5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
- To turn on the iron, locate the power switch on the cord or unit and slide it to the 'ON' position.
- The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the iron is heating up.
- Allow a few moments for the iron to reach the desired temperature.
- To turn off, slide the power switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the iron from the outlet.
5.2 Dry Ironing
- Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam function is disengaged (if applicable).
- Place the garment on a clean, heat-resistant ironing surface.
- Gently glide the iron over the fabric to remove wrinkles.
5.3 Steam Ironing (Wet Ironing)
- Fill the water tank as described in the Setup section.
- Allow the iron to heat up completely until the indicator light suggests it's ready for steam.
- Activate the steam function (if there's a dedicated button or switch).
- Iron the garment, allowing the steam to penetrate the fibers for effective wrinkle removal. The iron produces a fine water mist for moisturizing ironing.

5.4 Vertical Steaming
- Hang the garment on a hanger.
- Ensure the water tank is filled and the iron is heated to steam temperature.
- Hold the iron vertically, a few inches away from the fabric, and press the steam button (if applicable) or allow continuous steam to flow.
- Move the iron up and down the garment, allowing the high-temperature steam to relax wrinkles. This high-temperature steam also helps eliminate mites and bacteria.
