Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present. Retain packaging for storage or transport.

3. Filling the Water Tank:

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Press the ON/OFF button on the base. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the appliance is heating up.

1. Cleaning the Soleplate:
