Using the appliance

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 polyolens (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.
