The iron features a precise thermostat. Rotate the temperature dial to select the appropriate heat setting for your fabric type. The iron heats up in approximately 15 seconds.

4.2. Steam Ironing

For steam ironing, ensure the water tank is filled and the temperature is set to a steam-compatible setting (usually medium to high, indicated on the dial). Once the iron reaches the desired temperature, adjust the steam control to the desired steam level.

• Continuous Steam: Provides 25g/min of steam for consistent wrinkle removal.
• Steam Burst: Press the steam burst button for an extra shot of 0.3g steam to tackle stubborn creases.
• Water Spray: Use the spray button to lightly moisten fabric before ironing.

4.3. Dry Ironing

For dry ironing, ensure the water tank is empty or the steam control is set to 'OFF'. Select the appropriate temperature for your fabric and wait for the indicator light to signal readiness.

4.4. Vertical Steaming

The iron can also be used for vertical steaming. Hold the iron upright, close to the fabric (curtains, hanging garments), and press the steam burst button to release steam. This is ideal for quick touch-ups.

4.5. 3-Way Auto Shut-off

For safety and energy saving, the iron features a 3-way auto shut-off system:

• Horizontal/Sideways: Shuts off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
• Vertical: Shuts off after 8 minutes of inactivity.

To reactivate the iron, simply move it. The iron will quickly reheat to the set temperature.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your iron.

5.1. Self-Cleaning Function

The self-clean feature helps prevent limescale buildup and maintains optimal steam performance. It is recommended to use this function monthly or as needed.

2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to the highest setting.
3. Once the iron reaches maximum temperature (indicator light turns off), unplug it.
4. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
5. Press and hold the self-clean button. Hot water and steam will be expelled from the soleplate, flushing out mineral deposits.
6. Gently shake the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
7. Release the self-clean button and stand the iron on its heel to cool down.
8. Once cool, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth.
