Setup

Before First Use

• Remove any stickers or protective film from the soleplate.
• It is normal for a slight odor or smoke to occur during the first few minutes of use as manufacturing residues burn off. This will disappear after a short time.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Open the water filling inlet cap.
3. Fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' mark. Do not overfill.
4. Close the water filling inlet cap securely.

Operating the Iron

Temperature and Steam Settings

• Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
• Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type. The pilot light will illuminate.
• Wait for the pilot light to turn off, indicating the iron has reached the set temperature.
• For dry ironing, set the steam selector switch to the 'Dry' position.
• For steam ironing, set the steam selector switch to the 'Steam' or 'Max Steam' position, ensuring the temperature setting is within the steam range (usually 2 dots or higher).

Maintenance

Cleaning the Soleplate

• Allow the iron to cool completely.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh cleaners as they can damage the soleplate.

Descaling (Anti-Calc System)

The iron features an Anti-Calc system to reduce limescale build-up. For optimal performance, perform the self-clean function regularly, especially in hard water areas.

1. Fill the water tank to the MAX line.
2. Set the temperature to MAX and plug in the iron.
3. Once the pilot light goes out, unplug the iron.
4. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink and press the self-clean button. Steam and boiling water will be expelled, flushing out scale and impurities.
5. Release the button when the water tank is empty.
6. Repeat if necessary.

Storage

• Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before storing.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Store the iron upright on its heel rest to prevent soleplate damage.
