In good working condition though it could do with descaling prior to using it.
To secure the iron base to your ironing board please ensure the base is attached using the clamp to fit it to the board. This will keep securely in place then the iron can be use as cordless.
Three lights at the back of the iron base shows lights up when in use. When the red light in the middle lights up just press the restart button.
It is fairly simple to use though the iron feels heavy when filled with water.
