Ironing Tips

• The product heats up quickly. Iron synthetic or silk fabrics using low temperature settings.
• For fabrics prone to shining (e.g., silk), iron them inside out or use the Smart-ECO mode.
• When ironing velvet, use very low pressure and iron in one direction only.
• Steam may cause stains on colored silk garments; do not use steam for these.
• 100% wool garments can be ironed with steam.
• Ironing wool may cause shine; iron inside out.
• ⚠️ Warning: Do not let the iron touch metal components like zippers or buttons, as this can damage the soleplate.

Temperature Settings

Smart-ECO Mode: Suitable for all ironable garments. Provides safe temperature and steam for efficient ironing. Use the steam trigger (11) for steam ironing.

You can use steam at all temperature levels except the '•' setting. Press the steam trigger (11) for steam ironing.

Always consider the care labels on your garments.

Dry Ironing

The appliance will not produce steam unless the steam trigger (11) is pressed. For dry ironing, do not use the steam trigger.

Refilling the Water Tank
