How do I descale the iron?

Mix equal parts of water and white vinegar, fill the tank, heat the iron to max, and press the self-clean button. Rinse thoroughly.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent scale buildup. Tap water can be used if softened.

How do I use the steam shot function?

Press the steam shot button firmly while ironing. Ensure the iron is hot enough and water tank has sufficient water.

Why is my iron leaking water?

This could be due to insufficient heating (wait for the light to go off) or overfilling the tank. Also, avoid using the steam function at low temperatures.

How do I clean the soleplate?

Unplug and let cool. Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a paste of baking soda and water, then rinse.

If left unattended horizontally for 30 seconds or vertically for 8 minutes, the iron turns off automatically for safety.

Can I use the iron with a voltage converter?

The iron is designed for 220-240V. Using a step-down converter (if needed) may affect performance. Check the voltage rating.

How do I replace the water tank cap?

Contact Maxwell customer service for a replacement part. Do not force the cap; it should click into place.

What is the warranty period?

The Maxwell MW-3057 VT comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.

Is the iron suitable for all fabric types?

ENGLISH

from damage if it is connected to the mains with higher voltage.

Note: While the first switching on the heating element of the iron burns, therefore occurrence of foreign smell and a small amount of smoke is possible, it is normal.

FOLDABLE HANDLE (3)

Before using the iron, lift the handle (3); to do this, press and hold the lock (8) lift the handle, release the lock (8).

WATER SELECTION

Use tap water to fill the tank. If tap water is hard, it is recommended to mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:1, if tap water is too hard, mix it with distilled water in proportion 1:2.

Note: You can use special ironing water instead of distilled water.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Before filling the tank with water, make sure that the unit is switched off and unplugged.

• Set the temperature control knob (5) to the «min» position, and the continuous steam supply knob (2) to the position «∅».
• Open the water inlet lid (1).
• Pour water into the water tank (10) and then close the lid (1).

Notes:

• Do not fill the water tank (10) with scent-ed liquids, vinegar, starch solution, descaling reagents, chemical agents etc.
• Do not exceed the «max» mark (11).
• If you need to refill water during ironing, first switch the iron off and unplug it.

IRONING TEMPERATURE

• Always check the recommended ironing temperature indicated on the tag before ironing.
• If there is no tag with recommendations for ironing, but you know the type of fabric, use the following table to determine the proper temperature.

Symbol	Fabric type (temperature)
•	Synthetics, nylon, acrylic, polyester (low temperature)
••	Silk/wool (medium temperature)
•••	Cotton, linen (high temperature)
max	Maximum temperature

• This table is only valid for smooth materials. Fabrics of other types (crimped, raised etc.) are best ironed at low temperature.
• Sort items by ironing temperature first: synthetics to synthetics, wool to wool, cotton to cotton etc.
• The iron heats up faster than it cools down. For this reason it is recommended to begin ironing at low temperature (for instance, synthetic fabrics).
• After that, start ironing at higher temperature (silk, wool). Cotton and linen items should be ironed last.
• If an item is made of mixed fabrics, the iron should be set to the lowest temperature (for instance, if an item is made from acrylic and cotton, it should be ironed at temperature used for acrylic ironing « • »).
• If you cannot define the fabric structure, find a place that is hidden while wearing and select the ironing temperature experimentally (always start with the lowest temperature and raise it gradually until you get the desired result).
• Corduroy and other fabrics that become glossy quickly should be ironed strictly in one direction (in the direction of the pile) with little pressure.
• To avoid appearance of glossy spots on synthetic and silk fabrics, iron them backside.

DRY IRONING

• Place the iron on its base (7).
  – Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Set the continuous steam supply knob (2) to the position « 🚗 » (continuous steam supply is off).
• Set the desired ironing temperature by turning the knob (5): «•», «•••», «••••» or «max», depending on the type of fabric; the pilot lamp (6) will light up.
• Once the soleplate (12) reaches the set temperature, the pilot lamp (6) will go out, you can start ironing.
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature control knob (5) to the position «min».
  – Pull the power plug out of the mains socket and let the iron cool down completely.

STEAM IRONING

Steam ironing is possible only if the temperature control knob (5) is set to the position «●●●» or «max».

• Place the iron on its base (7).
  – Insert the power plug into the mains socket.
• Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (10).

ENGLISH

• Once the soleplate (12) reaches the set temperature, the pilot lamp (6) will go out, you can start ironing.
• Set the necessary steam intensity with the continuous steam supply knob (2).
• In the continuous steam supply mode, steam will be released from the openings of the sole-plate (12) only if the iron is in horizontal position. To stop the steam supply, put the iron vertically or set the knob (2) to the position « 🚗».
• After you finish ironing, set the temperature control knob (5) to the «min» position, and the continuous steam supply knob (2) to the position « ».

If water is leaking from the soleplate (12) openings during steam ironing, check if the temperature control knob (5) is set properly and make sure that the iron soleplate has heated up (the pilot lamp (6) is off).

BURST OF STEAM

The burst of steam function is useful for ironing folds and can only be used at high ironing temperatures (when the temperature control knob (5) is set to the position «max»).

When the burst of steam button (4) is pressed, steam will go out of the soleplate (12) openings intensively.

Note: To avoid water leakage from the steam openings, press the burst of steam button (4) with 5-10 sec. intervals.

CLEANING AND CARE
