USING YOUR STEAM IRON
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove any sticker, protective foil or storage cover from the soleplate.
2. Heat up the iron to maximum temperature and iron over a piece of damp
cloth for several minutes to remove any residue on the soleplate.
Note: It is normal that a strange odour comes out from the unit for the
rstuse.
OPERATION
3. Holdtheironinatiltedposition,usingthemeasuringcuptollwaterinto
the water tank. Ensure not to exceed the maximum level on the tank. See
g1.
4. Press down cover of water tank and you will hear a click if it is in the
correct position.
5. Connect plug to outlet and turn temperature dial to your desired setting,
which is depended on the fabric of garment. And indicator light will be
illuminated. Refer to Fig.2 and IRONING TIPS latter.
6. Makesuresteambuttonisondryposition.(Seeg3),thenplacethe

7. Once soleplate temperature has reached the preset temperature,
indicator light will go off, then set steam button to your desired steam
output or dry position and begin ironing.
WARNING: Do not touch hot soleplate at any time!
8. Press spraying water button a couple of times to dampen the laundry
if necessary, before spraying make sure that there is enough water in
water tank.
9. Steam shot function must be used at maximum temperature, as it helps
remove stubborn creases.
10. The iron has an anti-drip function: if ironing garments for long time,
soleplate temperature will decrease, the iron will stop producing steam
automatically and no water droplets will form from the soleplate.
11. “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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
AFTER IRONING
1. Disconnect power supply and empty the water left in water tank.
2. Reconnect into power supply and disconnect after indicator light goes
off, ensuring the soleplate is dry.
3. Lettheironcompletelycooldown,thenwipeakesandanyother
deposits on the soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive
(liquid) cleaner.
4. Clean the upper part of iron with a damp cloth.
5. Always store the emptied iron horizontally on a stable surface with a
cloth protecting the soleplate.
SELF-CLEAN FUNCTION
The iron should be cleaned regularly according to hardness of water and
using frequency.
1. Fill water into the water tank and set the temperature selector to
maximum position
2. Connect into power supply and indicator light will be illuminated, make sure
SteambuttonisintheDryposition,thenplaceironasg.4
Warning: never pour white vinegar or other liquid cleaners for
eliminating calcium into water tank!

IRONING TIPS
1. Alwayscheckrstwhetheralabelwithironinginstructionsisattachedto
the article. Follow these ironing instructions in any case.
2. The iron heats up quicker than cooling it down, therefore, you should
start ironing the articles requiring the lowest temperature such as those
madeofsyntheticbre.
3. Ifthefabricconsistsofvariouskindsofbres,youmustalwaysselectthe
lowestironingtemperaturetoironthecompositionofthosebres.
4. Silk and other fabrics that are likely to become shiny should be ironed
on the inner side. To prevent staining do not spray water straight on silk
or other delicate fabrics.
5. Velvet and other textures that rapidly become shiny should be ironed in
one direction with light pressure applied. Always keep the iron moving
at any moment.
6. Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be ironed with the iron set a
steam position. Preferably set steam button to the maximum position and
use a dry cloth as a mat.
Note: when ironing woolen fabrics, shining of the fabric may occur.
So it is suggested that you should turn the article inside out and iron
the reverse side.
