Panasonic Cordless Iron Instruction Manual

1. Overview

The Panasonic NI-L70SRW Cordless 1500W Steam/Dry Iron offers unparalleled freedom and ease for all your ironing needs. Featuring a smartly curved, super smooth stainless-steel soleplate, it heats rapidly to effortlessly remove creases and wrinkles. Its cordless design eliminates tangled power cords, while variable electronic temperature and steam/dry settings provide precise control for various fabrics. This iron is ideal for everyday garments, delicates, and is particularly well-suited for quilting, sewing, and crafting. Additional features include a vertical steam function for hanging items, an automatic shut-off for safety, a convenient retractable cord in the base, and a detachable water tank for easy filling. A heat-resistant carrying case is also included for portability and storage.

2. Important Safety Instructions

• Read all instructions before using the iron.
• Use the iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• Always turn the iron OFF before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never pull on the cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.

4. Reinsert the water tank firmly into the iron until it clicks into place.

4.3 Initial Use

1. Plug the charging base into a standard electrical outlet.
2. Place the iron onto the charging base. The power indicator light on the iron will illuminate.
3. Allow the iron to heat up for a few minutes until the temperature ready light indicates it has reached the desired temperature.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and Temperature Selection

1. Place the iron on its charging base.
2. Press the 'SET' button on the iron's handle to cycle through temperature settings: Low, Medium, High. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
3. Wait for the temperature ready light to indicate the iron has reached the selected heat.

5.2 Ironing Techniques

• Dry Ironing: For fabrics that do not require steam, ensure the water tank is empty or the steam setting is off. Select the appropriate temperature and iron as usual.
• Steam Ironing: For fabrics requiring moisture to remove wrinkles, ensure the water tank is filled. Select a temperature suitable for steam (usually Medium or High). Press the steam button for a burst of steam as needed.
• Vertical Steam: To remove wrinkles from hanging garments, curtains, or drapes, hold the iron vertically a few inches away from the fabric. Press the steam button to release bursts of steam.
• The iron is suitable for a wide range of fabrics including rayon, silk, wool, linen, and cotton.

5.3 Cordless Operation

The iron operates cordlessly once heated. Simply lift it from the charging base and iron freely. For optimal performance, return the iron to the charging base periodically to maintain heat, especially during longer ironing sessions.

5.4 Automatic Shut-Off Feature

For safety and energy saving, the charging base automatically turns itself off if left idle for 10 minutes. This prevents overheating and conserves power.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1 Cleaning the Soleplate

• Allow the iron to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the stainless-steel soleplate with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate.

6.2 Draining and Storing Water

• After each use, ensure the iron is cool.
• Remove the detachable water tank and empty any remaining water.
• Leave the water tank cap open to allow it to air dry, preventing mineral buildup.

6.3 Storage

• Once the iron is completely cool and the water tank is empty, place the iron back onto its charging base.
• Press the retractable cord button on the base to neatly store the power cord.
• For convenient storage and transport, snap the heat-resistant carrying case onto the iron and base.
