Setup

Before First Use

Filling the Water Tank

• Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
• Set the steam control slider to the "Dry Ironing" position (no steam).
• Open the water filling inlet cover.
• Fill the water tank with clean tap water up to the "MAX" mark. Do not overfill.
• Close the water filling inlet cover securely.
• For optimal performance and to prevent limescale buildup, distilled or demineralized water is recommended, especially in hard water areas.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Setting

1. Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting based on the fabric type. Refer to the fabric care labels on your garments.
3. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating. It will turn off when the set temperature is reached.

Dry Ironing

• Set the steam control slider to the "Dry Ironing" position.
• Select the appropriate temperature for your fabric.
• Once the indicator light turns off, the iron is ready for dry ironing.

Steam Ironing

• Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Set the temperature control dial to a setting suitable for steam (usually 2 dots or 3 dots, indicated on the dial). Steam ironing is not recommended for very low temperatures.
• Once the indicator light turns off, slide the steam control slider to the desired steam level.
• For a powerful burst of steam, press the Steam Shot button. This is useful for stubborn creases or vertical steaming.
• To spray water, press the Spray button. This helps to moisten fabric for easier ironing.

Vertical Steaming

• Hang the garment on a hanger.
• Set the iron to a high temperature setting and allow it to heat up fully.
• Hold the iron vertically, a few centimeters away from the fabric, and press the Steam Shot button repeatedly.

Automatic Shut-off

The iron is equipped with an automatic shut-off safety feature. If the iron is left unattended:

• Horizontally (on its soleplate) for approximately 30 seconds, it will automatically turn off.
• Vertically (on its heel rest) for approximately 8 minutes, it will automatically turn off.
• To reactivate the iron, simply move it.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Soleplate

• Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
• Wipe the ceramic soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the soleplate.

Self-Cleaning and Anti-Limescale Function

The iron features a self-cleaning function and an anti-limescale system to prolong its lifespan and maintain steam performance.

1. Fill the water tank to the MAX level.
2. Set the steam control to "Dry Ironing" and the temperature dial to maximum.
3. Plug in the iron and wait for the indicator light to turn off.
4. Unplug the iron.
5. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
6. Press and hold the self-clean button (if available, otherwise use the steam shot button repeatedly while shaking gently) until all the water, steam, and impurities are expelled from the soleplate.
7. Release the button and allow the iron to cool completely.
8. Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.

Storage

• Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
