4.1 Unpacking

• Carefully remove the iron from its packaging.
• Remove any stickers or protective films from the soleplate or body of the iron.
• Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

4.2 First Use Preparation

• Before first use, it is recommended to iron an old piece of damp cloth to ensure any manufacturing residues are removed from the soleplate.
• Fill the water tank as described in the 'Filling the Water Tank' section below.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Set the steam control slider to the 'Dry' position.
3. Open the water filling inlet cover.
4. Hold the iron in a tilted position and fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' mark. Do not overfill.
5. Close the water filling inlet cover securely.

5.2 Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet (220V).
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type. Refer to the fabric care labels on your garments.
3. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating up. The iron heats up quickly, typically within 35 seconds.
4. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.

5.3 Dry Ironing

• Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control slider is set to the 'Dry' position.
• Set the temperature according to the fabric type.
• Once the indicator light turns off, you can begin dry ironing.

5.4 Steam Ironing

• Fill the water tank as described in section 5.1.
• Set the temperature control dial to a steam-suitable setting (usually between '••' and 'MAX'). Steam is only produced at higher temperatures.
• Once the indicator light turns off, move the steam control slider to the desired steam position (continuous steam or Eco mode).
• For an extra burst of steam, press the steam boost button. This delivers up to 120 g/min of steam.
• For energy saving, select the 'Eco' mode, which reduces steam output by 50%.

5.5 Water Spray Function

• The water spray function can be used with dry or steam ironing to dampen stubborn creases.
• Press the spray button to release a fine mist of water onto the fabric.

5.6 Vertical Steaming

• The steam boost function can be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments, curtains, etc.
• Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam boost button.

5.7 After Use

1. Turn the temperature control dial to 'MIN' and set the steam control slider to 'Dry'.
2. Unplug the iron from the power outlet.
3. Allow the iron to cool down completely before storing.
4. Empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent limescale buildup.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Self-Cleaning Function

The iron features a self-cleaning function to remove scale particles from the steam chamber. Perform this function regularly, especially in hard water areas.

1. Fill the water tank to the 'MAX' level.
2. Set the steam control slider to 'Dry' and the temperature dial to 'MAX'.
3. Plug in the iron and wait for the indicator light to turn off.
4. Unplug the iron.
5. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
6. Press and hold the self-clean button (refer to product diagram if available, otherwise use steam boost repeatedly) to allow hot water and steam to flush out scale.
7. Gently shake the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
8. Plug in the iron again and let it heat up to dry the soleplate.
9. Unplug and let it cool before storing.

6.2 Cleaning the Soleplate

• After the iron has cooled down, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemicals as these can damage the non-stick coating.
