• Do not immerse the iron, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
• Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children.

Setup

1. Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet and has cooled down.
2. Open the water inlet cover, usually located on the top front of the iron.
3. Using a measuring cup, carefully pour clean tap water into the water tank up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.
4. Close the water inlet cover securely to prevent leakage.

2. Power Connection

• Verify that your electrical outlet provides 220-240V~50-60Hz power. This iron is not compatible with 100-120V power systems.
• Plug the iron's power cord into a grounded 220-240V electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting the Temperature

1. Refer to the fabric care label on your garment to determine the appropriate ironing temperature.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting (e.g., synthetic, silk, wool, cotton, linen).
3. Allow the iron to heat up. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.

2. Using the Steam Function

• Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Set the temperature dial to a steam-appropriate setting (usually cotton or linen, indicated on the dial). Steam will not be generated at lower temperatures.
• Once the iron reaches the set temperature, slide the steam selector switch to the desired steam level.
• For a burst of steam, press the steam shot button.

3. Using the Spray Mist Function

• The spray mist function is useful for dampening stubborn wrinkles.
• Press the spray mist button to release a fine mist of water onto the fabric.

4. Dry Ironing

• For dry ironing, ensure the water tank is empty or the steam selector is set to the "dry" position.
• Set the temperature dial according to the fabric type.
• Proceed with ironing as usual.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your iron.

1. Cleaning the Soleplate

• Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
• Wipe the titanium-coated soleplate with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate.

2. Draining the Water Tank

• After each use, or before storing, ensure the iron is unplugged and cool.
• Open the water inlet cover and invert the iron over a sink to drain any remaining water.
• Close the water inlet cover.

3. Auto Anti-Calcium System

• The iron is equipped with an auto anti-calcium system to minimize mineral buildup.
• While this system reduces maintenance, using distilled or demineralized water can further prevent scale formation, especially in areas with hard water.

4. Storage

• Store the iron upright on its heel rest to protect the soleplate.
• Ensure the cord is neatly wrapped and not tightly coiled around the hot soleplate.
• Store in a dry, safe place out of reach of children.
