OptimalTEMP technology
Warning: Do not iron non-ironable fabrics.
The OptimalTEMP technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without adjusting the iron
temperature and without sorting your garments.
It is safe to just rest the hot soleplate directly on the ironing board (Fig. 6) without putting back to the iron platform. This
will help reduce the stress on your wrist.
- Fabrics with these symbols (Fig. 7) are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and rayon.
- Fabrics with this symbol (Fig. 8) are not ironable. These fabrics include synthetic fabrics such as Spandex or elastane,
Spandex-mixed fabrics and polyolens (e.g. polypropylene). Prints on garments are not ironable either.
Ironing
1 Place the steam generator on a stable and even surface.
Note: In order to ensure safe ironing we recommend to always place the base on a stable ironing board.
2 Make sure that there is enough water in the water tank (see '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.Wait until
the 'iron ready' light lights up continuously (Fig. 9). This takes approx. 2 minutes.
4 Remove the water supply hose from the water supply hose storage compartment.
5 Press the carry lock release button to unlock the iron from the iron platform (Fig. 10).
6 Press and hold the steam trigger to start ironing (Fig. 11).
7 For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.
Warning: Never direct steam at people.
For more powerful steam, you can use the turbo steam mode.
1 Press and hold the on/o button for 5 seconds until the light turns white.
2 The appliance returns to normal steam mode automatically after 15 minutes to save energy.
3 Otherwise, to switch back to normal steam mode at any time, press and hold the on/o button for 2 seconds until the
light turns blue again.
Steam boost function
Use the steam boost function to remove stubborn creases.
1 Press the steam trigger twice quickly (Fig. 12).
Vertical ironing
Warning: Hot steam is emitted from the iron. Never attempt to remove wrinkles from a garment while someone is
wearing it (Fig. 13). Do not apply steam near your or someone else's hand.
You can use the steam 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 lightly with the soleplate and move
the iron up and down (Fig. 14).
Safe rest
Resting the iron while rearranging your garment
While rearranging your garment, you can rest the iron either on the iron platform or horizontally on the ironing board (Fig.
6). The OptimalTEMP technology ensures the soleplate will not damage the ironing board cover.
