FILLING THE WATER TANK
Make sure that the steam station is disconnected from the power supply before filling the tank. Open the water-inlet cap and fill the tank through the inlet with the beaker.
Do not exceed the maximum level (1.6 l)

IRONING
After filling the water tank, connect the steam station to the power source. Turn off the steam station by pressing the button (1e). Set the required steam intensity by pressing the steam-intensity button (SET – 1f ). The chosen setting will be presented by a highlighted symbol within the control panel. When the steam-readiness lamp (1d) stops blinking and lights permanently, the ironing can start. Press the steam-release button to release the steam from the iron.
The no-water indicator light will come on after 30 seconds, when there is no water in the tank. Water must be poured into the tank through the water inlet.
When the ironing is finished, turn off the steam station by pressing the power button for 3 seconds (1e).

THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
The iron automatically switches off when it remains still for 10 minutes. The indicator light and the sleep-mode icon will flash, and the steam station will emit a sound signal.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never immerse the iron or the steam station in water. Make sure that the iron and the station have cooled down. Wipe the body of the iron and the station with a slightly damp cloth, then wipe until they are dry. The soleplate should be wiped with a soft cloth.
The iron’s cleaning mode should be activated periodically, every 1-3 months, depending on the hardness of the water. The water from the tank will be transferred through the steam ducts of the iron at elevated temperatures. To do this, place the steam station near a sink. Fill the water tank. Connect the steam station to a power source. Start the steam station, wait until it heats up (the control lamp will be on continuously). Place the iron over the sink. Start the iron-cleaning mode by holding down the service button (1g) for 3 seconds. Hot water with steam will start flowing through the iron. When the operation is complete, the iron will produce a sound signal and the cleaning icon will go out.
NOTE: the water flowing out of the iron is very hot. Use extreme caution.
