How to use

Fill the water tank up to the indicated level before plugging in the iron and set the desired temperature according to fabric care labels. Allow the iron to reach operating temperature, then use steam mode for stubborn creases or dry mode for delicate items. For vertical steaming, hold the iron upright and press the steam control while keeping a safe distance from the fabric to avoid over-wetting. After use, unplug the iron, empty any remaining water if recommended by the manufacturer, and allow it to cool before storing.

Recommendations

Use distilled or demineralized water if your tap water is hard to reduce scale buildup. Adjust temperature settings to match fabric types and perform a small test on inconspicuous fabric areas when uncertain. Regularly clean the soleplate following manufacturer instructions to maintain glide performance.
