional cork handle.
Just like Reliable's professional "i" series steam ironing stations, the new IronMaven J490A comes standard with a professional quality cork handle iron. Cork is still the natural choice for professionals because of its resistance to heat, longevity (and sustainability as well). The iron on the J490A is also equipped with a locking mechanism for the steam activation button. This is a handy feature when you want to use your iron as a fabric steamer (vertical steaming).

Aluminum sole plate ... steam holes at the tip.
Professionals know the value of an aluminum sole plate. It is the (still) the best conductor of heat for a steam iron, and is the only material we use on our professional and home iron steam stations. And like all ReliableTM steam irons, the holes are at the tip. This allows maximum penetration of steam into the fabric and reduces the negative effects of hard water in a steam iron.
