Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the iron, power base, and water filling cup. Retain the instruction manual for future reference.
- Positioning the Power Base: Place the power base on a stable, heat-resistant surface near an electrical outlet.
- Corded or Cordless Use: The iron can be used cordlessly by placing it on the heated base between uses, or it can be locked onto the base for continuous corded operation. To lock the iron to the base, slide the lock switch located at the back of the base.
- Filling the Water Tank: Ensure the steam selector is set to 'Off'. Open the water tank cover and use the provided water filling cup to add distilled water to the tank. Do not overfill. Close the water tank cover securely.
Operating Instructions
- Power On and Heating: Plug the power base into a standard electrical outlet. Place the iron onto the power base. The iron heats up rapidly, typically reaching ironing temperature in approximately 30 seconds. A temperature-ready light indicator will illuminate when the iron is ready for use.
- Temperature Selection: Adjust the temperature dial according to the fabric type. Always check garment care labels for recommended ironing temperatures.
- Steam Burst Function: For stubborn wrinkles, press the steam burst button. This delivers a powerful shot of steam. For optimal results, allow a few seconds between bursts.
- Vertical Steaming: The powerful steam burst function also allows for vertical steaming of hanging garments, drapes, or upholstery. Hold the iron upright, close to the fabric, and press the steam burst button.
- Precision Tip: The iron features a precision tip designed for accurate ironing around buttons, collars, and tight corners.

Maintenance
- Anti-Calc System: The iron is equipped with an anti-calc system to reduce mineral buildup and prolong its lifespan. Regular use of distilled water is recommended.
- Anti-Drip Feature: This feature is designed to prevent water from dripping from the soleplate when the iron is not hot enough to produce steam. If dripping occurs, ensure the iron has reached the correct temperature for steam generation.
- Cleaning the Soleplate: Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the ceramic soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
- Draining Water: After each use, empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent mineral buildup and odors.
- Storage: Store the iron upright on its power base in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Iron not heating | Not plugged in; power base not connected; auto-off activated. | Ensure power base is securely plugged in and the iron is correctly seated on the base. Allow time for reheating if auto-off was activated. |
| No steam or insufficient steam | Water tank empty; temperature too low; steam vents clogged. | Fill water tank; increase temperature setting; perform self-cleaning to clear vents. |
| Water dripping from soleplate | Temperature too low for steam; tank overfilled. | Ensure iron is at the correct temperature for steam (refer to temperature-ready light); do not overfill water tank. |
| Iron-on transfers damaged | Incorrect temperature setting; excessive pressure. | Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Use the lowest effective temperature and light pressure when ironing over delicate transfers. |
