Ironable fabrics
1
Check whether the garment is ironable by reading the label on the garment (Fig. 1-5).
Do not iron non-ironable fabrics. Prints on the garment are not ironable either.
Iron with extra steam
Press and hold the steam boost trigger to get more steam to remove stubborn creases.
Auto shut-off
The auto shut-off function automatically switches off the appliance if it has not been
used for 2 minutes resting on its soleplate or 8 minutes resting on its backplate. The ‘iron
ready’ light flashes to indicate the appliance is at auto-off status.
To let the appliance heat up again, pick up the appliance or move it slightly. The ‘iron
ready’ light turns to breathing and the appliance starts to heat up.
Cleaning and maintenance
For more information on how to performance clean and maintenance on the iron, refer to

Cleaning the soleplate
1
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2
Pour any remaining water out of the water tank.
3
Wipe flakes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-
abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
Note
: To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a
scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
Quick Calc Release (specific types only)
IMPORTANT
: The Quick Calc Release automatically collects loose scale particles during
ironing. After 1 to 3 months of use, the Calc-Clean reminder light starts flashing to
remind you to use the Quick Calc Release function (Fig. 2-1). This is to remove scales
collected from your iron to prolong its life. When the Calc-Clean reminder light is
flashing, the iron does not heat up.
Tip
: The Quick Calc Release function can be used at any time, even when the reminder
light is not activated yet. If you live in a hard water area, use the function more frequently.
Do not perform the Quick Calc Release when the iron is hot. Do not pour water into the
Quick Calc Release opening.
1
Unplug the appliance (Fig. 2-2) and make sure that the appliance is cool (Fig. 2-3).
2
Hold the appliance in vertical position over the sink.
3
Flip up the lever of Quick Calc Release collector (Fig.2-4) and pull out the collector
(Fig.2-5).
4
Clean the Quick Calc Release collector with water (Fig. 2-6, Fig. 2-7).
