Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Position: Place the steam generator on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, such as an ironing board designed for steam generators.
3. Fill Water Tank: Remove the water tank and fill it with tap water up to the 'MAX' level. Do not use distilled or demineralized water as it can affect steam performance. Reinsert the tank securely.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Press the On/Off button on the control panel. The indicator light will flash while the appliance heats up. It will become steady when ready (approximately 2 minutes).
2. No Setting Technology: Thanks to the No Setting technology, the iron automatically adjusts to all ironable fabrics. You do not need to manually select temperature or steam settings.
3. Steam Ironing: Press the steam trigger located under the iron's handle to release continuous steam. For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button (if available, usually a double-press of the trigger or a separate button) for an extra burst of steam.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam generator.

Cleaning the Soleplate:
