- Calentamiento inicial: Plug the iron into a suitable power outlet (220 Volts). Set the temperature dial to the maximum setting. The iron will heat up quickly due to its 3200W power. The indicator light will turn off when the desired temperature is reached.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
5.1. Planchado con vapor
For steam ironing, ensure the water tank is filled and the temperature dial is set to a steam-compatible setting (usually indicated by steam symbols on the dial). The iron delivers a variable steam output of up to 60 g/min for effective wrinkle removal.
5.2. Función Steam Boost
For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button. This provides an intense steam shot of up to 250 g/min, penetrating deep into fabrics. Wait a few seconds between each boost to allow the iron to regenerate steam.
5.3. Vapor vertical
The iron can be used for vertical steaming of hanging garments, curtains, or delicate fabrics. Hold the iron vertically, close to the fabric, and press the steam trigger. This feature is ideal for refreshing clothes without an ironing board.

5.4. Planchado en seco
For dry ironing, ensure the steam control is set to 'no steam' or empty the water tank. Set the temperature according to the fabric type. The Durilium AirGlide Autoclean soleplate ensures smooth gliding even without steam.
