Setup

Unboxing

Before using your PowerXL Mineral Glide Steam Iron, carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the iron for any damage. Keep packaging away from children.

This video provides a visual guide to unboxing and preparing a similar steam iron for first use. Note that the iron shown in the video is a T-fal model, but the general unboxing and water filling steps are applicable.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
2. Open the water tank cover, usually located at the top of the iron.
3. Using a measuring cup, carefully pour distilled or demineralized water into the tank up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill.
4. Close the water tank cover securely.

Using distilled water helps prevent mineral buildup and extends the life of your iron, especially in areas with hard water.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Settings

The iron features a temperature dial to select the appropriate heat setting for your fabric. Always check the garment's care label before ironing.

• Low Heat: For delicate fabrics like silk and synthetics.
• Medium Heat: For wool and blends.
• High Heat: For cotton and linen.

Allow the iron to heat up completely before use. An indicator light will usually turn off when the desired temperature is reached.

Steam Functions

The PowerXL Mineral Glide offers various steam options:

• Continuous Steam: Activate by setting the steam selector to the desired level. This provides a steady flow of steam for general ironing.
• Vertical Steam: Hold the iron upright, close to the hanging garment, and press the steam shot button. This is effective for removing wrinkles from clothes on hangers or drapes.
• Steam Shot: For stubborn wrinkles, press the steam shot button. This delivers a powerful burst of steam.

Fine Mist Spray

For lightly dampening fabrics and easing out wrinkles, use the fine mist spray function. Press the spray button to release a fine mist onto the fabric.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Auto Clean System

The iron is equipped with an Auto Clean system to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal steam performance. Follow these steps for self-cleaning:

1. Fill the water tank to the MAX line with distilled water.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature to maximum.
3. Once the iron reaches maximum temperature (indicator light turns off), unplug it.
4. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
