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 polyolefins (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/off button to switch on the 
steam generator. Wait until the ‘iron ready’ light lights up continuously (Fig. 9). This takes approx. 
2 minutes.

Remove the steam supply hose from the steam supply 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).
Note: For first use, press and hold the steam trigger continuously for up to 30 seconds for steam. It 
can take a longer time if the iron is stored for a long time.

For best ironing results, after ironing with steam, perform the last strokes without steam.

MAX setting

For faster ironing and a higher amount of steam, you can use MAX setting. 

1 

Press and hold the on/off button for 5 seconds until the light turns white. 

2 

The appliance returns to normal steam mode automatically after 15 minutes to save energy.

Otherwise, to switch back to normal steam mode at any time, press and hold the on/off button for 
2 seconds until the light turns blue again.

Press the steam trigger twice quickly to activate the steam boost function. The appliance releases 
3 powerful shots of steam.
