- Do not leave the iron unattended while it is switched on or connected to the power supply.
- Keep the iron and its cord out of reach of children and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
- Never immerse the iron, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Do not operate the iron if the cord or plug is damaged, or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. Contact an authorized service center.
- Place the iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface when resting.
- Exercise caution when filling the water tank or emptying it, as hot steam or water may be present.
- Unplug the iron from the electrical outlet before filling with water, cleaning, or when not in use.
- Do not use the iron for purposes other than its intended use.
3. Setup and First Use
3.1 Unpacking

3.2 Filling the Water Tank
- Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.

3.3 Initial Heating
- Plug the iron into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Set the temperature dial to the maximum setting. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Once the indicator light turns off (or changes color), the iron has reached the desired temperature.
- For first use, iron an old piece of fabric for a few minutes to remove any manufacturing residues. Steam may be released during this process.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Temperature Settings
Adjust the temperature dial according to the fabric type. Always check the garment's care label. Start with lower temperatures for delicate fabrics and increase for heavier materials.
4.2 Steam Functions
The iron features continuous steam output up to 45 g/minute and a powerful steam boost up to 220 g/minute.
- Continuous Steam: Ensure the temperature is set to the steam zone (usually indicated on the dial). The iron will automatically produce steam.
- Steam Boost: Press the steam boost button (often located on the handle) for an extra burst of steam to tackle stubborn creases. Wait a few seconds between bursts.
- Vertical Steaming: Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the garment. Press the steam boost button to remove wrinkles from hanging clothes, suits, or curtains.

4.3 Spray Function
Press the spray button (if available) to lightly moisten fabric, which can help in smoothing out wrinkles.
4.4 Anti-Drip System
The integrated anti-drip system prevents water from dripping onto your fabrics, even when ironing at low temperatures.
5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning the Soleplate
Allow the iron to cool completely. Wipe the Durilium Airglide soleplate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads, as these can damage the soleplate's coating.

5.3 Storage
After use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool down completely. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Store the iron in an upright position to protect the soleplate, in a dry and safe place.
