Steam Functions
The iron offers adjustable steam settings for effective wrinkle removal:

Dry Ironing
For dry ironing, ensure the steam setting is turned off and the water tank is empty or the steam function is disengaged. Select the desired temperature and iron as usual.
Auto Shut-Off Safety Feature
For your safety, the iron is equipped with an auto shut-off feature. If left unattended, the iron will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity (e.g., 30 seconds if left horizontally, 8 minutes if left vertically).
Maintenance
Self-Clean Function
To maintain optimal performance and prevent mineral buildup, use the self-clean function regularly:
- Fill the water tank to the MAX line.
- Set the temperature dial to the highest setting (Linen) and allow the iron to heat up.
- Once hot, unplug the iron and hold it horizontally over a sink.
- Press and hold the 'SELF-CLEAN' button. Hot water and steam will flush out mineral deposits from the soleplate.
- Release the button when the tank is empty.
- Allow the iron to cool completely before storing.

The titanium-infused ceramic soleplate features convenient self-cleaning technology.
Cleaning the Soleplate
The titanium-infused ceramic soleplate is scratch-resistant and non-stick. For minor residue, wipe with a damp cloth after the iron has cooled. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metallic scouring pads.
Storage
Always ensure the iron is cool and empty of water before storing. The included heat-resistant storage box is designed for convenient and safe storage, even if the iron is still warm.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Iron does not heat up. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; auto shut-off activated. | Check power connection; try a different outlet; move the iron to reactivate. |
| No steam or insufficient steam. | Water tank empty; temperature too low; steam vents clogged. | Refill water tank; set to a higher temperature (steam requires higher heat); perform self-clean. |
| Water dripping from soleplate. | Temperature too low for steam; overfilled water tank. | Allow iron to reach full temperature before using steam; do not overfill water tank. |
| Fabric sticking to soleplate. | Residue on soleplate; incorrect temperature setting. | Clean soleplate; adjust temperature according to fabric type. |
