Maintenance

1. Emptying the Water Tank

After each use, ensure the iron is unplugged and cool. Open the water inlet cover and carefully empty any remaining water from the reservoir. This prevents mineral buildup and extends the life of your iron.

2. Cleaning the Soleplate

To clean the non-stick soleplate, wipe it with a damp cloth after the iron has cooled down. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.

3. Storage

Allow the iron to cool completely before storing. Wrap the power cord neatly around the handle and place the iron in the provided storage bag to protect it from dust and scratches.
