3. Setup Instructions

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts listed in the 'What's in the Box' section are present.

    Hand soaking the anti-scale cartridge in water for 5 minutes
    Ensure the anti-scale cartridge is soaked for 5 minutes prior to first use.
  3. Fill Water Tank: Remove the 1.5L water tank from the base. Fill it with clean tap water up to the 'MAX' line. Distilled water is recommended to minimize mineral buildup. Reinsert the water tank securely into the base.
  4. Placement: Place the ironing station on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the power cord and steam hose are not obstructed.
  5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

  1. Power On: Press the power button on the digital display. The unit will begin to heat up.
  2. Select Temperature: Use the digital display to select the appropriate temperature setting for your fabric. The 140IS MAVEN has 4 temperature settings:
    • Eco Mode: Safe for all fabrics.
    • Dot 1: Lowest setting, no steam.
    • Dot 2: Medium/Low setting, low steam.
    • Dot 3: Medium heat, medium steam.
    • Dot 4: Maximum heat and steam.

    Always refer to garment labels for ironing instructions. The iron heats up quickly.

  3. Generate Steam: To produce steam, press and hold the steam trigger located on the underside of the iron handle. The unit does not produce continuous steam without holding the button.
  4. Iron Lock Feature: When transporting the ironing station, engage the iron lock to secure the iron to its base, preventing accidental movement.
  5. Pro Detail Tip: Utilize the pointed tip of the soleplate to iron around buttons, collars, and other intricate areas.

5. Maintenance

Water Tank Refilling:

The 1.5L water tank can be refilled at any time, even during ironing, without needing to power down the unit. Simply remove the tank, fill with water, and reinsert.

Anti-Scale Cartridge:

The anti-scale cartridge helps prevent mineral buildup. Ensure it is properly soaked before initial use. While the manual does not specify a replacement schedule, regular inspection for mineral buildup is recommended. Replace if significant calcification is observed.

Cleaning the Soleplate:

Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the ceramic soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads, as these can damage the soleplate.

Exterior Cleaning:

Wipe the exterior of the ironing station with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ironing station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • No Steam Production:
    • Ensure the anti-scale cartridge was soaked for 5 minutes before first use.
    • Check if the water tank is sufficiently filled.
    • Confirm that the steam trigger on the iron handle is being pressed and held.
    • Verify the temperature setting is appropriate for steam generation (Dot 2, Dot 3, or Dot 4).
  • Chugging Noise:
    • A small chugging noise is normal during operation as the pump delivers steam.
    • If the noise increases, check the water level in the tank; it may be running low.
    • Ensure the anti-scale cartridge was properly soaked.
  • Iron Shuts Off Unexpectedly:
    • The unit has a 10-minute auto shut-off safety feature.
    • To re-engage, move the iron or press any button on the digital display.
  • Difficulty with Temperature Settings:
    • The touch controls may require multiple attempts to select the desired temperature. Ensure your finger makes firm contact.
