3. Parts and Controls

Main Components

• Handle: Ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip.
• Water Tank Filling Inlet: Located at the front of the iron.
• Temperature Control Dial: Rotary knob for selecting fabric-specific heat settings.
• Spray Mist Button: Trigger located on the handle.
• Steam Burst Button: Button for delivering a concentrated burst of steam.
• Non-Stick Soleplate: The Trueglide plate with steam vents.
• Power Cord: 8-foot cord with a strain relief.
• Heel Rest: For standing the iron upright.

Temperature Control Dial Settings: The dial includes symbols for common fabric types (e.g., synthetic, silk, wool, cotton, linen). Match the setting to the fabric you are ironing.

4. Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials and stickers from the iron and soleplate.
2. Check that the voltage indicated on the iron's rating label corresponds to your local power supply.
3. Fill the water tank as described in the next section.
4. Plug the iron into a wall outlet.
5. Set the temperature control dial to the maximum setting and allow the iron to heat for two minutes. This will burn off any residual manufacturing oils.
6. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool. Wipe the soleplate with a soft, damp cloth.

5. Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged and cool.
2. Set the iron upright on its heel rest.
3. Open the water inlet cover.
4. Using a clean jug or the provided filling cup (if included), fill the tank with tap water up to the MAX indicator. Do not exceed this level.
   • Water Type: You can use ordinary tap water. If your water is very hard (high mineral content), using distilled or demineralized water is recommended to prolong the life of the anti-calc system.
5. Close the water inlet cover securely.

Note: The anti-drip system prevents water from leaking from the soleplate when the iron is at a low temperature. For steam to function, the iron must be set to a temperature setting appropriate for steam ironing (typically the ••• or higher settings).

6. Ironing Instructions

Dry Ironing (No Steam)

1. Ensure the water tank is empty or the steam function is turned off.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial to the appropriate setting for your fabric.
3. Wait for the iron to heat up. The indicator light, if present, will turn off when the selected temperature is reached.
4. Begin ironing.

Steam Ironing

1. Fill the water tank as described in Section 5.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature control dial to a steam-approved setting (usually ••• or higher).
3. Wait for the iron to fully heat up.
4. For continuous steam, the iron will produce steam as you glide it over the fabric.
5. For a Burst of Steam to tackle deep wrinkles, press the steam burst button while ironing.

Using the Spray Mist

To dampen fabrics for easier ironing, press the spray mist trigger repeatedly. Ensure the water tank has sufficient water.

Vertical Steaming

You can use the steam function to remove wrinkles from hanging garments, curtains, or other fabrics.

1. Ensure the iron is fully heated and on a steam setting.
2. Hold the iron close to, but not touching, the fabric.
3. Press the steam burst button, moving the iron vertically down the garment.

7. Self-Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning helps prevent scale buildup and maintains steam performance.

Self-Cleaning Function

1. Fill the water tank to half its capacity with clean tap water.
2. Plug in the iron and set the temperature dial to the maximum setting.
3. Allow the iron to heat up completely.
4. Hold the iron over a sink or basin.
5. Press and hold the self-clean button (if present) or follow the specific instructions in your quick-start guide. Steam and hot water will flush through the soleplate, removing mineral deposits.
6. Move the iron back and forth until the water tank is empty.
7. Unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely.
8. Wipe the soleplate and exterior with a soft, damp cloth.

Anti-Calc System: The built-in anti-calc system helps reduce limescale buildup. Using the self-clean function periodically is recommended, especially in areas with hard water.

Cleaning the Exterior and Soleplate

• Always unplug the iron and let it cool completely.
• Wipe the plastic housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe the non-stick soleplate with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use steel wool or scouring pads, as they can damage the coating.
• If fabric residue sticks to the soleplate, allow the iron to heat slightly, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth while the residue is warm.

Storage

• Empty the water tank completely.
• Set the temperature dial to the minimum setting.
• Wind the power cord loosely around the heel rest.
• Store the iron upright in a cool, dry place.

8. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Iron does not heat up.	Not plugged in. Faulty outlet.	Check plug and outlet. Try a different outlet.
No steam is produced.	Water tank is empty. Temperature set too low. Steam vents clogged.	Fill tank. Increase temperature setting. Use self-clean function.
Water drips from soleplate.	Temperature too low for steam. Using incorrect water type.	Increase temperature setting. Use distilled water if in a hard water area.
Iron sticks to fabric or leaves marks.	Soleplate is dirty. Temperature too high for fabric.	Clean soleplate. Lower temperature setting.
Brown spots or stains from soleplate.	Mineral deposits or burnt starch/residue.	Use self-clean function. Wipe soleplate while warm with a damp cloth.
Low steam output.	Scale buildup in steam channels.	Descale using the self-clean function more frequently.

9. Fabric Guide

Always check the garment's care label before ironing. When in doubt, start with a lower temperature setting.

• Synthetics (Acrylic, Nylon, Polyester): Use lowest temperature setting (•). Use dry ironing or a light spray mist.
• Silk: Use low temperature (••). Iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth. Use dry ironing or light steam.
• Wool: Use medium temperature (•••). Use a pressing cloth and steam. Do not press down heavily.
• Cotton: Use high temperature (••••). Dampen fabric or use steam for best results.
• Linen: Use maximum temperature (•••••). Use steam and spray mist, as linen wrinkles easily.
