Let the iron cool down, then wipe the soleplate with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Why is the steam not coming out?

Check that the water tank is filled and the temperature is set to a steam setting (at least 2 dots). Make sure the steam button is not blocked.

Can I use the iron without water?

Yes, dry ironing is possible. Simply set the desired temperature without filling the tank. Avoid activating the steam function when empty.

How to store the iron after use?

Empty the water tank, let it cool completely, wrap the cord around the heel, and store the iron upright on its heel in a dry place.

What to do if the iron does not heat up?

Check the electrical outlet and the cord. If the problem persists, the thermal fuse may have blown; contact customer service.
