   • Reinsert the water tank firmly into the base unit until it clicks into place.
4. Connecting to Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating

1. Power On: Switch on the appliance using the power button. The indicator light will illuminate.
2. Temperature Selection: Turn the rotary knob on the iron to select the appropriate temperature setting for your fabric type. Refer to the fabric care labels on your garments. Allow the iron to heat up until the temperature indicator light turns off, indicating it has reached the desired temperature.
3. Steam Level Selection: Select one of the three steam levels (Low, Medium, High) on the base unit according to your ironing needs. The steam output is approximately 140 g/min with a steam pressure of about 7 bar.
4. Ironing:
   • Press the steam trigger on the iron handle to release steam.
   • Move the iron smoothly over the fabric.
   • For dry ironing, simply do not press the steam trigger.
5. Refilling Water During Use: If the water tank runs empty, the appliance will indicate this. Unplug the appliance, remove and refill the water tank, then reinsert it and plug the appliance back in. Wait for it to reheat.
6. After Use: Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow the iron to cool down completely on its heat-resistant rest before storing.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steam ironing station.

• Cleaning the Soleplate:
  • After the iron has cooled down, wipe the ceramic-coated soleplate with a damp cloth.
  • For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive iron cleaner.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the housing station, iron, and water tank with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Descaling: The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of your water and frequency of use. If you notice reduced steam output or white flakes, descaling may be necessary. Refer to the specific descaling instructions in a more detailed manual if available, or use a suitable descaling solution for steam irons following its instructions. Always use distilled water to minimize limescale buildup.
• Storage: Once the appliance is completely cool, empty any remaining water from the tank. Use the transport lock to secure the iron to the base. Store the appliance in a dry, safe place, out of reach of children.
