3. Placement: Place the iron on a stable, heat-resistant surface, such as an ironing board.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the iron is switched off (temperature dial set to minimum) before plugging the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (240V, 50Hz).

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe ironing:

1. Prepare Garment: Ensure the garment is clean and suitable for ironing. Check the fabric care label for recommended ironing temperature.
2. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric type. Refer to the fabric guide on the dial or the garment's care label.
3. Heat Up: Plug in the iron. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the iron is heating. Once the desired temperature is reached, the light may turn off or cycle on and off to maintain heat.
4. Ironing: Begin ironing the garment. For best results, iron in long, even strokes. The heavyweight design will help flatten creases effectively.
5. Using the Button Groove: Utilize the specially designed button groove to easily iron around buttons, zippers, and seams without damaging them.

6. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your iron:

• Cleaning the Soleplate: After the iron has cooled completely, wipe the soleplate with a soft, damp cotton cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourers, or sharp objects as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Cleaning the Body: Wipe the exterior of the iron with a soft, damp cloth.
• Storage: Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a dry, safe place once it has completely cooled down. Do not wrap the cord tightly around the iron; instead, loosely coil it.
• General Tips:
• Select the fabric setting as per the label of the cloth.
• Use a flat surface/ironing board for effortless ironing.
• Do not iron on zippers, rivets, stickers, sequins, etc., as this can damage the soleplate.
• Keep the iron upright after every use.
• Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged in.
