Fabric not to be ironed

Caution: If the fabric consists of various kinds of fibers, always select the lowest ironing temperature of the composition of those fibers. Start ironing the garments requiring a low temperature. This reduces the waiting times (the iron takes less time to heat up than to cool down) and eliminates the risk of scorching the fabric.

FIRST USE

When using the iron for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke and hear some sounds made by the expanding plastics.
This is quite normal and it stops after a short time. We also recommend passing the iron over an ordinary cloth when using it for the first time. In a new iron, you may find residue water, it is caused by a routine seal test, during mass production

DRY IRONING (without steam) FUNCTION

Connect the power cord of the appliance to the wall outlet.
Turn the temperature control knob (I) to the desired temperature depending on the type of fabric you want to iron. Make sure that the steam control switch (C) is in the “O” position.
When the iron reaches the required temperature, the heating indicator light (H) will turn off.
After use, turn the temperature control knob (I) to the “OFF” position.
Remove the plug from the wall socket.

SPRAYING FUNCTION

Fill the water tank with water as described in “Filling with water”.
Press water spray button (D).
Note: No matter what steam ironing of dry ironing is, spray will always be available in any case.

STEAM IRONING FUNCTION

Fill the water tank with water as described in “Filling with water”.
Plug in. The power/heating indicator lights (M / H) will turn on.
Turn the temperature control knob (I) clockwise to the “MAX” position. Do not turn the switch to” N” or “O” for steam ironing.
When the iron reaches the required temperature, the heating indicator light (H) will turn off.
Adjust the steaming by moving the steam control switch (C).
After use, turn the temperature control knob (I) to the “OFF” position.
Remove the plug from the wall socket.
After each use, make sure that the water tank is empty.

Caution: Do not steam ironing synthetic fabrics, nylon, synthetic silk or silk fabrics. Steam can ruin the texture of the fabric.

BURST OF STEAM FUNCTION

This function will be able to provide more steam to remove stubborn creases.

Set the temperature control knob (I) to MAX until the indicator light (H) goes off.
Release the steam by pressing the steam button (E).
Wait for several minutes and let the steam penetrate through the fabric, and then release more steam through pressing this button again.

Note:

There should be 3-5 seconds rest between two times of pressing Steam burst button (E) in order to obtain the best steaming result.
Fill the water to the MAX position before using this function.
In order to prevent the water leaking from soleplate, please do not press the steam burst button (E) continuously with more than 5 seconds.

VERTICAL STEAM IRONING FUNCTION

The vertical steam ironing system allows you to use the iron for vertical ironing. This is especially useful for getting wrinkles out of hanging clothes, curtains.

Fill the water tank with water as described in “Filling with water”.
Plug in. The power/heating indicator lights (M/H) will turn on.
Turn the temperature control knob (I) to the “MAX” position. Do not turn the switch to” N” or “O” for steam ironing.
When the iron reaches the required temperature, the heating indicator light (H) will turn off.
Adjust the steaming by moving the steam control switch (C).
Hang the garment on a clothes’ hanger and pull the garment tight with one hand.
Hold the iron in vertical position with the other hand and press the steam burst button (E) to iron the garment. Touch the garment lightly with the soleplate of the iron to remove creases.
After use, turn the temperature control knob (I) switch to the “OFF” position.
Remove the plug from the wall socket.
After each use, make sure that the water tank is empty.
Caution: Do not use steam ironing on clothes or fabrics that are wearing people or animals. The temperature is too high.

SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM

Note: Before you start the self-cleaning procedure, make sure the iron is not plugged in and the steam control (C) is in the “O” position.

Fill the water tank with water up to “MAX”. Do not use vinegar or other descaling liquids in the water tank.
Plug in and turn the temperature control knob (I) to the “MAX” position. The power / heating indicator lights (M/H) will turn on.
When the heating indicator light (H) turns off, unplug.
Hold the iron in a horizontal position above the sink. Press and hold the Self-Clean button (J).
Steam and boiling water will start to come out of the iron plate holes, which contain salts and minerals that have been accumulated in the steam chamber from previous uses.
Gently move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
Caution: The water that comes out during self-cleaning is very hot. Be very careful not to fall on you.
When the water tank is empty, release the self-clean button.
Allow the iron to cool down completely.
Wipe the soleplate with a cold damp cloth.

ANTI-CALC SYSTEM

A special filter inside the water tank softens the water and prevents scale build-up in the soleplate. The filter is permanent and does not need replacing.

Use tap water only.
Distilled and demineralized water makes the anti-calc system ineffective by altering its physicochemical characteristics.

ANTI-DRIP SYSTEM

This iron is equipped with drip stop function: the iron automatically stops steaming when the temperature is too low to prevent water from dripping out of the soleplate. With the anti-dripping system, you can perfectly iron even the most delicate fabrics.

AUTO SHUT-OFF SYSTEM

An electronic safety device will automatically switch the heating element off if the iron has not been moved more than 30 seconds in a horizontal position. If in a vertical position, this will happen after 8 minutes.
To indicate that the heating element has been switch off, the heating indicator light (H) will turn off, and the power indicator light (M) will start blinking, and with alarm 6 times.
When picking up the iron again, the power indicator light (M) and the heating indicator light (H) will turn on. This indicates that the iron is heating up again. Wait for the heating indicator light (H) to turn off. Then the iron is ready for use.

AFTER IRONING:

To extend the working life of the iron, whenever you finish ironing, you are recommended to empty the reservoir as follows: Unplug from the mains socket. Empty the iron by opening water tank cover and holding it with the tip pointing downwards. Shake it lightly above a sink then close the cover. To dry the remaining moisture, turn the iron on again with the thermostat control knob (I) in the MAX position with steam control switch (C) in MAX position until Power indicator light (M) goes off. Unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool down. Clean the soleplate with a dry cloth as traces of moisture could mark it.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, remove the plug from the socket and allow the iron to cool down sufficiently.

Wipe off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaner.
If the fiber is adhered to the soleplate, use a damp cloth with vinegar to wipe off the soleplate.
Never use strong acid or alkali in order to avoid damaging the soleplate.
