1. Important Safety Instructions

When using your steam iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• Use the iron only for its intended use.
• To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron in water or other liquids.
• The iron should always be turned to 'OFF' before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the iron cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around the iron when storing.
• Always disconnect iron from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying, and when not in use.
• Do not operate iron with a damaged cord or if the iron has been dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the iron; take it to a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly can cause a risk of electric shock when the iron is used.
• Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave iron unattended while connected or on an ironing board.
• Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water, or steam. Use caution when you turn a steam iron upside down – there may be hot water in the reservoir.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable surface.
• The iron is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the iron by a person responsible for their safety.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Temperature and Steam Settings

Always check the garment's care label for recommended ironing temperature. Adjust the temperature dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric type (e.g., Cotton, Linen, Wool, Silk, Synthetic).

• Dry Ironing: Set the steam control to 'OFF' and select the desired temperature. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, signaling the iron has reached the set temperature.
• Steam Ironing: Fill the water tank. Set the temperature dial to a steam-appropriate setting (usually between '••' and 'MAX'). Once the indicator light turns off, adjust the steam control to the desired steam level.
• Burst of Steam: For stubborn wrinkles, press the 'Steam Burst' button. This delivers a powerful shot of steam (25g/min). Wait a few seconds between bursts to allow steam to regenerate.
• Water Spray: Press the 'Spray' button to release a fine mist of water (0.8g/press), which helps to dampen fabrics and ease wrinkle removal.

4.2 Horizontal and Vertical Ironing

• Horizontal Ironing: Place the garment on an ironing board. Move the iron smoothly over the fabric, applying even pressure.
• Vertical Steaming: Hang the garment on a hanger. Hold the iron vertically a few inches away from the fabric and press the 'Steam Burst' button to release steam. This is ideal for delicate fabrics or quick touch-ups.

4.4 Auto Shut-off Feature

For safety, the iron is equipped with a 3-way auto shut-off feature:

• If left horizontally or on its side, the iron will automatically power off after 30 seconds.
• If left vertically on its heel rest, the iron will automatically power off after 8 minutes.

The red indicator light will flash to signal that the iron has automatically shut off.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Self-Cleaning Function

The self-cleaning function helps remove scale and mineral deposits from the steam vents, ensuring optimal steam performance and extending the iron's lifespan. It is recommended to use this function monthly or as needed.

1. Fill the water tank to the 'MAX' line.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to 'MAX'.
3. Once the iron reaches maximum temperature (indicator light turns off), unplug it.
4. Hold the iron horizontally over a sink.
5. Turn the steam control to the 'SELF CLEAN' position and hold it. Hot water and steam will be expelled from the soleplate, flushing out impurities.
6. Gently shake the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
7. Release the self-clean button and plug the iron back in to heat up and dry the soleplate.
8. Unplug and let the iron cool completely before storing.

5.2 Anti-Calcification System

The built-in anti-calcification system reduces the accumulation of mineral deposits, helping to maintain consistent steam output and prevent clogging.

5.3 Cleaning the Soleplate

If the soleplate becomes stained, clean it with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner designed for iron soleplates. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or metal cleaners.

5.4 Storage

After use, ensure the iron is unplugged and completely cool. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Store the iron upright on its heel rest in a safe, dry place.

Note: It is normal to find residual water in the tank upon first use, as each iron is water-tested during manufacturing to ensure quality.
