Frequently Asked Questions - ES2018 Kunft

How do I fill the water tank?

Unplug the iron. Open the water fill cap and fill with clean tap water up to the MAX mark. Do not overfill. Use a measuring cup if necessary.

Can I use tap water in the iron?

Yes, but for best results and to reduce scale buildup, mix tap water with distilled water in a 1:1 ratio. Alternatively, use demineralized water.

How do I activate the self-cleaning function?

Fill the tank to MAX, set the iron to maximum temperature, and unplug it. Hold the iron over a sink, press and hold the self-clean button until steam and water flush out. Release and let cool.

Why is my iron not producing steam?

Ensure the water tank is filled, the temperature dial is set to the steam range (usually high), and the steam trigger is pressed. If still no steam, check if the iron is hot enough and clean the vents with the self-clean function.

How do I store the iron after use?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Empty the water tank. Wrap the cord loosely around the cord storage. Store upright on its heel rest in a dry place.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The iron automatically turns off if left stationary for 5 minutes upright or 30 seconds horizontally or tipped over. To reactivate, simply move the iron.

How do I descale the iron?

Use the self-clean function monthly. For heavy scale, fill tank with a mixture of half water and half white vinegar, heat on high steam for a few minutes, then self-clean. Rinse with clean water.

Can I use the iron for vertical steaming?

Yes. Hang the garment and hold the iron vertically close to it. Press the steam burst button to release steam. Keep a safe distance to avoid burns.

What should I do if the cord is damaged?

Stop using the iron immediately. Contact Kunft customer service or an authorized service center for replacement. Do not attempt to repair the cord yourself.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let it cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, gently rub with a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
