- Sort clothes by fabric type and recommended ironing temperature.
- Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet.
- Set the temperature control dial to the desired fabric setting (e.g., Nylon, Silk, Wool, Cotton, Linen). The indicator light will illuminate.
- Wait for the iron to heat up. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.
- Adjust the steam slider for steam ironing or keep it at '0' for dry ironing.

4.2 Steam Ironing
For steam ironing, ensure the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to a steam-appropriate setting (usually Cotton, Linen, or higher). The iron will produce up to 15g/min of continuous steam.
4.3 Vertical Steaming
The iron supports vertical steaming for hanging garments or drapes. Hold the iron vertically a few inches away from the fabric and press the steam button to release bursts of steam.

4.5 Spray Function
Press the spray button to release a fine mist of water, which helps to dampen stubborn creases for easier removal.
5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning the Soleplate
After use, when the iron is cool, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner if necessary. Do not use harsh scouring pads or metallic cleaners, as this can damage the non-stick coating.

5.3 Storage
Once the iron is completely cool and empty, store it upright on its heel rest in a dry, safe place. Wrap the 360-degree swivel cord neatly around the base or use the cord clip if available.
