HOW TO USE
Before first use
Remove any stickers, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.
Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a piece of damp cloth for several
minutes for the purpose of removing any residue on the soleplate.
Note: It is normal for a strange odour to come from the unit during the first use. This is due
to light oils used to preserve components during manufacture. The odour will disappear after
first use.
Operation
Open the water tank cover, then add clean water into the water tank (use beaker not tap).
For
best results and longer product life, use bottled or purified water – especially if you live in
a hard water area
. Make sure not to exceed Max level on the tank. NOTE: IF YOU OVER FILL
THE TANK THE WATER WILL LEAK BACK OUT AGAIN WHEN YOU PUT THE IRON UPRIGHT.
Press down cover of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the correct position.
Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting, which is determined
by the type of fabric you intend to iron. The indicator light will illuminate.
Make sure steam control is on dry (0) position then place the iron vertically
Once soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature, indicator light will turn off,
then set steam dial to your desired steam output or dry position and begin ironing. WARNING:
Not touch hot soleplate at any time during ironing. It will be very hot.
Press spray button a couple of times to moisten the laundry if necessary, before spraying make
sure that there is enough water in water tank. A few presses might be required to pump the
water through on first use
Steam shot function is best used at max temperature, as it helps remove stubborn creases.
The iron has an anti-drip function: if you are ironing dense garments for a long time, the
soleplate temperature can drop. To prevent water coming from the soleplate, the iron will
automatically reduce the steam output.
“Steam shot” can also be applied when holding the iron in a vertical position, so this is useful for
removing creases from hung clothes, curtains, etc.
