To clean the iron, unplug it and allow it to cool down. Use a damp cloth to wipe the soleplate. For stubborn stains, use a mixture of water and baking soda, then wipe clean. Avoid using abrasive materials.
Ensure the iron is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check the temperature settings and adjust if necessary. If the iron still doesn't heat, it might need professional inspection.
Set the iron to the lowest temperature setting. Silk is a delicate fabric and high temperatures can cause damage. Always check the garment label for specific instructions.
Ensure the water tank is not overfilled and that the iron is upright when not in use. Use the steam function only when the iron has reached the required temperature.
Regularly clean the soleplate and descale the iron to prevent mineral buildup. Check the water tank for any deposits and clean it with vinegar and water if necessary.
Fill the water tank and set the desired temperature. Once the iron heats up, press the steam button while ironing. Ensure the steam vents are not blocked.
Stop using the iron immediately and replace the cord. For safety, contact a professional technician or the manufacturer for assistance.
It's recommended to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup inside the iron which can affect performance and longevity.
Allow the iron to cool completely, empty any remaining water from the tank, and wrap the cord loosely around the base. Store the iron upright in a dry place.
Check if the temperature setting is appropriate for the fabric. Clean the soleplate to remove any residues that might cause sticking.
