- Linen
- Cotton
- Wool
- Silk
- Nylon/Synthetic
Always check the garment's care label for recommended ironing temperatures. Allow the iron to reach the selected temperature before use.
5.2 Steam Ironing
- Fill the water tank as described in Section 4.2.
- Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for steam ironing (usually higher temperatures for cotton/linen).
- Once the iron reaches the desired temperature, slide the steam/dry selector to the 'Steam' position.
- Begin ironing, moving the iron smoothly over the fabric.
5.3 Dry Ironing
- Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam/dry selector is set to the 'Dry' position.
- Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for dry ironing.
- Allow the iron to heat up.
- Iron the fabric as needed.
5.4 Water Spray Function
To use the water spray function, press the spray button located on the handle. This will emit a fine mist of water to help dampen stubborn wrinkles.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Auto-Clean System
The iron is equipped with an Auto-Clean system to flush out mineral deposits and maintain optimal performance. Refer to the specific instructions for activating the auto-clean cycle, typically involving filling the tank, heating the iron, and then pressing a dedicated self-clean button while holding it over a sink.
6.2 Descaling (Anti-Calc)
While the iron has an anti-calc feature, regular descaling is recommended, especially in areas with hard water. Consult the full user manual (if available) for detailed descaling procedures. Generally, this involves using a descaling solution or a vinegar-water mixture.
6.3 Cleaning the Soleplate
To clean the ceramic soleplate, ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use harsh scouring pads or metallic cleaners, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
6.4 Storage
After use, unplug the iron, empty any remaining water from the tank, and allow it to cool completely. Store the iron upright in a safe, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Secure the power cord to prevent damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leakage from soleplate | Water tank overfilled; temperature too low for steam. | Do not overfill the tank. Ensure temperature is set high enough for steam generation. |
| Iron not heating | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; auto-off activated. | Check power connection. Try a different outlet. Move the iron to reactivate. |
| No steam output | Water tank empty; temperature too low; steam selector in 'Dry' position. | Fill water tank. Set temperature higher. Move steam selector to 'Steam'. |
| Soleplate sticking/dirty | Residue buildup from fabrics or starch. | Clean the soleplate as described in Section 6.3. |

9. User Tips
- For best results, use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup, even with the anti-calc feature.
- Always iron fabrics in the order of their temperature sensitivity, starting with lower temperatures (e.g., synthetics, silk) and moving to higher ones (e.g., cotton, linen). This prevents damage to delicate items.
- To remove stubborn wrinkles, use the spray function to lightly dampen the fabric before applying steam or dry heat.
- When ironing delicate fabrics like silk, consider placing a thin cloth between the iron and the garment to protect it.
