Burst of Steam:

This function works well for tough wrinkles and heavy fabrics. By pressing the "Burst of Steam" button, an intense burst of steam is emitted from the soleplate. This can be very useful when removing stubborn creases. The shot of steam facility can be used only while ironing with high ironing temperature. For optimal results, there should be 5 seconds rest between presses of the steam button. To prevent leaking water from the soleplate, do not press the steam button within 5 seconds. Also allow at least one minute before applying this burst of steam function.

Vertical Steam:

"Burst of Steam" can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position. This is useful for removing creases from hanging clothes, curtains, etc.

The laundry can be damped down by pressing the spray button a couple of times. Ensure that there is enough water in the water tank.

Fabric and Temperature Guide:

Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance:

Before cleaning, remove the plug from the socket and allow the iron to cool down sufficiently.

1. Wipe off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
2. If fiber is adhered to the soleplate, use a damp cloth with vinegar to wipe off the soleplate.
3. Never use strong acid or alkali in order to avoid damaging the soleplate.
4. If scale blocks the steam hole, please remove the scale with a toothpick; do not damage the surface of the soleplate.
5. Stand the iron on its end and let it cool down sufficiently, and meantime pour any remaining water out of the box, set the steam knob to position "O".

Self-Cleaning:

Use the self-cleaning function once every two weeks. If the water in your area is very hard (i.e., when flakes come out of the soleplate during ironing), the self-cleaning function should be used more frequently. Make sure the appliance is unplugged, set the steam selector to position "O", fill the water tank to the MAX position, do not put vinegar or other cleaning agents in the water tank, select the maximum ironing temperature, put the plug in the wall socket, unplug the iron when the power indicator light has gone out, hold the iron over the sink, press and hold the self-cleaning button and gently shake the iron to and fro. Steam and boiling water will come out of the soleplate, impurities and flakes (if any) will be flushed out. Release the self-cleaning button as soon as all the water in the tank has been used up. Repeat the self-cleaning process if the iron still contains a lot of impurities. After the self-cleaning process, put the plug in the wall socket and let the iron heat up to allow the soleplate to dry, unplug the iron when it has reached the set ironing temperature, move the hot iron gently over a piece of used cloth to remove any water stains that may have formed on the soleplate, let the iron cool down before you store it.

Anti-Drip System:

• The anti-drip system is designed to prevent water escaping from the soleplate when the iron is too cold automatically.
• During use, the anti-drip system may emit a loud clicking sound, particularly during heat-up or whilst cooling down. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the system is functioning correctly.

Built-in Anti-Scale System:

The built-in anti-scale cartridge is designed to reduce the build-up of limescale which occurs during steam ironing. This will prolong the working life of your iron. However, please note that the anti-scale cartridge will not completely stop the natural process of limescale build-up.
