BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Fill the water tank with clean water, and then empty the water to ensure the tank is clean 

of any manufacturing residues. Refill the tank.

first time. This is normal and will stop as the element cures.

•

 button 3 or 4 times, to prime and flush clean water through 

the burst of steam pump.

• 

Press the   

cool spray mist

aUTO SHUT-OFF

Auto Shut-off is a safety mechanism to stop the soleplate from heating when the iron is plugged 
in and motionless. It does not turn the iron off.
