level
• Keep the soleplate about 1 cm away from the garment during
ironing.
• Iron the fluffy garment inside out to help them retain their shape.
• The recommended moving speed of the iron head is about
10 cm every 3 seconds.
• When pressing the soleplate against the garment, place a cloth
over the fabric and iron the garment by sliding the iron head quickly
in the dry ironing mode (without switching to the steam level).
• Ironing rayon clothes for a long time may cause shrinkage of clothes.
• The recommended moving speed of the iron head is about
10 cm every second.
• Slowly move the soleplate while ironing. It may be hard to remove
the wrinkle if the movement is too quick.
• Tight creases and sharp lines may not be achieved for these kinds
of clothes.
• The recommended moving speed of the iron head is about 10 cm
every 3 seconds.
Vertical steam ironing
1. Hang the garment you
wish to iron on the ironing
board as shown in the
figure.
In this step, protect the
garment from getting in
contact with the iron
head or the iron holder.
2. Wait until the "
" indicator
stays on after flashing, press the
level switching button to select the
desired steam level and start the
ironing.
Refer to "Fabrics and ironing
recommendations" on page 14 for steam level selection.
3. Pull the garment tight with one hand while ironing with the
other hand to get better results.
Thick clothes such as suits and jackets
Gently pull one end of the garment straight, so as to
spray the steam over the
entire garment.
Cotton
Press the soleplate
against the garment
and slowly slide it
during ironing.
Wool
Keep the soleplate slightly away from the garment so
that the steam is sprayed over the garment from a
distance.
Thin clothes like shirts
Horizontal ironing is recommended for cuffs and collars.
 Fasten the top button on the collar.
 Gently pull the front and back sides of
the garment, and slide the soleplate
back and forth.
 Fasten the cuff buttons, gently
straighten the sleeve edges, and
slide the soleplate back and forth.
Fluffy coats
Iron the fluffy garment inside out to
help them retain their shape.
When ironing a garment hung on a
hanger, press the hand holding the
hanger slightly against the ironing board,
pull the top of the hanger fixer out and
hang the hanger on the bar.
Notes:
a. To hang a garment on the ironing board, do not cover the
iron head and the iron holder with the garment. Otherwise,
the garment may be pinched between the iron head and the
iron holder.
b. Be sure to use the product properly according to the specific
fabric of clothes.
c. There may be a small amount of steam coming out after the
iron head is placed on the iron holder, which is normal. (This
is because the residue water in the iron head is evaporating.)
d. Do not pull the garment forcefully during ironing. Otherwise,
the product may fall over.
e. Do not touch the steam. Doing so may cause scalds.
f . Do not touch the back of the ironing board or the garment.
g. When using a hanger, make sure that the hanger is secured
on the hanger fixer. The maximum loading capacity of the
hanger is 3 kg.
h. During ironing, condensate water may appear on the back
of the ironing board, which is not a malfunction. Wipe it with
a dry cloth after the product has fully cooled down after use.
