Setup
Before First Use
- Remove any labels or protective film from the soleplate.
- Clean the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth.
- For the first use, iron an old piece of fabric to remove any manufacturing residues. A small amount of smoke or odor may occur initially; this is normal and will dissipate.
Filling the Water Tank
- Ensure the iron is unplugged from the mains and cooled down.
- Open the water tank filler cap.
- Fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
- Close the filler cap securely.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Settings
- Place the iron on its charging base and plug the base into a suitable power outlet.
- Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type. Refer to the garment care label.
- Wait for the indicator light to turn off, indicating the iron has reached the selected temperature.
Steam Functions
- Continuous Steam: Ensure the temperature is set to a steam-compatible level (usually 3 dots or 'MAX'). Slide the steam control to the desired steam output.
- Steam Boost: Press the steam boost button for an extra burst of steam to tackle stubborn creases. Wait a few seconds between bursts to allow the iron to regenerate steam.
- Vertical Steaming: Hold the iron vertically a few centimeters from the fabric and press the steam boost button. This is suitable for curtains or hanging garments.
Cordless Operation
- Once the iron is heated, lift it from the charging base.
- Iron freely without the cord.
- When the iron's temperature begins to drop, or for a quick reheat, place it back on the charging base. The indicator light will illuminate, showing it is recharging.
- The iron recharges quickly, allowing for continuous ironing sessions by alternating between ironing and placing it on the base.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Soleplate
- Ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool.
- Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
- Do not use abrasive pads, metal objects, or chemical cleaners as these can damage the soleplate.
Descaling
The iron features an integrated anti-calc system. For optimal performance, regular descaling is recommended, especially in hard water areas.
- Fill the water tank with tap water.
- Heat the iron to its maximum temperature setting.
- Unplug the iron and hold it horizontally over a sink.
- Press and hold the self-clean button (if available, refer to specific model diagrams) or shake the iron gently to allow steam and water to flush out mineral deposits.
- Repeat if necessary.
Storage
- Empty the water tank after each use.
- Allow the iron to cool completely before storing.
- Store the iron vertically on its base in a safe, dry place.
Troubleshooting
