4.1 Unpacking and First Use:

1. Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Remove any protective films or labels from the soleplate and body of the iron.

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the mains supply and has cooled down.
2. Open the water tank filler cap, usually located on 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 filler cap securely.

4.3 Connecting the Charging Base:

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Corded vs. Cordless Use:

• Cordless Mode: Place the iron on the charging base. Once heated, lift the iron off the base to iron freely. Return it to the base periodically (e.g., when adjusting garments) to maintain temperature. The LED lights on the base indicate charging status.
• Corded Mode: The iron can be used continuously by keeping it attached to the charging base and plugged into the mains. This is ideal for longer ironing sessions.

5.2 Temperature Selection:

1. Rotate the temperature control dial to select the appropriate heat setting for your fabric. Start with lower temperatures for delicate fabrics and increase for heavier materials.
2. Allow the iron to heat up until the indicator light turns off, signifying the desired temperature has been reached.

5.3 Steam Functions:

• Continuous Steam: Ensure the water tank is filled and the iron is set to a high temperature (usually indicated by the steam symbol on the dial). Press the steam control button to activate continuous steam.
• Steam Shot (Burst of Steam): For stubborn creases, press the steam shot button. This delivers a powerful burst of steam (140 g/min). Wait a few seconds between bursts to allow the steam chamber to refill.
• Vertical Steam: Hold the iron vertically, about 15-30 cm away from hanging garments or curtains. Press the steam shot button to release steam and remove wrinkles.

5.4 Water Spray Function:

• Press the water spray button to mist water onto the fabric. This helps to dampen dry areas and make stubborn creases easier to iron out.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Anti-Calc Function:

The iron is equipped with an anti-calc system to reduce limescale build-up. This system helps to prolong the life and performance of your iron. Regular use of distilled water further minimizes scale formation.

6.2 Self-Cleaning:

To perform the self-cleaning function:

1. Fill the water tank to the 'MAX' level with distilled water.
2. Set the temperature dial to the maximum setting and allow the iron to heat up fully.
3. Once hot, unplug the iron and hold it horizontally over a sink.
4. Press and hold the self-clean button (refer to your iron's specific button layout if not clearly marked). Hot water and steam will be expelled from the soleplate, flushing out impurities.
5. Gently shake the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
6. Reheat the iron to dry the soleplate.

6.3 Cleaning the Soleplate:

• Allow the iron to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use harsh scouring pads or metallic cleaners, as these can damage the ceramic coating.
• For starch or synthetic residue, clean the soleplate with a cloth dipped in diluted vinegar while the iron is cold.

6.4 Storage:

• Always empty the water tank after each use to prevent limescale build-up and leakage.
• Allow the iron to cool down completely before storing.
• Store the iron upright on its charging base or in a safe, dry place.
