The unit is intended for household use only and should not be used for commercial or laboratory purposes.
• Before the first use, unpack the iron and wait for at least 3 hours if it has been stored at a negative temperature. Ensure that the supply voltage of the unit corresponds to the specifications of your mains.
• The iron can be used wirelessly for approximately 20 to 30 seconds before the next cycle of soleplate heating. When using tap water, it is recommended to mix it with distilled water in the specified proportions to prevent scale buildup.
• When filling the water tank, ensure that the iron is switched off and unplugged. Refilling the water tank during ironing should be done with the iron switched off and the power plug removed from the main socket.
• Before using the iron for the first time, test the heated iron on a piece of cloth to ensure that the soleplate and water tank are clean. The iron has different temperature settings for different fabrics.
• The iron has an anti-drip valve to prevent water from leaking out of the soleplate holes. If steam is not supplied during operation, check the temperature control knob, steam supply knob, and the water level in the water tank.
