- Remove the water tank cover or cap located on the top of the iron.

Step 3: Power On the Iron:
- Locate the power button or switch on the iron. Typically, it will be on the handle or near the base.
- Plug the iron into a power outlet and switch it on. The indicator light will usually illuminate to show that the iron is heating up.

Step 6: Ironing:
- Place the garment or fabric you want to iron on the ironing board or a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Hold the iron’s handle and press the soleplate against the fabric.
- Glide the iron smoothly and slowly over the fabric, following the fabric’s grain or care label instructions.
- For steam ironing, press the steam button or trigger to release steam as needed. Keep the iron moving to prevent water spotting.
Step 7: Vertical Steaming (Optional):
- If you need to remove wrinkles from hanging clothes or drapes, hold the iron vertically and use the steam function. Be cautious of hot steam and keep the iron moving to avoid water dripping.

Step 9: Empty the Water Tank:

Safety
- Read the Manual: Before using the IRONPRO SP010, carefully read the manufacturer’s user manual and follow the provided instructions. The manual contains essential safety information and guidelines specific to this iron.
- Proper Setup: Ensure that the iron is placed on a stable and heat-resistant surface. Keep it away from flammable materials such as curtains, paper, and clothing.
- Power Supply: Plug the iron into a compatible power outlet that matches its voltage and wattage requirements. Using the wrong voltage can damage the iron or pose safety risks.
- Water Filling: If the iron has a water reservoir for steam, only use clean and distilled water. Avoid using tap water, as it may contain minerals that can clog the steam vents over time.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the iron’s temperature settings based on the fabric you are ironing. Start with a lower temperature and increase it as needed to avoid scorching delicate fabrics.
- Auto-Shutoff: If the iron is equipped with an auto-shutoff feature, make sure it is activated. This feature automatically turns off the iron when it is left stationary for a specified period, enhancing safety.
- Steam Release: Be cautious when using the steam function. Direct the steam away from your body and face to prevent burns or scalding.
- Cord Management: Keep the iron’s cord away from the hot soleplate to prevent it from melting or becoming damaged. Do not let the cord hang off the ironing board, where it could be a tripping hazard.
- Unplug After Use: Always unplug the iron from the power source when you have finished ironing. Allow it to cool down before storing it.
- Child Safety: Store the iron in a safe place, out of reach of children. The soleplate and steam vents can become extremely hot and may cause burns.
- Regular Maintenance: Clean the soleplate and steam vents of the iron as recommended in the user manual. This helps maintain optimal performance and safety.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the iron’s power cord, plug, and overall condition for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues, discontinue use and seek professional repair.
- Use on Appropriate Surfaces: Only use the iron on ironing boards or surfaces designed for ironing. Using it on inappropriate surfaces may cause damage or pose safety risks.
- Handle with Care: When not in use, store the iron in an upright position, and do not wrap the cord tightly around it, as this can lead to cord damage.
- Emergency Procedures: In case of any malfunction, unplug the iron immediately and do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact the manufacturer’s customer support or a qualified technician for assistance.
Maintenance:
- Empty the Water Reservoir:
- After each use, it’s essential to empty the water reservoir to prevent stagnant water, mineral buildup, and mold growth. Unplug the iron and wait for it to cool down before emptying the water tank.
- Clean the Soleplate:
- Regularly clean the soleplate to prevent it from accumulating residue and fabric buildup. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe the soleplate gently. If there are stubborn stains or mineral deposits, you can use a soleplate cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Descaling:
- Mineral buildup from tap water can clog the steam vents and affect steam production. Periodically, descale the iron using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Fill the water reservoir with this solution, set the iron to steam mode, and allow it to steam for a few minutes. Then, empty the reservoir and rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
- Check for Blockages:
- Inspect the steam vents and steam chamber for any blockages. If you notice blockages, use a wooden or plastic toothpick to gently clear them. Avoid using metal objects that could scratch the soleplate.
- Store Properly:
- When not in use, store the iron in an upright position with the soleplate facing upwards. This prevents any residual water from leaking out and keeps the iron dry.
- Use Distilled Water:
- To prevent mineral buildup, use distilled or demineralized water in the iron instead of tap water. This will also help maintain the steam system’s efficiency.
- Regularly Replace the Water Filter:
- If your iron has a water filter, replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure proper water quality for steam production.
- Avoid Overfilling:
- Do not overfill the water reservoir. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the maximum water level to prevent spills and leaks.
- Inspect the Power Cord:
- Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, discontinue use and have it repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
- Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions:
- Always refer to the user manual and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions and recommendations specific to your IRONPRO SP010 Colors Compact Ironing Steam.
Troubleshooting:
- If the iron doesn’t heat up, check the power source and temperature settings.
- If there is no steam, ensure the water tank is filled, and the steam settings are adjusted correctly.
- For other issues, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
