4. Setup and First Use

4.1 Before First Use

• Remove any labels 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 is harmless.
• To clean the internal components, fill the water tank, heat the iron, and iron an old piece of fabric for a few minutes using steam.

4.2 Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Set the steam control dial to the "dry ironing" position (no steam).
3. Open the water filling inlet cover.
4. Using a measuring cup, carefully pour tap water into the water tank up to the "MAX" indicator. Do not overfill.
5. Close the water filling inlet cover securely.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Temperature Setting

• Always check the garment's care label for ironing instructions.
• Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
• Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting (e.g., synthetic, silk, wool, cotton, linen). The indicator light will illuminate.
• Wait for the indicator light to turn off, indicating the iron has reached the selected temperature.

5.2 Steam Ironing

• Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Set the temperature control dial to a steam-suitable setting (usually cotton or linen).
• Once the iron reaches temperature, adjust the steam control dial to the desired steam level.
• For a powerful steam shot (200g/min), press the steam shot button. This is effective for stubborn creases.

5.3 Dry Ironing

5.4 Spray Function

• Press the spray button to lightly moisten fabric, which helps in smoothing out wrinkles.

5.5 Eco Program

• The Eco program is designed for delicate fabrics, providing safe ironing with reduced steam and energy consumption. Select the Eco setting on the temperature dial if available, or use a lower temperature setting with minimal steam.

5.6 Automatic Shut-off

• For safety, the iron will automatically turn off if left motionless for 30 seconds in a horizontal position or 8 minutes in a vertical position.
• To reactivate, simply move the iron.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Cleaning the Soleplate

• After use, allow the iron to cool completely.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
