4. Setup and First Use

Before First Use:

• Remove any protective film or stickers 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. Ensure good ventilation.
• Iron an old piece of damp cloth to clean the soleplate and remove any residues.

Filling the Water Tank:

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet and has cooled down.
2. Set the steam control slider to the "Dry Ironing" (no steam) position.
3. Open the water inlet cover.
4. Using the provided filling cup, carefully pour tap water into the water tank up to the "MAX" fill line. Do not overfill.
5. Close the water inlet cover securely.

Note: Distilled or demineralized water is recommended to prolong the life of your iron, especially in areas with hard water. Do not use perfumed water, vinegar, starch, or descaling agents in the water tank.

Connecting to Power and Heating:

1. Place the charging base on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Plug the power cord of the charging base into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Place the iron onto the charging base. The indicator light on the iron or base will illuminate, indicating that the iron is heating.
4. Set the temperature control dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type.
5. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, which signifies that the iron has reached the selected temperature. The iron is now ready for use.

5. Operating Instructions

Temperature Selection:

Always check the garment's care label for ironing instructions. If unsure, start with a low temperature and test on an inconspicuous area.

Dry Ironing:

• Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control slider is set to the "Dry Ironing" position.
• Place the iron on the charging base and allow it to heat to the desired temperature.
• Once the indicator light turns off, remove the iron from the base and begin ironing. Return the iron to the base periodically to maintain temperature.

Steam Ironing:

• Fill the water tank as described in the "Setup" section.
• Set the temperature control dial to a steam-suitable setting (usually •• or •••). Steam will not be produced at lower temperatures.
• Place the iron on the charging base and allow it to heat until the indicator light turns off.
• Once hot, remove the iron from the base and set the steam control slider to the desired steam level.
• Move the iron over the fabric. For stubborn creases, press the steam button for an extra burst of steam.
• Return the iron to the charging base when not actively ironing to reheat and maintain steam production.

Spray Function:

The spray function can be used with both dry and steam ironing to dampen stubborn creases.

• Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Press the spray button to emit a fine mist of water onto the fabric.

Vertical Steaming:

This function is useful for removing creases from hanging garments, curtains, or drapes.

• Fill the water tank and set the iron to a high temperature (•••).
• Allow the iron to heat fully on the charging base.
• Hold the iron vertically, a few centimeters away from the fabric.
• Press the steam button repeatedly to release bursts of steam.
• Caution: Do not direct steam at people or pets.

6. Maintenance and Storage

Cleaning the Iron:

• Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the iron with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• To clean the soleplate, wipe it with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Avoid scratching the soleplate.
• Never use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on the soleplate.

Descaling (Self-Clean Function):

Regular descaling helps maintain steam performance and prolong the life of your iron. Perform this function monthly or more often in hard water areas.

1. Fill the water tank to the MAX line.
2. Set the steam control to "Dry Ironing" and the temperature dial to MAX.
3. Place the iron on the charging base and allow it to heat until the indicator light turns off.
4. Unplug the iron from the wall outlet.
5. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
6. Press and hold the self-clean button (if available, otherwise use the steam burst button repeatedly while shaking the iron gently). Hot water and steam will be expelled from the soleplate, carrying away scale and impurities.
7. Continue until the water tank is empty.
8. Place the iron back on the charging base and allow it to heat up again to dry the soleplate.
9. Unplug and let it cool completely before storing.

Note: The specific self-clean button location may vary. Refer to a product diagram if available. If no dedicated button, repeated steam bursts can help.

Storage:

• Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool before storing.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Store the iron upright on its charging base in a dry, safe place, out of reach of children.
