• Always unplug the iron before adding or emptying water.
• Use the iron only with its provided power base.
• Ensure the electrical outlet has an earth connection.

Special Instructions

• Never use steam iron cleaning products; they may damage working parts.
• Do not use water additives or scented water; they can stain fabrics.

Functions

Components Identification

NI-WL60/WL50/WL40:

• Soleplate: The heating surface of the iron.
• Water Tank: Holds water for steam generation.
• Water Fill Cover: Access to the water tank.
• Power Base: Connects to the power cord and holds the iron.
• Handle: For gripping and maneuvering the iron.
• Temperature Selected Button: Controls the soleplate temperature.
• Steam/Dry Selector: Switches between steam and dry ironing modes.
• Spray Mist Button (NI-WL60 only): For spraying water.
• Jet of Steam/Vertical Steam Button: For bursts of steam or vertical steaming.
• Case Lock Button: Used to release/secure the cover case.
• Cover Case: Protects and stores the iron.
• Cord Bag (NI-WL60/WL50 only): For storing the power cord.
• Temperature Control Indicator (red): Shows when the iron is heating.
• "Off" Indicator (green): Shows when the iron has automatically shut off.

Anti Calcium Function

The built-in Anti Calcium Cassette softens water and reduces mineral content, minimizing scale buildup in the vaporizing chamber. This extends the life of the steam function. Ordinary tap water can be used without weakening steam performance.

Automatic Shut-Off

The iron automatically shuts off if left on the power base for approximately 10 minutes. To resume ironing, push the Temperature Selected Button until the red light appears at the desired temperature indicator. If power is interrupted and then restored while the iron is in auto shut-off mode, it will remain in shut-off mode.

Automatic Water Seal

An Auto-Valve System in the soleplate closes the valve for the vaporizing chamber when the soleplate temperature drops below 110°C. This prevents water from spitting out and staining clothes. The iron will automatically dry and store when cooled.

Operation

How to Use as a Steam Iron

1. Remove the Cover Case: Place the unit on a stable surface, press the Case Lock Button, and lift to open.
