OptimalTEMP Technology
The Optimal TEMP Technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron
temperature setting.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 4) without putting back to the iron platform. This
will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
- Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon (Fig. 5).
- Fabrics with this symbol are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane,
Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene), but also prints on garments (Fig. 6).
Using your appliance
Ironing
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (see section ‘Filling the water tank’).
3 Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket and press the on/o button to switch on the steam generator. The
blue power-on light on the appliance and the ‘iron ready’ light start to ash to indicate that the appliance is
heating up (this takes approx. 2 minutes) (Fig. 7).
, When the appliance is ready for use, the ‘iron ready light’ and the power-on light stop ashing and light up
continuously. Additionally you hear a short beep.
4 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 8).
5 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing. (Fig. 9)
Never direct steam at people.
Steam boost function
The steam boost function is designed to help tackle dicult creases.
- Double press the steam trigger for a continuous shot of steam (Fig. 10). It is not necessary to press and hold the
steam trigger continuously when the steam boost function is activated. To stop the steam boost function, press the
steam trigger once.
Vertical ironing
Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove creases from a garment that someone is wearing. Do not
apply steam near your or someone else’s hand.
You can use the iron in vertical position to remove wrinkles from hanging fabrics.
1 Hold the iron in vertical position, press the steam trigger and touch the garment slightly with the
soleplate (Fig. 11).
Energy saving
ECO mode
- By using the ECO mode (reduced amount of steam), you can save energy without compromising on the ironing
result. The green light is on (Fig. 12).
- You can deactivate the ECO mode by pressing the ECO button. The green light goes o.
Safety auto-o mode
- To save energy, the appliance switches o automatically when it has not been used for 10 minutes. The auto-o
light in the on/o button starts to ash (Fig. 13).
- To activate the appliance again, press the on/o button. The appliance then starts to heat up again.
