6. The water in the tank will be heated, after a few minutes, the temperature indicator will be extinguished,
which indicates the soleplate temperature has achieved the selected temperature. And when the indicator
of selected steam level has been changed flashing to illuminating, it indicates you can take out of the iron

NOTE: Do not use chemical, steel, wooden or abrasive cleaners to scrape the soleplate.
2. Clean the upper part of iron with a soft damp cloth. Wipe the water drop on the unit base and the thermal
insulating cushion with dry cloth.
3. To remove the mineral deposits collecting at inner steam generator, firstly put the iron horizontally on a
level surface, then tilt the steam generator and open the drain water cap on the bottom by it rotating
