OptimalTemp technology

No temperature and steam setting needed.

The OptimalTemp technology enables you to iron all types of ironable fabrics, in any order, without

adjusting the iron temperature or steam setting.

Fabrics with these symbols are ironable, for example linen, cotton, polyester, silk, wool, viscose and

rayon (Fig. 2).

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. 3).

Type of water to use

This appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in an area with very hard

water, fast scale build-up may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled or de-mineralized

water to prolong the lifetime of the appliance.

Do not put perfume, vinegar, starch, descaling agents, ironing aids or other chemicals in the water

tank of the appliance, as your appliance is not designed to work with these chemicals.

Ironing

Please read the quick start guide on the packaging carefully to start using your

appliance.

Note: Keep the steam trigger pressed continuously when you move the iron over the fabric while you iron.

Steam boost function (specic types only)

Press the steam trigger twice quickly and release it for a high continuous steam output during 13

minutes. Hence you do not have to press the steam trigger continuously, which gives a more

comfortable ironing experience.
