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 polyolefins (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 (specific 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.
