Before First Use:

• It is normal for a slight odor or smoke to occur during the first few minutes of use. This will dissipate quickly.
• To clean the soleplate, iron an old, damp cloth for a few minutes.

Filling the Water Tank:

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Set the steam control to the "dry ironing" position (no steam).
3. Open the water inlet cap.
4. Fill the water tank with clean tap water up to the "MAX" level indicator. Do not overfill.
5. Close the water inlet cap securely.

Note: For areas with hard water, it is recommended to use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water to prevent limescale buildup.

4. Operating Instructions

Temperature Setting:

• Refer to the garment's care label for recommended ironing temperature.
• Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting.
• The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating. It will turn off when the set temperature is reached.

Dry Ironing:

1. Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control is set to "dry ironing".
2. Plug in the iron and set the desired temperature.
3. Wait for the indicator light to turn off before beginning to iron.

Steam Ironing:

1. Fill the water tank as described in the "Setup" section.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial to a steam-appropriate setting (usually between "••" and "•••" or MAX).
3. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, indicating the iron has reached the correct temperature.
4. Adjust the steam button to the desired steam level.
5. Begin ironing.

Spray Function:

Press the spray button to release a fine mist of water, which helps to dampen stubborn creases.

Automatic Shut-Off (3-Way Safety):

For safety and energy saving, your iron is equipped with a 3-way automatic shut-off system:

• Horizontal Position: The iron will automatically turn off after approximately 25-30 seconds if left motionless on its soleplate.
• Vertical Position: The iron will automatically turn off after approximately 8-10 minutes if left motionless in its upright position.
• Unused: The iron will automatically turn off after 1 hour of inactivity.

When the iron automatically shuts off, an audible and visual warning will be provided. To restart the iron, simply move it slightly.

Anti-Drip System:

The anti-drip system prevents water from dripping onto your garments when the iron's temperature is too low for steam production. This helps to avoid water stains.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your iron.

Cleaning the Soleplate:

• Always ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner.
• Do not use harsh scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the ceramic coating.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Wipe the exterior of the iron with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Descaling (Anti-Calc):

To maintain optimal steam performance, descale your iron regularly, especially in hard water areas. Refer to the specific descaling instructions in your full product manual if available, or use a commercially available iron descaling solution following its instructions. Always ensure the iron is unplugged and cool before descaling.

Storage:

• Unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Store the iron in an upright position to protect the soleplate.
• Wrap the power cord neatly around the cord wrap area if available, or secure it with a tie.
