4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the iron from its packaging. Retain the packaging for storage or transport.
2. First Use: Before first use, operate the iron for a few minutes without steam on an old piece of fabric to eliminate any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or small amount of smoke may occur initially; this is normal and will dissipate.
3. Filling the Water Tank:
   • Ensure the iron is unplugged.
   • Open the water tank inlet cover.
   • Fill the tank with clean tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
   • Close the water tank inlet cover securely.

   Note: For optimal performance and to prevent limescale buildup, it is recommended to use demineralized or distilled water, especially in areas with hard water.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Temperature and Steam Settings

1. Connecting to Power: Plug the iron into a suitable mains socket.
2. Setting Temperature: Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature setting according to the fabric type. The indicator light will illuminate.
3. Heating Up: Wait for the indicator light to turn off, indicating that the iron has reached the selected temperature.

5.2. Ironing Techniques

• Dry Ironing: Set the steam control to '0' and select the appropriate temperature.
• Steam Ironing: Ensure the water tank is filled and the steam control is set to the desired level. The iron will produce steam as you iron.
• Steam Boost: For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button (often located under the handle). This delivers a powerful burst of steam (up to 220 g/minute). Allow a few seconds between bursts.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your iron.

6.1. Cleaning the Soleplate

• Allow the iron to cool completely.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads.
• For stubborn marks, use a specialized soleplate cleaning stick (follow product instructions).

6.2. Anti-Drip System

The anti-drip system prevents water from dripping onto your fabrics when the iron's temperature is too low for steam production. If water drips, ensure the iron has reached the correct temperature for steam.
