OPERATION
Cautions of the first use:
• The iron has been greased, and as a result, the iron may slightly smoke when
switched on for the first time. After a short while, this will cease.
• Before using for the first time, remove any sticker or protective foil from the
soleplate. Clean the soleplate with a soft cloth.
• Keep the soleplate smooth: avoid hard contact with metal objects (such as clothes
rack, button and slide fastener).
• Pure woolen fabrics (100% wool) may be pressed with the iron set to a steam
position. Preferably set the steam regulator to strong position, and use a dry
pressing cloth.
Filling with Water:
1. Set the steam regulator to O (=no steam) (only for steam iron).
2. Hold the iron by hand and slant the iron with 45° down, open Water Filling Cover
if any.
3. Fill the water in the box through the Water-Filling Hole, if the water is too hard, it
is advisable to use distilled water, do not put the chemically decaled water in the
water reservoir.
4. Wipe off the water over the box; pour out the remaining water after use.
Dry Ironing
1. Before running the iron, please classify the clothes as per its washing label, as it will
be quicker for the iron to heat up that to cool, the clothes (such as synthetic fabric,
silk etc) with lower ironing temperature shall be ironed firstly, and then iron the
clothes (such as wool, cotton and linen etc) with higher temperature.
2. Stand the iron on its end, and turn the thermostat dial to the MIN position.
3. Plug in the iron and select the temperature by turning the thermostat dial. If there
is water in the reservoir, turn the steam regulator to OFF position. Wait until the
indicator light goes off showing that the required temperature has been reached.
Steam Ironing:
1. Fill water in the iron as per the water-filling methods.
2. Plug the appliance in the socket.
3. If only set thermostat dial to MAX position as per the temperature indicator, steam
iron will be available, otherwise water may leak from the soleplate.
4. It indicates that the temperature has been ready until the indicator light goes off.
5. Set the steam regulator correctly, increase the steam output by rotating the steam
regulator anticlockwise, otherwise decrease.
Caution: Synthetic Fabric, Nylon, Synthetic Silk and Silk cannot use the steam iron,
otherwise it will damage the finish of surface.
