the lifetime of your appliance.
Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water
tank.

Steam setting
-Auto steam: The iron automatically adjusts the steam output according to the selected temperature
to provide the best ironing result.
-ECO: This steam setting enables you to reduce the steam output to save energy and still have
sufficient steam to iron your garments.
-Dry: This steam setting enables you to iron without steam or to stop steam when the iron is not in
use.
-Iron with extra steam: Press and hold the steam boost trigger to get more steam to remove
stubborn creases.
Steam boost function and vertical steaming
- Press and release the steam boost trigger for a powerful boost steam. This can be used to remove
targeted stubborn creases or creases from a hanged garment.
Note: The steam boost function should only be used at temperature setting between ●●● to MAX. Leaking
may appear if you use steam boost at too low a temperature.
Hot steam comes out of the iron. Do not remove wrinkles from a garment while some one is wearing
it. To prevent burns, do not direct the steam at people.
Safety auto-off (specic types only)
The safety auto-off function automatically switches off the iron if it has not been used for 30 seconds
resting on its soleplate or 8 minutes resting on its backplate. The auto-off light will light up.
- To let the iron heat up again, pick up the iron or move it slightly. The auto-off light goes out.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
1 Unplug the iron and let it cool down.
2 Pour any remaining water out of the water tank from the water lling door.
3 Wipe akes and any other deposit off the soleplate with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid)
cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects. Never use a scouring pad,
vinegar or other chemicals to clean the soleplate.
Calc clean function
IMPORTANT: This iron comes with a Built-in calc container, which collects loose scale particles during ironing. The
calc container is not meant for removal by the user. The scale particles are ushed out of the iron during calc
clean process. Perform calc clean once every 1 month to maintain good steam performance and prolong the
life of your iron. If water in your area is hard, or you see scales coming out from the soleplate during ironing, use
calc clean more frequently.
1 Make sure the iron is unplugged and the steam slider is set to dry setting. (Fig. 11)
2 Fill the water tank to the MAX indication. (Fig. 12)
