Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. First Use Preparation: Before first use, it is recommended to iron an old piece of fabric (e.g., a towel) to remove any manufacturing residues from the soleplate.
3. Filling the Water Tank:
   • Ensure the iron is unplugged.
   • Set the steam control to the "Dry Ironing" position (no steam).
   • Open the water filling inlet.
   • Fill the water tank with tap water up to the "MAX" level indicator. Do not overfill.
   • Close the water filling inlet securely.
4. Connecting to Power: Plug the iron into a suitable grounded electrical outlet (1800W, 120V AC).

Operating Instructions

Dry Ironing

1. Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control is set to "Dry Ironing".
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired setting for your fabric type. Refer to the fabric care labels.
3. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light turns off, signaling it has reached the set temperature.
4. Begin ironing.

Steam Ironing

1. Fill the water tank as described in the "Setup" section.
2. Set the temperature control dial to a setting within the steam range (usually indicated by a steam symbol on the dial). Steam is only generated at higher temperatures.
3. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light turns off.
4. Adjust the steam control lever to the desired steam output.
5. Begin ironing. The continuous steam output is up to 35 g/minute.

Using the Spray Function

• The spray function can be used with both dry and steam ironing.
• Press the spray button to release a fine mist of water onto the fabric, helping to remove stubborn wrinkles.

Using the Steam Boost Function

• The steam boost provides an extra powerful burst of steam (up to 100 g/minute) for very stubborn creases or thicker fabrics.
• Press the steam boost button firmly. Wait a few seconds between bursts to allow the iron to reheat and build up steam.
• This function can also be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments.

Maintenance

Emptying and Storing the Iron

1. After each use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely.
2. Empty any remaining water from the tank.
3. Store the iron upright on its heel in a safe, dry place.

Cleaning the Soleplate

• To clean the soleplate, use a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for iron soleplates.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or metal objects, as these can scratch the Durilium Airglide coating.
