3. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

• Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging.
• Remove any protective films, stickers, or labels from the soleplate or body of the iron.
• Retain the packaging for future storage or disposal.

Filling the Water Tank:

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the power outlet.
2. Open the water tank inlet cover.
3. Fill the water tank with clean tap water up to the 'MAX' fill line. For areas with hard water, it is recommended to use a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% distilled water, or solely distilled water to prevent limescale buildup.
4. Close the water tank inlet cover securely.

Initial Heating:

For the first use, or after prolonged storage, it is advisable to iron an old piece of fabric to remove any manufacturing residues from the soleplate. Some light smoke or odor may occur during the first few minutes of operation; this is normal and will dissipate.

4. Operating Instructions

Temperature Selection:

• Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
• Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting based on the fabric type. Start with lower temperatures for delicate fabrics and increase for heavier materials.
• The indicator light will illuminate while the iron is heating and turn off when the set temperature is reached.

Steam Ironing:

• Ensure the water tank is filled.
• Set the temperature dial to a steam-compatible setting (usually indicated by steam symbols on the dial). Steam will only be produced at higher temperatures.
• The Fast&Furious 6050 X-Treme features a tactile sensor for steam control. Simply hold the iron handle to activate continuous steam. Release to stop.
• Move the iron smoothly over the fabric.

Steam Shot / Vertical Steaming:

• For stubborn creases, press the steam shot button (if available, typically located on the handle). A powerful burst of steam will be emitted. Wait a few seconds between shots to allow the iron to reheat.
• For vertical steaming of hanging garments or curtains, hold the iron vertically a few centimeters away from the fabric and press the steam shot button.

Dry Ironing:

• If you wish to iron without steam, ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control is set to the 'dry' position (if applicable).
• Select the desired temperature for your fabric.

Automatic Shut-off:

For safety and energy saving, the iron is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature. If the iron is left motionless on its heel rest for approximately 8 minutes, or on its soleplate for approximately 30 seconds, it will automatically switch off. The indicator light will flash to indicate this. To reactivate, simply move the iron.

5. Maintenance and Storage

Cleaning the Soleplate:

• Always unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or metal cleaners.
• For stubborn starch or residue, a specialized iron soleplate cleaner can be used following its instructions.

Descaling (Anti-Calc System):

The Fast&Furious 6050 X-Treme has an integrated water pump, which helps manage limescale. However, regular descaling is still recommended, especially in hard water areas. Refer to the specific descaling instructions in your full product manual if provided, or use a commercial descaling solution designed for irons, following its instructions.

Emptying and Storage:

• After each use, unplug the iron and allow it to cool down.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent limescale buildup and leakage.
• Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
